My machine makes pin size holes in thin t-shirts and not other clothes. It has ruined several new shirts-help!

The thread is incorrect for material.
: or incorrect size needle or it is bent.
:Not threaded correctly.
Thread tangled around the spool holder.
: Thread too thick for needle or too thin.
Hope one of these helps.

Are you over loading the dryer? I know those combo machines can't dry a lot at once

try to change the soap and the washing cycle to delicate,good luck

i know this may sound crazy but are you sure there is nothing lodged in the drum like a bra bone as this does happen,just a thoght give it a try,rgds,paul.

Feel the drum inside for any sharp object example a pin that is sticking sideways in a hole or the the drum spot-weld spots that came lose making a high spot.
I did find the same kind of a problem with a Defy front Loader machine. You can also check the gap between the door and the drum lip.
Hope this will solve your problem and save yourself from spending big bucks on new clothes.

Front load greasy residue ,

Due usually to much detergent in each load, use smaller amounts.
To much detergent degrades the rubber seals and gaskets and rubber seal also in some front loaders around the door too!

Over the life of a front loading washer the seal/gasket degrades
largely due to the chemicals in the detergent as well as bleach.

Most gaskets/seals get hard and brittle therefore the over the life of a front loading washer
the seal/gasket degrades largely due to the chemicals in the detergent as well as bleach.

....please rate this ....thanks

We have the same problem. Look at the agitators inside the washer. We found strings and material there. Not sure what or if there is a fix bout I just saw the problem 2 days ago.

run a old hosiery or cotton wad (like from holloween) around the inside of the drum. see where it snags,
the drum is warranted for a very long time. (don't know exact)

once a month put 1/2 cup cascade dishwasher powder in it and 1/2 cup bleach right in the tub run some old rags wash tham thise should take care of the problem

Solution!
GE has replaced the "boot" (the large rubber gasket at the opening of the washer) on my washer. This has fixed the problem!

Although the majority of people I spoke with at GE did not know about this, eventually I got a repair technician out here who spoke with one of the engineers. The engineer said that there was a problem with the boot causing clothing to rip. The new boot we have on our washer covers a ring of plastic just on the outside of the metal drum (the plastic rim remains stationary while the metal drum spins - this is the cause of the ripped clothing) - the old boot left this plastic ring exposed. Our washer was only 8 months old - so even if your washer is new, if your clothing is being ripped, insist that the boot be replaced for an updated version.

Good luck!
