Does anyone know how to fix your washer from NOT tearing your clothes? My washer is putting tiny holes in my tee shirts and they get bigger! Then it is tearing my towels apart! I just pulled out a small cleaning towel and it shredded my towel. I have...

Is the washer still under warranty? I certainly would call Samsung out there. I have not noticed anything like that happening and our washer is going all the time. You coukd also call around to some local servicemen to ask if they have dealt with this problem before....perhaps there is a rough edge on one of those metal edges in the drum parts. Someone if you keep digging is going to be able to help you!

I have not had this problem. I have not done anything special to wash them, although my washer does have a "sheets" cycle. However, I have not had them for very long.

I have washed mine several times. I just throw it in the washing machine, and tumble dry it on the lowest heat setting. Couldn't be easier. Regular laundry detergent, no fabric softener. I wash and dry it with towels. I have had no difficulty with the fibers coming off on the towels, and no issue with lint from the towels on the duster. It comes out like new every time. With a replacement head available for under $10, I will continue to do this, and happily replace it, when it is finally worn out. It couldn't be any more user friendly or easier to clean.

I have 2 of these and when I washed them after a Boy Scout Camping trip, I took them to the local laundry mat to do the. My washer is a standard size and I wanted to use a super large capacity washer. After washing the one time, I didn't see any torn seams or loose stitching.

Be sure you put all the washers back in the right position. I remember when I did it I was careful to disassemble in logical order so I could duplicate during reassembly. Unfortunately I'm not sure I remember exactly. Maybe some trial and error with water will do the trick? Second, be sure there is no build up, chips or cracks in the area where the assembly attaches. Good luck.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.

Yes, I have taken mine off and thrown in the washer gentle cycle. One has already torn though, not from the washer but from use.

I've had this problem too. I think it might have more to do with your dryer. Are you leaving your clothes in the dryer for a long time before removing them?

I wash and dry mine at home...no problem. It came out looking like it did brand new. The only thing is... I would not wash in a top loading washer with the agitator...it would probably tear it, as it would any comforter! Mine did not shrink... I dried it on medium heat. I wash and dry mine and my children's all the time...never had a problem. We absolutely love them. My 10 year old grand daughter asked for one for Christmas instead of toys...that should tell ya something!

Sorry to hear about that, but I can't help you. I stopped having that problem ever since I used "laundry bags" for delicate garments.

It's probably buildup inside your washer, especially a front loader if you keep the door closed when not in use. There are several cleaners just for this purpose. Search for 'washing machine cleaner' on Amazon and you will see several products.

Mine is plastic. Never had one come apart but I wouldn't think it'd hurt the washer. If there's particles, probably good to remove them. I'd imagine it's just cleaner though. I'd check into getting it replaced.

We have the same issue. Have had them since April. Was thinking of throw it in the washing machine with some older towels inside out. Any thoughts?

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

You can wash it but use warm water (cold water will make it brittle). To keep the washer from getting unbalanced you can throw some towels in the cycle. Air dry or put the dryer on air dry (no heat).
