Clothes not getting wet in New Topload HE Washer

[cijay]

My flatmate washed her reds separate and would throw mine in to make a load. She had a lot of reds though. I would never get my few reds washed if I did a separate load.

You've never had a single red item turn every white article pink?

My new DIL just turned their "good" white pillowcases pink! I told her to save them for Valentines Day and they'll be perfect!

The only thing I have a problem with when I hang things to dry is jeans. They get stiff, everything else turns out fine. Nothing shrinks or fades when you wash in cold water and air dry.

Try some vinegar in the rinse cycle. I don't like fabric softener, but vinegar works great, and no, it doesn't smell.

I'm so ashamed.....I just realized it's a ZOMBIE thread!!!

OOOO A zombie thread.
10 out of 10 zombies surveyed said washing machines leave their clothes in tatters. But we think they were in tatters anyway.

Then I must have a true zombie washer.........aka Kenmore's 2013 washer!!!!

Same problem doesn't fill enough to agitate the close properly serviceman even said that it was not the way I was loading or adding soap it was just the machine.

I can’t understand why this is happening. It’s frustrating. It seems that most of the clothes at the bottom of the washer aren’t getting wet. So what’s happening to all the detergent I am supposed to put in first?? I’ve had this washer for 3-4 years. It’s an HE top load. I would have expected issues after 10 years but not 4

Yet another washing machine thread that makes me want to keep my old style top loader.

You are the smart one...we built new house, I decided to replace my (still working fine) 20 year old washer & dryer for one of these ones and I've regretted it every since. I'm actually getting rid of it and buying a new super-simple basic one. Dryer is ok but the washer has been nothing but a hassle since I got it....One error code after another, stops mid-cycle. I've also had loads that all the clothes didn't get wet as did the original poster.
