What if the washing machine tears up the laundry?

However, sometimes a washing machine begins to tear linen, bringing its users trouble and loss. For example, in the fresh, just washed clothes suddenly show up holes or gusts. But why does the washing machine tear the laundry? The reasons for this may be several. Let's look at them in more detail.

Causes nuisance of an

washing machine Regardless of the type of unit and its manufacturer, the washing machine must handle the laundry carefully and carefully. And certainly should not spoil and tear it during the wash. If your washing machine starts to tear clothes, there is a reason for that. Let's look for her. The reasons why a washing machine tears laundry can be as follows:

• stuff loaded into the drum, rub against each other and tear, metal accessories - lightning, buttons, hooks, bones, and so on;
• internal surface of the drum machine has subtle damage - chips, cracks or burrs;
• things are torn due to the fact that the drum of the washer has shifted relative to its axis;
• selected wrong wash mode;
• laundry detergent is too aggressive and not suitable for the selected type of fabric;
• on machines with a vertical load on the inner surface of the hatch appeared sharp parts - chips, springs, teasers and more;
• factory scrap drum, manhole cover or other details.

In order to understand exactly what caused the trouble, you need to carefully inspect the washing machine. Of course, it is best if a specialist does that, but you can try to find the reason why the washing machine began to tear the laundry. So what to do?

Underwear tearing small solid objects

Before you begin to "sin" on a washing machine, you need to carefully examine the damaged items and analyze such facts:

• fabric quality;
• item life;
• compliance of the selected washing mode with the quality and composition of the material from which the thing is made.

Why is it so important? The fact is that sometimes a washing machine is not at all to blame for the fact that clothes are torn. If you have torn your favorite dress made of thin fabric that you wear for more than five years, this is not surprising. When spinning at high speeds, the old fabric could simply wipe on the drum or tear, tangling with other things.

The next reason a washing machine tears laundry is that hard objects get into the drum. Any twigs, pebbles, or nuts left in pockets can cause the favorite thing to end. The reason for the trouble can also be a buttoned zipper or a button, a bone that has come out of the bra, or a rivet falling off.

Another source of potential danger is the wrong mode of washing and spinning. Wash recommendations, placed on the label of almost every product, are there for good reason. They should take a closer look. If it says “hand wash only”, then putting the item in the washing machine will surely “kill” it.

The defect in the surface of the door or drum

If all the previous causes have nothing to do with you, the washing machine drum is probably the source of the trouble. Burrs and scuffs can appear on its surface, both during careless manufacture and during operation. Factory defects you find at the very first wash. If this happens - contact the service center immediately. They are obliged to help you for free. Drum damage is a guaranteed warranty.

If the problem appeared already in use, it means that you yourself have already damaged the drum. For example, metal bolts, nails or nuts can leave small, not visible to the eye chips or burrs on the inner surface of the washer. They are the reason why the machine began to spoil things.

What to do? How to find damage? Chips can be so microscopic that you cannot find them with your fingers. In order to detect burrs on the inside of the drum, take an old stocking or nylon pantyhose. Put the caprone on your hand as a mitten or roll the tights into a ball. And now carefully examine the insides of the washer - if there is a burr, nylon will surely “catch” it.

Also carefully examine the loading door, the cuff and the door of the washing machine. Chips may be there.

The fabric is torn due to bearing malfunction

If after washing you got out not just things touched by small holes from the machine, but obviously torn laundry, the cause might not be the drum itself, but the spoiled bearing. When washing the drum rotates on the shaft at a sufficiently high speed. However, sometimes things can break, because they fall into the gap between the tank and the drum. If this happens, you will get a tattered rag at the exit instead of your favorite dress or shirt. Why it happens?

The thing is that the drum and the shaft are not directly connected to each other, but by means of a bearing. It not only ensures the perfectly even and correct rotation of the drum, but also centers it about the axis. If the bearing has crumbled, the tank will begin to rotate with an offset, a runout will be observed. As a result of this shift, the gap between the edge of the tank and the drum increases. It is in this gap and gets linen and tears. In such a situation, keeping things intact is almost impossible.

Wrong mode of washing

Very often the reason for the deterioration of clothing becomes such a trivial thing as the wrong mode of washing. Instructions for use are written to be read and strictly followed. If your washing machine is tearing clothes, you are likely to spin too hard( more than 800 rpm).Or maybe choose an intensive mode for fabrics that require delicate handling.

Surprisingly, despite the warnings of manufacturers, many housewives think they know better. Although it sounds rather stupid, such a reason is highly relevant. So if you are in doubt about which mode to choose for washing, choose the most delicate one.

How to protect yourself from damage to laundry

At the end of the conversation I want to give a few recommendations to those who do not want a repetition of an unpleasant situation or still do not know why a washing machine is tearing linen.

• Before you put the item in the washing machine drum, carefully inspect all the seams and pockets, fasten buttons, zippers and rivets.
• If the garment has many metal parts, turn it inside out. This will allow the hooks and rivets to be less in contact with things nearby.
• If you are not sure about the strength and quality of the material, choose a delicate mode for washing and set the spin on the minimum number of revolutions. Of course, the clothes will dry a little longer, but there is a greater likelihood that it will not tear.
• After the end of the washing process, remove things from the machine and turn the drum a few times with your hand. This will make it clear if there are any small items left there. Also be sure to bend the cuff and look inside. There, too, could stuff all sorts of things.
• For washing especially delicate items, use special bags. Also use them to wash items that have sequins, rhinestones, beads, beads and other solid jewelry.
• Do not overload the machine. If there are too many things, there is not enough water to dissolve the whole powder. Fabrics sprinkled with powder rub against each other harder, which means that they tear more quickly.
• Check the quality of washing powder. It is likely that you are using too aggressive a means, it just corrodes the fabric. If so, change the powder.
