philiphenslowe Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've lost an underwire in my washing machine + it's started making holes in all my clothes.I've tried to find it sticking out of one of the holes in the drum, but I can't find it.Is there anything else I do? Or can anybody suggest somebody who can have a look at it who won't cost an arm & a leg (on maternity leave at the mo).Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33613-rogue-underwire-in-washing-machine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You might get a better response if your name was Philippa... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33613-rogue-underwire-in-washing-machine/#findComment-656968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquarius moon Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Have you not got a removeable filter somewhere at the bottom of the machine?If so, if you take it out, you may find it inside.

DJKillaQueen Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yes definitely try the filter first. If you remove the filter you might be able to flush it out as well.

Alec1 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 strangely I have this too. It's either one of my gf's wires although she denies losing one! or it is something else. Either way I am sure I can hear it and I now get holes in my t-shirts (not moths!)

aquarius moon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You should always put underwired bras inside a pillow case,tie a knot in it, then put it in the machine.That way, the wires won't escape.A plumber advised me to do this, after I had to call him out once & he found wires caught in the filter.

Annasfield Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Can anyone recommend a plumber/handyman to help with this problem?

uncleglen Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I was at the bar once and the barmaid had an underwire sticking up like an antenna! They are obviously a complete menace!
