Babyt 4th Gear June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 When we are choosing a washing machine, we will see the machines indicated with their capacity such as for 7kg, 10kg etc. So how do I know if I have overloaded the machine w laundry? I have yet to see a machine that comes with indicator that I have overloaded it. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 It is based on wet weight. Pls dun mislead people, it is based on dry weight. You wouldn't wet your clothes and weigh it before dumping it into yr machine machine would you? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.. is it already available in the market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 Really? Always thought it is the dry weight. i think a towel soak with water already 10kg [laugh] if you watch the running man show few week ago, they throw the wet towel on KS, he fell down due to the weigh [laugh] 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear June 17, 2013 Author Share June 17, 2013 if i were to dump 1 curtain sheet into a machine, it can gets very heavy when wet. so how to gauge if a 7kg machine can handle how many sheets of curtains! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp 1st Gear June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 Weigh your clothes before throwing it into the washing machine.... Hahaha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 (edited) The ang mohs go by the average weight of a men's shirt which is approx. 200grams or less. Hence a 10kg capacity washing machine can wash like 50 men's shirt. This is just a guide. Sometimes I feel that ppl are obsessed with numbers. They need some kinda number to lead their lives otherwise they will be lost. Actually I go for big capacity washing machine anyway. Can wash more clothes at a time. Can wash bed sheet & quilt cover together and not separate them coz washing machine cannot accommodate. Edited June 17, 2013 by Watwheels 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the full load programme is selected, the water level nearly fills the whole tub and I believe there's more than 10L of water in the tub. So if wet weight, knn, I no need to put any clothes in???

I have yet to see a machine that comes with indicator that I have overloaded it. Weigh e clothes b4 u put in. After some time u wil b able to estimate e weight. Usually if its overloaded....when come spin cycle...yr machine wil vibrate quite a lot. U overload often....yr machine wil spoil faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
