They bang and dance even more! I can tell a story. When my yougest sister and her husband moved into Aunt Mac's house they had DD Whirlpool. One morning when they got up, he complained that he was running short of underwear so my sister said, "Why don't you put some in the washer, I need help with the laundry". Half an hour later she hears "Bang, Bang, Bang!", goes downstairs and finds that the machine is three feet out of hte corner. She did turn it off and called me. It was overloaded and OOB. Only the hoses kept it from walking away. Turns out his mother "picked up after all her boys" so no one in that family knew how to do laundry. | ||

It shouldn't be that complicated to do laundry I find that kind of story strange. You shouldn't really have any issue with a washing machine. Normally, I just throw clothes in. Pack the drum tight. As long as you can close the door it'll still do a good wash. | ||

Kenmore DD models still had OOB switches and buzzers for a few years after their full introduction on themarket. My 1986 LK did, although the buzzer was not nearly as obnoxious (aka wake the dead) as the BD buzzers were. I think the only time I ever had oob loads was when I was washing large throw rugs. Otherwise not, since I don't do mixed loads of towels and sheets, which has the highest probability of going oob in my nearly 46 years of laundry memories.

Our Whirlpool DD set usually bangs just a few times before it finally strightens itself out. Usually it does this with a small load of towels or a throw rug or two. It's actually quite forgiving about OOB loads. For normal loads it never happens. Only once has it turned off and a series of beeps came out of it to let us know what happened. | ||
