It's likely you can get parts and repair it - if you are mechanically handy.
I have what I believe is a 25+ year old washer and dryer in my house (acquired well used). I've had to replace a few parts and rebuild the entire drive and bearing mechanism for the dryer (had the drum out on the floor).
Several hundred in parts... but, a lot cheaper than a new one.
I'll try to fix it if it's possible, but I know nothing about washing machines! I think I'll have someone take a look at it to try to find out what is wrong and if it is repairable, and how much it would cost.
I am also having a new breaker box put in my house, so I'd really like to save as much as possible!
I've replaced 3 parts on my washing machine. The 1st 2 were both less than $10 (an electrical relay and a switch). The third part was the solenoid water valve for both hot & cold water fill & Rinse. It was I think about $25.
Rebuilding the dryer drum drive and bearings was a lot more expensive (I decided to replace all wear parts as long as I was taking it that far apart).
My 7-year-old Samsung washer just shit itself.

Go for it...
