How much clothes is too much for a washer?
Even a large load of laundry should not fill the washer tub more than three-quarters full. For a front-load washing machine, pile clothes up high, but don’t cram them past the last row of holes at the front (the row closest to the door). For a conventional top-loader, don’t load clothes above the agitator.
What happens if you overfill a washing machine with clothes?
If you overload the washing machine, clothes won’t be free to move around and get clean, because they can’t be properly soaked in water and laundry detergent. In addition, when you overload your washing machine, the washer adds extra stress to the motor and the tub bearings and you could damage your appliance.
