It can often be very difficult to know how full your washing machine is.

Overloading the drum is just as harmful to the operation of this household appliance as underloading it.

There is one simple way that will help you understand whether your washing machine is loaded correctly.

Use this method, which will be relevant for absolutely any household appliance.

Take note

Place the dirty items in the washing machine drum and then try to squeeze your fist into them.

If the fist fits in without any obstacles, the household appliance is loaded enough. If it is almost impossible to push through, it is recommended to loosen the drum a little.

Important note: underloading the latter will cause the item to lose fibres and, as a result, become deformed.

Heavy loading will negatively affect the washing machine itself and its service life.
