Overstuffing Washing Machines: Fire Risk & More

Safety experts warn of a common washing machine mistake that could lead to fires and damage. Overstuffing your machine, especially with large items like duvets, exceeds the appliances weight capacity, straining the motor and potentially causing overheating. Aim for filling the drum about three-quarters full for optimal cleaning and safety. Overloading can also result in clothes not getting clean, faster wear and tear, leaks, and mold growth. Always buy from reputable dealers and register your appliance for safety recalls. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
