Making sure the drum is filled properly ensures people get the most economical use from there machine, but is also important for keeping the washing machine running properly. Its common knowledge that under-filling the drum wastes energy; it can also cause the weight of the cloths to accumulate on one side of the drum. This can make the load out of balance and create a violent banging noise during the spin. Overloading a washing can also cause a physical problems as well as affecting the efficiency of the wash. An overfilled drum can cause the washing to clump together, meaning the cloths wont move around as much and the detergent wont circulate properly. This results in the cloths not being washed properly. To get the best wash, fill the drum for economy, but ensure there is a space of around 3 to 4 inches between the top of the cloths and the top of the drum.
