I had something similar happen to my washer: A piece of metal got into the
pump housing and cracked it causing a nice water spill that eventually ended
up in the basement. The piece of wire turned out to be an underwire from one
of the bosses' bras.......
And of course, this was in the shiny new front loader that is much more
complicated to work on that the simple old electric dryer so I had to pay
someone to fix the washer. sigh
Thanks for the input on the squeak everyone!
