Washing machine woes

I think the washing machine might be in need of a bit of TLC. Yesterday it was sounding decidedly unhealthy during the spin cycle (at first I thought a plane was taking off at the nearby airfield) and when it finally stopped, there was a slight burnt smell which I suspect might be the motor. I haven’t dared use it since (need Michael to have a look at it when he has time). Fortunately, with the in-laws being away, we’re needing to pop round twice a day to feed the cat and so I can use their washing machine instead.
