When using a top loading washing machine..

Filling it up with clothes up to the brim (full load), is ok.... if the clothes are dry..

Sometimes i do pre-soak my white clothings with detergent and bleach .... before washing them in the machine..

The other day I loaded my pre-soaked clothes (quite heavy) with some dry ones to wash...

I put up to 3/4 loading only.... and it was overweight..

My washing machine spoilt 😭😭

The drum "dropped ".

I removed all the clothes...."pulled up the drum" ..

Tried to wash half of the load.... it worked... but spinning very weak....

I didn't bother to repair it.... afterall I've been using it for 15 years already.... it was a Fisher and Paykel.

Bought a new washing machine....
Front loading one. Bosch. 👍👍
It is so quiet.... love it..

Just like car, will spoil 1 day, those plastic and rubber band not last very long.
So far me faced are careless type lol, like coins suck on output causing water leak, the door using magnet field to detect door closing but bang of door causing it losing magnet, or the water load detector broken because of too electric solution instead of traditional solution lol.

Yes, the front load should be no need extra care about overweight/unbalance lol, but still, careless people still useless la.

Still waiting new type incoming, support detergent split into 3, have better cleaning solution because prevent reaction or oxidation.
But nah, 10 more years la. laugh.gif

Checked news, so far only support auto control on how many detergent should be put based on amount of clothes lol. tongue.gif

Long ago, I used a front loading one. Used to leave the door opened after use, to let it dry.
One day I found the door latch broken ... had to lift it up to close properly.

After that, I changed to top loading one. Now back to front loading lol.

Both types also ok to me, got pros and cons.

My new Bosch, has that I-DOS feature. Meaning it'll dispense the proper dosage of detergent to use. No worry of putting too much or too little.... not sure effective or not la.... but I think I can turn off that feature if not necessary.

Whatever machines also need to take care...I always empty all pants pockets, zipped up the pants, some clothes need to turn inside out before throwing them in the washing machine.

I also separate the colours... blacks in one load, whites to be washed another round, etc. All the bright orange and reds in another. Haha.
