Did I fry a circuit breaker?

My 10+ year old washer was making weird noises the other night and the lights in my crappy late 50's house were pulsing with the washer. It finished and the washer smelled like burnt wire. I bought a new one today and it works fine but now the lights are still making a slight pulsing when the washer was agitating. Obviously the breaker isn't tripped but might it be damaged? Is there another explanation? I don't want to have to do laundry only when the lights are off and I also don't want the old crappy house to burn down. At least not with me in it.
