not only back then, but even in todays machines you will see clothing finding it way into the outter tub.....
some say it could be from the spin drain or overflow that causes an item to run over top...I have run into machine that this has happened to...but also seen it on a neutral drain machine..... sometimes I think it happens during loading, or especially during unloading, as clothes are pulled up and out of the machine, small items like socks can be rolled along the gathered load and under the splash shield.... I got in one machine that this happened to, and jammed the pump.....I ran load after load, worked perfect, gave it back to the customer, the next day, same thing...this happened 3 times, and you have to wonder, is it the machine, or the laundry practices of the user.... |

I use lingerie bags these days for washing and drying those elastic suspenders. Did those exist back then? Do you think that would've prevented those tiny socks from escaping? Thanks for your reply. |
