Right before the lockdown was imposed in my state, my high-tech and expensive washer died. I quickly bought the most basic/low tech and made in America model I could find. My next step is getting extra spare parts that commonly wear out along with print outs of repair/maintenance manuals for all my machines. I know a spare bucket and clean plunger can also suffice as a washer in a power out situation and those items are always handy to have around. I’m hopeful it won’t come to that but plan on being prepared just in case.
