The circuit breaker keeps tripping when I turn my washer on, nothing happens when its turned off
Chances are good the problem is the washer, since the vacuum worked fine in that outlet.  To be certain, plug the washer into another outlet and see if the washer trips the breaker in the new outlet.

You should have the washer checked and serviced.  Since it's showing problems severe enough to trip the circuit breaker it's not a job you should do yourself unless you are competent troubleshooting high voltage electric circuits.
