Industrial Washer Failure

washer use

If I were management, I'd observe what the users of the machines were doing. I'd stick my hand in the machine prior to starting it just to make sure that the towel load is no more than 3/4 up the window for maximum cleanliness along with the correct additives, fabric selections and temps. Just saying.

I'd rather risk getting fired

doing it properly than stuffing the machines to the brim to where they can't move. Now I understand why common sense gets blown out the water and out the window! Now to get off my soap box. Before I do, now I get why careless users treat these machines they do. They should know better than that.

thread revival

Please excuse me for the thread revival, but this trend still continues. If I had to risk my job just to do it the right way regardless of how long it takes, then so be it. If customers want things done properly, then I will do the best I can to do it properly while playing by the rules.

Domestic, commercial, and industrial washers are NOT meant to be overloaded PERIOD! They are only designed to take an X amount of laundry and if you exceed that limit then you will have bearing problems or will have things not coming out cleaned etc.

If I made laundry appliances and they got damaged from stupidity such as careless people and careless management, I wouldn’t even honor the warranty or simply would void the warranty all together. Heck, I wouldn’t even allow techs and personnel to touch a machine that was used improperly such as the one in this thread since the same repairs literally had to be made multiple times since management apparently doesn’t know how to use laundry appliances properly or know how things work for that matter.

Since I’ve been doing my own laundry since 2015 (2015 was the year when I got into vintage automatic washers), I never have overloaded any of the machines I’ve used and owned since things will not only get cleaned properly but puts more wear and tear on the machine as well. I’ve never had any issues with things not coming out cleaned in the 7 years I’ve been doing laundry. I usually tend to under-load the machine slightly just to be sure everything gets washed and rinsed properly.

the sad part

The sad part is that most people will not give a damn about how they load their machines. Most people will just stuff the machine and use cold water. I don't blame you. They just want bigger machines just so they can cram everything in. I always sort my laundry, no exceptions.

lazy people doing laundry

Unfortunately, most people are lazy when it comes to doing laundry. Nothing has seemed to change. They will still lazily stuff the machines and assume they'll (clothes) come clean. I have seen this firsthand still.

I sort too, but...

now I have to use more water, additives, detergent, and hot water to wash because even the two of the best top loads today only have half tub or full tub fill. There are times I just need a small load. It is the one reason I've kept the Magic Chef portable and will probably buy another portable when it no longer works.
