Overloaded?
Haxisfan;
Re Nice video.
To state that this was an extreme overload can be defined in hard cold Engineering terms two ways:
(1)POOR WASHING: One could state that a machine is overloaded and thus the clothes were not washed as well as a lessor load. ie the machine is so full that even with water the articles never move with respect to another and or the clean and rinse is poor. ie one has a diaper with poop still in it and it stays in one place, and it makes the entire other articles nearby a toxic mess. Your video shows that the articles mixed and moved around, there was "free airspace when the stuff was being washed " and tumbling and random mixing occurred. A true overload from a bad wash standpoint means the wash was poor and one has to rewash everything.
(2)LIFE OF MACHINE IS RUINED: Once could state that an overload is so high that one effects the normal life of the ball bearings and motor. Ie the motor windings are cooking, the ball bearings have such a high load that one is degrading a normal washers life of 1000 to 5000 washes. Most bearings in washers die due to corrosion, the water seal fails and the bearing corrodes dud to exposure of water and soaps.
Since your stuff came out what you state as acceptable as clean, only item (2) is a possible "overload". The ladies my dad once had to help cleaning would consider you machine underloaded and add gobs of more items. Thus when I arrived home the machine had stuff fermenting and the wash load had to be rewashed in separate loads.
PassatDoc; I am in Harrison County, the middle of the three lower tier coastal counties. The biggest cities are Gulfport, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Long Beach, Pass Christian. The western county is Hancock with Bay St Louis, Waveland, Stennis Space Center, Kiln etc. The population has dropped in most cities due to Katrina's mess and sky high insurance costs. Thanks for helping out with rebuilding. It is still going on for many folks. It is really hard for an outsider to understand sometimes.
