Inglis Washer damaging clothes
When your Inglis washer is damaging clothes, inspect the inside of the machine before running another load. A damaged drum assembly is the most likely cause of a washer tearing clothes during the agitation or spin cycle. Run a cloth slowly around the inner drum and look for sharp edges, cracks, or raised pieces that catch the fabric. If the drum is damaged, replace the drum assembly. A damaged inner tub can cause the same problem, so inspect the tub in the same way. Next, check the drum baffle for cracks, breaks, or jagged edges, then inspect the agitator assembly and washplate for damage that could snag or rip clothing. Screws, nails, and other objects stuck inside the tub area, agitator, or baffles can also cause a washing machine to damage clothes, so use a flashlight and remove any foreign objects you find. Replace any damaged component before using the washer again. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, baffle, agitator, or washplate for your specific Inglis washing machine.
