If you're like most people, the time you allot to household chores is limited. Just imagine trying to throw a load of laundry in before heading off to work and finding that your washing machine won't start—major frustration, right?

No one is under the illusion that a washing machine will last forever, but a broken one always brings up the eternal question: should it stay or should it go?
