How to Fill a Front Load Washer?

Published in Laundry Basics 2 mins read

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Close the Door: Make sure the door is securely closed before starting the wash cycle.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Start the Washer: Once everything is loaded and the cycle is selected, press the start button to begin the wash.
