My washer first had a problem of leaking water from below the tub when it spun between cycles. Then the cold water would not come on to fill the tub in either the cold or warm settings nor for the rinse cycle. Lastly, even after I filled the tub with water and closed the lid to start the machine it makes a sort of growling sound and refuses to budge.
I know it's an old machine but I'd like to hang on to it for a couple of more years if at all possible if it isn't too great a cost to repair.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
