Frigidaire Washer damaging clothes
If your Frigidaire washer is damaging clothes, tearing fabric, or leaving holes and snags, stop the cycle and inspect the wash area before running another load. The most likely cause is a damaged washing machine drum assembly or inner tub. Run a cloth slowly around the inside surface of the drum and tub, including the perforations, to find sharp edges or broken areas that can catch clothing during agitation and spin. Next, inspect the drum baffles for cracks, breaks, or jagged edges. A damaged agitator assembly or washplate can also cause a washer to rip clothes, so check these parts for cracks, rough edges, or missing pieces. Finally, look for objects such as screws, nails, or other debris stuck in the tub, agitator, or baffles. Use a flashlight and remove any foreign objects, but replace any damaged component you find. Enter your Frigidaire washer model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, baffle, agitator assembly, or washplate for your specific washing machine.

If the interior of the inner drum assembly is damaged it can tear clothing during both the agitation and spin cycles. Run a cloth along the interior of the drum to determine if the cloth catches on any sharp pieces that may be sticking out. If this happens, the drum assembly should be replaced.
