Washing Machine WOES!! house almost burnt down!!!

So my wife and I are upstairs putting laundry away.

We hear our laundry machine start to make a thudding sound (No biggie, just the load off balance. Happens all the time.) When out of nowhere we hear a loud screech followed by the smoke alarm

I run downstairs and the bottom story is filled with smoke!! Im talking 4 feet of smoke thick as heck. I quickly turn off the washing machine and find that something was being chewed to shreds in the back of it (Black Burnt Plastic EVERYWHERE).

Needless to say, I NEED A NEW WASHING MACHINE AND QUICK!!! ALL MY DIRTY CHONIES AND SOCKS WERE GETTING WASHED!!!!


So if anybody knows anyone that needs to get rid of a washing machine, let me know ASAP!!!! I NEED ONE!!!

I had my oven catch on fire last week, but an oven fire is really just a success at flame broiling.
