Note(s) to self:

1. Do not let Odysseus load the washer again.

2. Find a way to dissuade Cricket from climbing through from the back room to the bathroom.

Forty dollars for a service visit ain't bad, but we're going to have to replace a newly-leaky drain hose on the washer, and may have to replace the washer, since the motor's been overheated a couple times by a sock jammed between the top of the tub and the rim by two loads crammed into one.
