I just purchased a new front loader for the first time. It is ripping my clothes! Any idea what I could be doing wrong??
I got a HE Front Loader about a month ago and I love it - no problems with ripping clothes?
They are supposed to be more gentle than the regular washers?
OMG, it is doing the same thing to mine. I bought some new shirts not long after I purchased the machine so I thought it was the clothes, but all of our shirts are getting little holes in them. I have tried everything, I absolutely hate my front loader and everybody else loves theirs but if I could get rid of it and get the old fashioned kind, I would in a heart beat.
That's what's happening here. I should have said holes rather than rips. I put in a set of sheets made of t-shirt material and they came out with little holes. Then I saw that one of my son's cotton bibs also had holes from a different load. I don't notice that my clothes look any cleaner than before I purchased this washer. I really want to love it but I don't and with all the electronic computerized gadgets I'm just waiting for the thing to break.
Who's the manufacturer? I just purchased a front loading washer/dryer combo!
I am so glad that someone is talking about this. I don't have a front loading washer but I noticed that I too have little holes in my shirts? I am hoping someone will reply that will be able to help us solve this mystery....
Do the holes match up with the little holes on the drum (size-wise?)? My new set is a Frigidaire and I haven't had this happen (yet??).
Maybe if you decrease the spin speed for cotton loads it will help? Those things spin so fast it could be sucking the softer fabrics into those little holes...
