It was only 20 years old!

There's no hope -- the washing machine is definitely broken. The smoke has cleared, but instead of merrily spinning it just emits a crackling, buzzing noise (well, it did until I unplugged it.)

This is a problem. I have no experience with using big rocks to clean my clothes, nor is there a stream nearby. Nor is there money in the bank. Well, there is, but none of it's mine.
