Washing Machine - Sorry!

My washer ball bearings have gone (again, third time) apparently I'm REALLY rubbish at working out just how much 5kg is...
Now - I have 2 choices. I can either have them repaired (again) or use some of my savings to buy a bigger / new washer. Either way I know I have to stop over loading it.
One thing to consider is - I've moved house, the kitchen was "fitted" by a friend, who measured up. The dishwasher and washer were meant to go next to each other... my friend measure 1cm out and now the dishwasher wont fit. If I buy a smaller shaped washer (my 5kg is quite bulky) I may be able to have my dishwasher back.
What would you do?? Buy new or mend?

Already is a slim line lol
I think its probably less than 1cm out (I'm going to measure later - its there abouts) - My washer "top" section was "bobbly" and stuck out more than the machine which is why the dishwasher wont go in.
This is the old washer
I think if I get a "straight" one theres a chance the dishwasher might fit0 -
Measure across the top of your washer - as stated earlier if it is 600mm wide it is standard size, regardless of the design.0

I don't quite understand what you meant by stuck out more and don't work??
Do you mean you need washing machine less deep?0
