But you can overload a front loader too
Once at a laundromat I saw an angry woman stuffing all of her family wash into a front loader, a small one that I don't remember the brand of. It was stuffed so full she had to push the door closed till it latched. You should have seen as the drum was going around, the clothes were edging against the door gasket, as if to say, "Get me out of here"! The machine squaked and strained so there probably was some damage. She was Sooooooo angry over something, I didn't dare tell her about sorting and loading laundry.

weight vs volume
My LG front-loader is "rated" for 7kg, about 15.4 US lbs. That means, I can put in a comforter big enough for a California Queen... bed ('bout 7kg) and it will still be washed perfectly well. But if I were stupid enough to load up 7kg of shirts, pants, etc. I would get exactly what I deserve - a flashing "overload" error. You ought to make your sister's hubby not only pay for the damage, but also do all the laundry (collecting, sorting, washing, drying, pressing, folding, putting away) for a few months by himself. He'll figure it out - or never go near your expensive machines again. | ||
