Top Load Washer - Tangled, Twisted, Knotted Clothes

Tangled, twisted or knotted clothes are usually the result of wash loads that were not properly sorted. Here are some tips to help prevent clothing from getting tangled, knotted or twisted in your Top Load Washer:

  • Avoid mixing heavier weight items with lighter weight items.

  • Avoid putting too many or too few items in the washer.

  • Make sure you set the proper water level for the load size you are doing. See our article about Top Load Washer - Water Level and Load Size.

  • Never wrap the clothes around the agitator. See our article about Top Load Washer - Proper Loading.
