Re: washing machine
Main centre bearing?
Might be easy enough to renew, you can google for spares, it's amazing what's available retail.

Re: washing machine
Remember a dead washing machine is still useful for parts!
All that stainless steel can be used to make protective guards and heat shields tht won't rust away.
As the drum is perforated allowing water to drain away or air to blow through so could be used to stop stones
hitting the engine if used as a protective under skirt/sump pan gaurd
