I will never again purchase a front loading washer. They have a nasty habit of sucking in socks and having them get jammed in the drain pump, thus leaving you with a washing machine full of water and unable to load. And the opposite, getting jammed in the end of the tube where the water goes into the washer, causing the water to pour out all over the floor instead of going into the washer.

Stay away!

Correction.

When the sock gets stuck in the drain pump you are unable to DRAIN the thing.

You have to unscrew that cap at the end of the drain pump to get the sock out. And guess what else comes out when you do that. The water!

My daughter bought one and one day it was making a horrible racket- was working but sounded like bearings going out or motor about to die. It is still under warranty so she shut it off and called for repair. The repairman said it sucked a baby sock into the pump and he swore he had never seen that before-sounds like it is not that unusual after all. Hmmmm.
