Well, if they went through the spin cycle, they would have had to have gotten wet first. Maybe she is using the dryer not the washer.....similar results.

I rebuilt a Whirlpool washer at around 20 years old, pulled the trans apart and just put it back together with a new gasket; was still in perfect shape, with bigger gears than I've seen in some cars. Wouldn't be surprised if those new ones out of China are made with pot metal. Or plastic.

Dang, the tiny one already woke up from her afternoon nap. Maybe 20 minutes. Argh, probably needs a fresh diaper, she's real particular about anything wet down there, wants it changed immediately.
