This post might belong in the Haven over random discussion. If you have a documented disability, you might qualify for a home health aid. If not, you might wanna ask friends or family for help with laundry. Do you have anyone close to you to help?

What part, exactly, is causing the problem?

Is it hard to access, or awkward/difficult with the actual laundry?

How often do you do your laundry?

When our washing machine died one time I took everything out of it and hand washed it in a bathtub and rinse it under the shower, rung it out and then put it in the drier. Things could be hung to dry, too.

It's not as easy as hand washing small items in a sink, but, sheets and things can be hand washed in a bathtub, rung out and hung on a rack or clothesline to dry.

When my washing machine died I got a new toilet plunger and a five gallon bucket and used the plunger as an agitator.It worked really well for light items.
