Just finished surgical removal of a
sock from my washing machine's impeller.

The fucker that invented those things (impellers) should be shot.

That is all.

1. They call it an agitator.
Do you feel agitated?

8. And there ya have it.
Form and function!

In Japan my BIL's washer/dryer combo just moves the tub in a reciprocating motion, and it does not have an agitator. He tells me that often the wash ends up in a big tangled ball.

However, they seem more relaxed about the wash. Hmmm.

5. If they make past the wicked agitator
and from the inner tub to the outer tub, then socks mysteriously make the grand destination of the water pump!

:woohoo:

That would be the time to call an appliance tech :)

12. Oh, then I guess I removed it from the water pump then
It was the little gizmo on top of the motor with hoses.

10. Buy a front loader. Saves water and makes your clothes last longer
Them agitators are bad. I once caught one fingering through my unmentionables.
