About 6 of my towels have had a one-inch cut in the middle somewhere over the past few months. I don't know whether the cuts were caused by the washer (a Whirlpool Duet) or the dryer (GE Profile electric). Have anyone had the same problems? I have inspected inside the drum and did not see any damage.
An interesting observation - all the cuts are horizontal, never at an angle.
LOL threegardeners. Are the towels regularly hung up on a hook in your bathroom in the same spot? Could it be wearing through at that point and then tearing? That's odd!
Sometimes when the washer is not balanced, on the spin, (mostly due to not weight unbalance) clothing will be spun in such a way as to tear the cloth near the top of the tub. This is the reason the tear is the same each time. This will happen to light weight items quicker as they will float higher in the water if there is nothing heavy in the tub to keep them down. Keep small things in a washing bag.
