Apparently a coin is to blame........ (kind'a)
A coin lodged itself in the washing machine and made it's way to the motor and began to wear it out.

Immediately after he left, I started on the loads of clothing awaiting a cleaning.

Hurray for clean clothes!!!
The laundromat was killing us at $50 a visit.
