Electrolux Washer damaging clothes
If your Electrolux washer is tearing clothes, inspect the inside of the inner drum assembly first. A damaged drum can have sharp edges that catch fabric during the agitation or spin cycle, causing a washing machine damaging clothes problem. Unplug the washer, then run a cloth carefully along the drum interior. If it catches, replace the drum assembly. Next, check the inner tub for cracks, breaks, or jagged edges, since a damaged tub can also cause a washer ripping clothes or washer leaving marks on clothes. Inspect the drum baffles, agitator assembly, and washplate for broken or sharp sections that could snag garments. Also look for screws, nails, or other objects stuck in the tub, agitator, or baffles, and remove anything you find. These parts can cause washer tearing clothes during either agitation or spinning. If the inspection shows damage, enter your model number to find the exact replacement drum, inner tub, baffle, agitator, or washplate for your specific Electrolux washing machine. Always disconnect power before inspecting or replacing internal parts.
