  • I think it happened one other time when I washed something that was big and heavy and it was overbalanced.

    Do I just do the drain and spin cycle or is that too harsh for an oddie? If I put in the delicate cycle it’ll wash it again.

    • Yes just the drain and spin. What's happened is the item is too heavy for a gentle spin so a normal spin with dry towels on the opposite side will help.

      • Ok. One last question. Put it in normal or inside out?

        • Inside out is fine. When you get it out give it a good shake then hang up to dry. Shake it every now and again.

      • Oh my god. The oodie broke my washing machine. I just found out it won’t spin.

        I’m so screwed. I have no money to replace it. Fuck why does life hate me so badly.

        I can’t get it to spin and when I lift the hood it doesn’t stop or sense that I’ve opened the hood.

        :(

        I want to cry now

        • Ok. Don't panic. Turn it off at the switch. Take the items out. Give it a few minutes then test it out with a tea towel.

          • Trying not to.

            I’ll do that and get back to you.

            • Ok

              • I think the spin and rinse cycle is broken.

                I just a test on using a heavy cycle and it filled up with water and spun.

                I’m going to do a complete cycle and see what happens.

                • What may have happened is you've put Mr oodie in on a gentle cycle when in fact Mr oldie is a big mf who holds a lot of water. Now the poor little machine you have is working overtime to move Mr oodie around plus its over balanced. Let the motor cool down then try a tea towel or something light so you can see the final outcome without having a shit load of sopping wet items. Sometimes machines just need to reset.

                  • I’ve got one light item in running at the moment. The first part of the cycle worked.

                    The 2nd part of the cycle where it spins the water out doesn’t work at all.

                    :(
