This may be a dumb question, but how much space is there between the outer and inner tub? Does stuff like hair and debris get stuck in there and then come back out on the clothes? And if so, what do you do about that?
@wonderingwoman If your model is a WTW4816FW2 that you have been asking about before then here’s the location of the lint filter in the machine. It doesn’t look too user friendly inasmuch as that it doesn’t seem easy to remove on a regular basis. However it still could get clogged up and therefore all the hairs. lint etc may stay lodged in the clothing or stay in the machine. It shouldn’t overflow the tub unless the water level is too high on the max level i.e. higher than it should be, and it splashes over during the wash/rinse cycle. If the filter needs replacing search online for WPW10215093 to find suppliers that suit you best. The supplier linked was only to show the location of the filter. Update (01/15/2023) Hi @wonderingwoman Can only suggest that you run the diagnostic tests as described in the tech sheet for the washer and check if they show if anything is wrong Torn washing is usually due to clothes catching in the tub during the wash or too fast a spin cycle
@wonderingwoman it can but it shouldn’t it all should get “flushed down the drain”. Now, you do want to make sure that you are cleaning your filter regularly and on some washers you will be surprised about the sludge and stench that may come out of it. So make sure you have a good drain pan and plenty of rags in case it spills ;-) At my house we use about a 1/3 cup of baking soda poured into the drum and 2 good cups of vinegar in the soap dispenser. Then we run a hot water wash cycle. That does seem to keep things relatively clean and gets rid of the typical washer smell. For more in depth information we would probably needing to know your exact washer model. Hope this helps.
