If you wash belts or coins, the door glass might break
Removing belts from your trousers and jeans is HIGHLY mandatory. Even if the glass of the washing machine doors is toughened, a belt buckle spinning at no less than 1,600 rpm would undoubtedly break the glass in the door in an instant.
Even more, something very small such as a coin might end up blocking the filter or even causing a din when your machine spins. Once you’ve removed the belts from the laundry, you should also consider using a laundry bag for any of your clothes that have large metal buttons.
Plus, lowering the spin might help mitigate the already low risk of glass breaking.

TK Smith there is no miners at the bottom of the page and a arrow press the arrow and it will let you keep reading the story for washing
Where did they say that mixing colors & whites will ruin your washer? They didn’t say that did they? I only saw read about how mixing colors with whites can change the colors of your clothes (which is a given) -not damage your washer. I didn’t even see where they said it would damage your washer, so why would you sat that?
This was more of a laundry lesson. Many good points though, some about the machine and some about what is washed.
But that’s the title of the article.
Depends on a front loader or a top loader. I have a top loader and I have never found it to have to
be cleaned out. My top loader has a cycle to clean the machine. Like you all said. It seems the
manufacturer has some opinions that don’t fit the narrative that they are pointing out. One size doesn’t fit all.
Some of us are not rich enough to have a new washing machine. I am still using 1 from 1974 and it works just fine I don’t need all those fancy buttons and programs. This machine has never failed to get my laundry clean!
Amen, sister! Not everyone in this country is of the super-consumer class! 🙂
certainly fail to see how mixing white and colored laundry in the same load would in any way damage a clothes washing machine…..
as you point out, could turn the whites grey, but as for damaging the machine in some way—-makes no sense
