Underwire in a Washing Machine
July 18, 2012 | Laundry Appliance Repair, Help & Advice | 1 comment
It’s no secret that problems can arise if an underwire comes loose from its bra housing in the washing machine. If you’re lucky enough to find this still in the drum, good going. However, more often than not when these come out they make their way between the inner drum and outer tub. Now, this can go unnoticed for quite some time and can also inevitably cause serious damage to the washing machine – especially if you consider that a lot of washing machines now have plastic outer tubs. It can puncture a hole in the outer tub, scrape the drum, pierce the sump hose causing a leak, catch and tear other items of clothing, or even find its way to the pump and physically jam the pump impellor.
