Just finished my first real DIY repair on my washing machine, and I gotta say, feeling pretty accomplished right now. It was making this awful noise, like it was trying to take off or something, and I was pretty sure it was on its last leg. Watched a couple of tutorials and took a deep dive into the manual, and turns out it was just a loose belt. Who knew, right? Saved some bucks and learned something new. If you've got a machine acting up, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. You might surprise yourself.
