Overloading your washing machine might seem like a time-saver in the short term, but it can lead to poor cleaning results and long-term damage to your appliance. So before you stuff that extra towel in and hope for the best, listen to laundry specialist Tyler Kungl's warning.
"Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of your washing machine," says Tyler. "Having an unbalanced load is one of the most common reasons your washing machine is not spinning. If the imbalance is too large, the spin cycle will not run or it'll reduce its speed to protect your appliance."
