If your Crosley washer is tearing clothes, ripping clothes, or leaving marks on garments, inspect the tub area before running another load. The most likely cause is a damaged inner drum assembly. Run a cloth around the inside of the drum. If it catches on a sharp edge or protruding piece, replace the drum assembly. A damaged inner tub is another highly likely cause of a washing machine damaging clothes during the agitation or spin cycle, so check it the same way. Common causes include a cracked or jagged drum baffle, a broken agitator assembly, or a damaged washplate. Inspect each part for cracks, breaks, and sharp edges. Screws, nails, and other objects can also become trapped in the tub, agitator, or baffles and cause a washer to damage clothing. Use a flashlight to inspect the tub and remove any foreign objects, but replace any interior part that has been damaged. Enter your Crosley washer model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, baffle, agitator assembly, or washplate for your specific washing machine.
