Ran a load of 6 cargo-type shorts, 1 t-shirt, 6 underwear, 2 hand towels, and 5 pot holders in my Neptune TL. Overlooked some coins in a front pocket (no closure flap). They did not fall out of the pocket during the cycle. Heard them rattling when carrying the load to the dryer.

You should be ashamed of yourself for not checking every pocket my mother would say. Well, I am ashamed to say, I still find coins in my old Maytag after washing pants once in a while. Mother and grandmother would have been appalled and much more through and taken even all the pocket lint out first. I cant be bothered with being that picky.

Better to find that than an entire wallet, which I've done. | ||

 Glenn, thanks so much for the photos and info about your Neptune TL washer, very interesting! (BYW, how is your Calypso doing?) Re: picket debris. In the past "I thought" I was doing a good with checking pockets, but occasionally found a single coin (usually a dime or penny) in the washer or would hear it tumbling in the dryer. While I've never washer my cell phone or entire wallet, my worse offense was discovering tubes of lip balm (chapstick / blistex), either in the washer as I unloaded it, or worse, in the dryer once everything was dry. After going through 8 or 10 of them over the course of a year or so, I learned and trained myself to thoroughly check EVERY pocket before it goes into the washing machine. Kevin | ||
