This happened this morning.

Front load Maytag high capacity washing machine.

No metal in pockets, no belt buckles etc. Started the machine stepped away for a few minutes and a loud noise scared the dogs and it sounded like someone put rocks in the machine. This is what I found...

Lots of glass all over inside the machine, big pieces and lots of shards. It was just filling up with water so I have the dirty clothes in the dryer (ick) so that I am not leaving a river of water getting them out to the laundromat after work.

Thanks... the new machine is a beast as far as capacity goes. laugh out loud It's 5.2 cu ft and normally a king sized comforter takes up even a large capacity machine.. I think those are around 4.6 cu ft.??? I took the agitator out (really wish I could do that in more areas of life laugh out loud) and put in a KS comforter plus a KS sheet and still had lots of room. Once it had water in it the stuff barely took up half the machine tub. For that reason I like the new one so far.
How long did you have your old machine before it broke? I'm so wary of new electronics/machines these days. My portable AC broke after 5 years and when I went to get the newer version of the same brand and model, it arrived so much cheaper and smaller. Looked like a child's toy. Returned it and went with another brand.

Only had it for 6 years... I think that glass issue is going to grow.
