How full should you fill ur washing machine? completely? 3/4? 1/2?

Question

ive just completely stuffed my clothes washing machine full (dont usually stuff it this much) should i take something out and make it less full? or should i get all my laundry done in one go?

if full not good, is 3/4 full ok? thanks!

Answer 1

3/4, usually. Sometimes the machines come with a line telling you where to stop, so you may check to see.

Answer 2

Usually the manufacturers tell you not to fill the machine

higher than the top of the 'fins' that are on the agitator in the centre. If you fill it too full your clothes don't move around and they don't get cleaned properly.

Answer 3

i fill my washing machine up never over-filled it mine works better if full it stops the drum shakin like a nutter.

Answer 4

The manufacturers will state the poundage your            machine will take.generally 8 lbs small machine 12 lb larger.   If you overfill it, it will not clean your washing

properly, it will also knacker your engine, and the drum.

Answer 5

3 / 4 full is best to leave room for clothes to get washed correctly sometimes u will have to do it agin if its too full happy washing x

Answer 6

never over fill your wash load. it results in a very poor wash and you don't save as you will have to wash half of it again. over loading can eventually damage the machine in the long run
