OK, call me dumb.  But 2 yrs ago I had a !@@#@ contractor wire up a place for a new washer and dryer in a 'vacation' home.  He left under unpleasant circumstances with the wires just hanging out of the wall.  I finally persuaded a friend to spend time in the boonies, unpack the washer and put in plugs and I plugged in the washer.  And, it doesn't work (though, it did turn on when we used an extension cord from the other side of the house).  We checked the new plug, and there's 120 out of each side -- ugh!  Is the washer totally toasted -- or is there a fuse/fuses/circuit board we can replace??  And, is it worth trying to fix it?

It's a GE WSLS1100A.  and, if I were to get a similar one, new, would be way too much for me to afford -- (thank you so much President Bush).

Any help is appreciated!
