We also went over to our friendly neighborhood appliance store (Western Appliance near the corner of Bascom and W. San Carlos, if you're San Jose local) and bought a new washing machine. It's a Maytag Neptune front-loader; $700 less an eventual $100 water utility rebate (it uses considerably less water than the old one, and less power, too).

It's also supposed to be much quieter, doesn't get unbalanced when spinning, and of course it doesn't leak.

About the only major appliance we didn't get there is the oven, because they didn't have a gas oven the right size. (Gas ovens in general are getting hard to find.)
