I looked up how to fix a door seal on YouTube and was able to fix our washing machine instead of buying a new one -as the cost of an actual repairman was more than it was worth. I am a very proud of myself and glad I showed my girls that women are just as capable as men when it comes to fixing things! Also I cleaned out the washing machine filter trap while I had it taken apart and found a bracelet that my late mother gave me in it (so it was like a pat on the back from her) 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
