ARDO Washer damaging clothes
If your ARDO washer is damaging clothes, inspect the washing machine drum assembly first. A sharp edge, crack, or damaged interior surface can catch fabric during agitation or the spin cycle, causing a washer to tear clothes, leave marks on clothes, or create holes. Unplug the washer, then run a cloth around the inside of the drum. If it catches, replace the drum assembly. The inner tub is the next likely cause, especially if its surface is cracked or jagged. Also check the drum baffles for broken edges, followed by the agitator assembly and washplate for cracks, breaks, or rough areas. These parts can damage clothing while the washer is agitating or spinning. Finally, inspect the tub area for trapped screws, nails, or other objects caught in the tub, agitator, or baffles. Remove any object you find, and replace any damaged component. Whether you are troubleshooting an ARDO washer tearing clothes or a washing machine damaging clothes, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.
