"Probably best if you can afford to replace as normally once problems occur it can be more costly to repair constantly"

"If the washing machine was purchased by you then you should have warranty at least five years some are ten years warranty. So I would check this out first."

"Doesn't sound too good I would get a new one. You could get it fixed and a few months down the line it brakes again.
Get a cheaper washing machine insurance or warranty when you get the new one.
Kind regards"

"Probably just as cheap to replace the washing machine in my opinion.
If you have contents insurance then put in a claim to get it fix. There could be further damage to the machine if the drum is bouncing around"
