I assume this washer has a dual action agitator (the cork screw one)?
And your previous washer didn't have this agitator? The agitator seems
to be more rough on clothes than other agitators. Have you checked the
agitator for damage? If there is a rough or sharp edge, that could be
causing the damage too. You can use a nylon stocking for checking on
sharp edges. Just wipe the whole drum and agitator with the stocking.
Important indeed isn't to overload these machines. Does your washer
have a separate wash- and spinspeed selector? Perhaps you should try a
different setting with a more delicate setting for the wash action.
IIRC these machines have problems with mildew sometimes too. It's best
to keep the lid open between laundry days, especially if the lid has a
rubber seal on the inside.
