How much should I fill my washing machine?
It's very tempting to pack your washing machine drum with as many laundry items as possible, but overloading your washing machine will not just severly reduce its washing performance, but it can also cause serious damage to your appliance. Listed below are the main reasons why overloading your washing machine is a bad idea.
Main reasons to avoid overloading of your washing machine
- Detergent will not be able to circulate effectively to remove dirt and stains
Overloading will cause the laundry to move around in one large mass, which means the clothing items will not move be able to move freely within the drum and the detergent will not be able to circulate effectively to remove dirt and stains.
- Washing machine and clothes could potentially be damaged
Overloading also increases the pressure within the drum, especially when it is spinning at a high velocity, which could potentially cause damage to the drum bearings and worse still cause the glass door to shatter. The clothes are forced up against the rubber door seal, and as the drum rotates it causes the clothes to rub up against it, which can lead to marks and even tears in the clothing.
- Note: Consider some warnings to avoid risks by placing laundry into the drum
Warning: Risk of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine. Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.
