Gaggenau Washer damaging clothes
If your Gaggenau washer is damaging clothes, stop using it until you inspect the tub area. A damaged washing machine drum assembly is the most likely cause of torn or ripped clothing. Run a cloth around the inside of the drum and inner tub; if it catches on a sharp edge, crack, or broken piece, replace the damaged assembly. A damaged Gaggenau washing machine inner tub can cause the same problem during agitation and spin. Next, inspect the drum baffles, agitator assembly, and washplate for cracks, breaks, or jagged edges, since any of these parts can snag fabric and leave marks on clothes. Also check for screws, nails, or other objects stuck inside the tub, agitator, or baffles, and remove anything you find. These checks can help identify why your washer is tearing clothes or why your washing machine is damaging clothes during a cycle. If an interior component is damaged, replace it before running another load. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, drum baffle, agitator, or washplate for your specific Gaggenau washing machine.
