Okay ladies, my washing machine broke down on Saturday (I think) and I've been waiting to have it fixed. Well today the guy came out and fixed it good as new.....YEAH!!!!!!!
It only cost $77.40, because he didn't have to put on any new parts....
All he had to do was: 
REMOVE A BELLY BAND FROM INSIDE THE PUMP!!!!!
So ladies, be careful and start putting those belly bands in one of those net baggies for laundry.
