MaJoC, it's a small room, so not much of a dance! The bread machine has to be put in a spot where the feet are in good contact with the counter so it doesn't waltz off of the edge, so I have a vision of what you're talking about. (Another fan of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, I see! I use it frequently.)

By the way, the repair guy said it was probably the impeller in the pump that failed. How does that line up with your speculation about the reason the washer wasn't draining in the discussion further up the thread?
