I would imagine you might be overloading...if your clothes aren't turning over FREQUENTLY in the wash, then it's overloaded. Make sure the same clothes aren't always at the agitator. My SQ is very easy on clothes...even more so on the slow agitation cycles...never had a problem and I do 2-3 loads a week. You may want to check and see that they are getting enough water and may have to manually adjust. Your clothes should be turning over like they are in my video link...

Don't be surprised that it maybe your detergent causing the fuzzes. As for the towels, it is normal for some strings to become detach from the loop because of the agitation, especially new towels. I've seen it happened with my Kenmore DD. So you are not doing anything out of the ordinary. If you have a pair of Mantyhose (Toggle's I wear mine in white with control panels) check the agitator blades for rough surfaces, it should feel like 5:00 shadow if you know what I mean.... Then the agitator should be replaced! |

There is something else that people dont realize...many dont close zippers on pants or anything else with a zipper. That will leave little nicks on the vanes. Over time it gets worse and then towels will get pulled not matter how much time you limit the wash cycle. And that nail thing said volumes to me. Those rough spots are from zippers rubbing on the vanes as they move and flex. If you dont prep your wash properly BEFORE you load and start a cycle then you get what you get.

If this machine is like the older versions, the agitator should pull right up. |

"yeah it should pull up but its a bitch to get off. Sanding the vanes might help." You are sooooooo right! I forgot about that little minor detail. |

Could I just sand it in the tub? put in the minimum water with a very fine sand paper and polish it up? What grit of sand paper do I need to use, like 1500 wet sanding? |

2009 and does the tub really index? Is this a new SQ feature? Used to be if you had indexing it was a bad brake pad. Anyone? |
