I'm not familiar with the dryer but the washer is a good enough machine as others have stated. In UK we don't normally bother trying to have matched pairs of machines and a lot of people don't even own dryers. I would change the washer pump and look at the dryer to see if it's a simple fix.
Dave, There is no reason to throw down your toys in this situation. If you are not willing to put forth some effort, you are not going to have much success with vintage appliances. We who have been doing this for decades figure that each new acquisition is going to need work and some tracking down of parts. That is just the nature of old appliances. As someone said about used cars, "Nobody gets rid of a car because it is working too well." The same goes for appliances. Several of us have given you good advice on how to go about getting the pump and other parts. Yes, the dryer is not the most durable machine ever made, but if you are using it by yourself, it will not have the heavy use of a family so it will work for a while and after that, there are other 24" dryers you can put on top of the washer. I can sense your frustration, but channel that negative energy into some positive effort and you will have the machines restored before you know it. We are here for support and information, so you would not be by yourself in your efforts.
Have a better day. Don't let these little machines best you.

Personally i tell you would not have bought that pair of machines since the start, for too many reasons.
But, I think that now that you got them and spent good money will not be the parts needed getting you in bankrupt now, rather I personally would feel frustrated and pissed off knowing I spent money for a broken machine and let it go to scrapper without even trying to fix it.....
Unless you are willing to sell it trying to getting back money you spent.........that's another matter I don't feel to comment in, it's your life....
