To properly fill a front load washer, load your clothes, close the door, and then select your desired wash cycle.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it effectively:
-
Load the Clothes: Place your laundry items directly into the drum of the washer. Avoid overfilling the drum. A good rule of thumb is to fill it loosely, leaving some space at the top. For smaller loads, consider adding a towel to help balance the load during the spin cycle.
-
Close the Door: Make sure the door is securely closed before starting the wash cycle.
-
Select Wash Cycle: Choose the appropriate wash cycle based on the type of clothes you are washing. Most front load washers have a variety of cycles to choose from, such as delicate, normal, heavy duty, and quick wash.
-
Add Detergent and Fabric Softener: Add the appropriate amount of detergent and fabric softener (if desired) to the dispensers. Refer to the washer's manual for the correct amount and placement of these products.
-
Start the Washer: Once everything is loaded and the cycle is selected, press the start button to begin the wash.
