Objects Inside Washing Machine Drum<\/h3>\n
Check to see if there are any sharp objects inside the drum that could be damaging the clothes inside.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we can put clothes into the washing machine, forgetting to check the pockets, consequently damaging items can get into the cycle. Anything which shouldn\u2019t be in there should be removed, as clothes may get caught onto them and become damaged.<\/p>\n
Washing Machine Drum Damage<\/h3>\n
Inside the drum of your washing machine there are several plastic pieces sticking out, known as drum paddles. Sometimes these can break off, revealing sharp metal hinges which the paddles connect to. Clothes can get caught onto these hinges, resulting in damaged items.<\/p>\n
This will usually require a drum repair or replacement.<\/p>\n
Water Overheating in Washing Machine<\/h3>\n
A faulty washing machine programmer may not be turning the heating element off when it\u2019s supposed to, causing the machine to overheat.<\/p>\n
Overheating can also be the result of a faulty thermostat, which may not be regulating the temperature of the heating element \u2013 this is the part which heats the water inside the washing machine drum. If this is the case, it will require the attention of an engineer.<\/p>\n
Now that we have a better idea of why our washing machines can be damaging our clothes, we can take some preventative measures to stop it in the future- whether it\u2019s being more careful of what we put inside the appliances, or seeking the help of a Glotech engineer.<\/p>\n
