    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    @alr2903: I will go to HD today and buy some water hammer arrestors. They are "only" $11 each. It is a pretty loud noise which wouldn't bother anyone during the day, but it is sharing a wall with a bedroom. No detergent coupons came with the machine. @frigilux: Thanks for the videos

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    water hammering noise Thanks loggix for the video. That's exactly what's happening and that's the same washer I got. I thought I just have to close the valves a little where the washer inlet hoses are connected. I didn't realize they meant to reduce the water pressure for the whole house....

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Got my new washer! I did get my new washer. It arrived in time and was hooked up within minutes. I already washed a load and I'm happy with the result! The washer did create a lot of noise when it was filling with water. I read it's called water hammering noise and I need to adjust the water...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Today is the day for my new washer @zipdang: thanks for the tip @mark_wpduet: The normal cycle is basically all I ever used with my old machine - not that it had much more than that. I'm looking forward to figuring out the different options. My new washer should be here withing the next couple...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Danke Henrik for the information! The washer says it comes with a small load cycle that you can download with the app. I will do that, because sometimes I have a small load. But most of the time I will have a bigger load. I am just not so sure now how big of a load my dryer can handle.... Best...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    LG WM3370HWA @henene4: I will definitely wash the pants in the machine several times before I give up on them. Hopefully the stains will come out eventually. I bought an LG WM3370HWA. Looks like a newer model and doesn't have many reviews yet, hopefully I made the right choice. Will be...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    oil stains @foraloysius and alr2903: I have tried dishwashing liquid, pre wash stain treatment, spot remover, laundry detergent, vinegar, toothbrush and boiling water. The stains got lighter, but are still very visible :(

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Time for a new washer @askolover: thank you. We took the washer apart ourselves, after Sears said they charge $79 just to give us an estimate.... Found the bad bearing, but decided not to repair it. Figured it is already 11 years old and it may not even be worth the trouble but kept all the...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Doesn't sound good Looked at a video on you tube on how to replace the bearings on this washer and it looked like a big job and looked like the bearings don't come by themelves... I will call someone for an estimate tomorrow, but it looks like it won't be worth repairing it. Thank you so much!

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    very loud spin cycle The cycle went through as usual. When it was on the last spin cycle, it was very loud. Almost like a train going by. I let it spin for a couple minutes and then I shut off the washer. There are no stains, spots on the clothes. So I guess it must be the bearings?

    running another load I just gathered some old white towels and I'm running a load. see what happens. AquaCycle, Maybe it is oil and I guess it had to have happened only on the spin cycle or otherwise the oild would have gotten mixed with the water and stained the clothes all over...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    I will try I was thinking about trying to run it again. But I was a little hesitant, because I was afraid it might cause a fire. I was checking on the stained load often while it was washing, since my daughter's new blanket was in the washer and she could't wait for it to be done. The washer...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Thank you for your input The washer is a front load washer and it does not make a scraping sound of any kind. I was thinking that maybe the space between the drum and what is around the drum got really hot and scorched the laundry through the openings in the drum. But then I guess the whole...

    My washer left scorch marks on my clothes

    Help! I just took my laundry out of the washer and almost all the clothes have a pattern of burned spots where they touched the drum....any idea what could have caused that? Could the drum have gotten stuck for a short time and overheated? Should I try using the washer again or is it now a fire...

    GE Harmony Washer

    ge harmony I own this washer and dryer. The washer is horrible!! It is a great size but it does not wash clothes clean at all!!! Even towels smell and look dingy all the time. It knots clothes on the regular cycles and I have resorted to putting everything on the delicate cycle just so that...
