Hmm, ours just broke too. It also didn't spin, but started pouring smoke into the basement instead.
We called Mark from ABC Repair Services, who came for more of a "consultation" ($45) since we didn't want to fix it if it were going to be over a certain threshold of money ($200) at which point, it makes more sense to just get a new one.
It made more sense just to get a new one.
But Mark was very helpful (if absurdly late with no explanation), and showed me everything that he was doing and why, and didn't even mind when we said, thanks, but we don't really want to spend that much money to fix it.
Good luck! $200, by the way, is what most repairmen say is the cut-off for what you should spend to fix a washing machine, since new ones only cost $400-500 and come with guarantees and whatnot.
