To add to Andrew's suggestions...be sure to unplug the washer before working on it!!! I know you already know this, but it's a reminder because when we have to deal w/such stuff we sometimes to forget to do it.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
