Wouldn't a busted hose inside the washer ruin the motor anyway, though? I will probably just get a new (or new-used) one. (Edit - I only paid $200 for the washer/dryer set, so paying labor costs to fix it is more than it's worth)
The space heater couldn't counter -20 degrees outside. It can marginally heat uninsulated spaces but not bring the temps up 50 degrees. I'm going to have to do something different next year. From googling, you can apparently "winterize" washers by running windshield wiper fluid or RV antifreeze through them. Something to keep in mind.
