I kinda overfoamed my top load pulsator washer
I have ALL laundry detergent in large jugs that i put into smaller ALL laundry detergent bottles
The bottles are small with a small cap for measuring
I measured in 2 caps into the full tub of water with a full scoop of OXYclean
I thought that i needed that since the towels i washed were soiled
boy I was wrong
The wash went fine just a little suds not very much
Drained fine too just a little soap in the laundry tub but that is normal
Then it started to spin out the wash water
sounded like it was bogging down but did not think much of it since my pulsator washers do this especially this one
pushed timer down lifted lid and saw soap and foam in the washer but not too much did not think anything of it
lowered lid and pulled timer out started but still sounded bogged down
Just before the rinse cycle it spit out soap and foam and water out on the floor from under the machine
i panicked because I thought did the machine bust a hose
rinse cycle started and there was soap in the tub so i added Downy a cap full the kind that is not concentrated
rinse drained spin better
second rinse was better spun out fine
second load of towels I put less ALL laundry detergent and less OXYclean
some soap but no spitting of soap and washer on the floor
More Downy
second load came out alright as well
so i know that I put too much soap and OXY in
But I am trying to figure out where the soap and water came from
the only thing I can think of is the inner tub spun the wash water soap laden towels into a froth in the outer tub and the outer tub overflowed out the overflow tube on the right side of the washer
I/m going to have to take the back off and see if i can find out where it came from
Man i feel stupid and foolish I am 59 and a half years old and doing laundry for 40 years or more and this does not happen in my other machines
phooey
