I can’t believe I’m searching youtube for washing machine instructions. I had to buy a new washer after my Kenmore of 38+ years finally died & can’t be repaired. I researched and researched for 3 solid days. I ended up with a Samsung top loader. I’m under no illusions this washer will have even half the lifespan as my Kenmore. Looking at the main board and reading the manual is proving to a frightening experience. There’s a whole lot of “Do Not”s in the manual. And OH MY WORD, it took 1.5 hrs to wash one comforter!!! I can tell I’m gonna miss my Kenmore even more than I actually thought I would. I did appreciate your video…thank you. It was helpful to see the manual directions in action.
I've never had a Kenmore but I do hope that your new washing machine lasts a very long time. I hope it gets easier to navigate through as you learn your new machine.
I'm here now , 13 yrs with my last washer ! I didn't use the new samsung for a week , afraid ! Reading the book and watching videos and I'm loving the washer now !! I hope it last a while .
Karla ohhhh my goodness! I spent the entire weekend washing all of our comforters. I normally would take them to the laundromat...for years I've been doing that. This worked so well..thanks so much for this video...I was so pleased. Everything came out so nice and fresh and I hung it on the line to dry. Thank you so much!
Seriously brings me so much joy that you wrote me back. ❤️ I was telling my husband what you said and he was so happy for me. 😍 it's the little things.
Apparently i cannot remember these easy steps 😂 so i guess im going to be reverting to your video EVERY time i need to wash my comforter...apparently once a month by the looks of my other comment 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤ from Texas
After throwijg my king comforter into an lg front loader, i got the dreaed UE error. Trying to fix it myself did nothing but when i searched and found your video, fixed it in a heartbeat! Its even harder with a heavy wet comforter 🤣
Thank you for this useful video! It worked for an LG front loader too. I’ve always just shoved it in and it never really rinsed fully. This is so much better!
This video is awesome!! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Just washed our queen comforter and mattress pad (separately) and this technique worked. No unbalanced wash! Yay!!
Yeah this works well in front loader too. Had an LG 7.5kg that we used to wash a king size mink blanket. The LG's manual had the diagram and way to fold large blankets, the same way that you showed in your video and it worked so well that my wife started washing all our large blankets until the last one that had a lot of fluff come off and clogged up the drainage filter, I had to empty it five times before the wash cycle finished.
That is so awesome, thanks for sharing your experience! I'm guessing the fluff was from the comforter itself. Maybe different washing instructions for that comforter. I've never had that issue, even when we had a front loader.
@@karlassweetlife Actually the fluff was the tassels on the edge of the old wool blanket. Luckily the blanket still looked good without the tassels but now, 7 years later the blanket has developed a hole and has just been stored in the blanket box.
Thanks! I was a little bummed when she said she didn’t know about the front loader. I’ve washed my duvet 5 times and it still doesn’t look clean. It’s sitting in the bathtub as we speak as I’ve been dreading washing it by hand bc I have back issues.
I’m testing it right now I also have a front load LG I used to always stuff my comforter in but I notice after the final rinse when it goes to do its final spin it will try but since it’s so unbalanced it throws an error code wish me luck
I just washed my queen sized comforter and the machine stopped on the rinse cycle. I threw it in the dryer soaking wet and decided that from now on, I would take it to the laundromat but now I don't have to! Thank you so much
And here I was thinking the very middle of the drum had to remain exposed…. Meaning the clothes has to go around it.. not blocking it. You learn something everyday. Thanks!! Definitely going to try this!
Im in the uk and i have a 10.5 tog duvet. I have a 9kg washing machine. It was o easy to put in, rather than just pushing it in. Had enough room on the top of the duvet to put pods in. Came out perfectly. Thanks for the tip x
Thanks for the great tip ! I have the same washer never thought to fold up a comforter because the washer is so big I usually just toss it in. Will try folded…thanks.
Thank you so much for this. I have a 8kg front loader and it worked perfectly! I always had the issue of an unbalanced machine, but it went so smoothly
Ok, I've been looking for a video that describes this process because we just bought one of these washers a few days ago. Your video has been the best I've seen. But, if it wasn't good enough just with the explanation, I gotta tell you, your son photo-bombing the video was absolutely priceless! 😂 I laughed so hard. Pure gold. Thanks for leaving that in.
@@karlassweetlife Oh he did. lol. And the video was helpful. I've read the manual several times but seeing it in the video made more sense to me. I'm going to try it tomorrow. :)
Right?! It's one thing to see a pencil drawing but to see it be demonstrate, it's like ' OH YEA!! I feel like that's what I would say 🤣 And yes let me know know it goes tomorrow! 😍
Just here to say THANK YOU! And, I have a front loader washer. This was awesome! I was nervous at first, but went for it! Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for this video! I just got my new Samsung top loader without the agitator. I thought what the manual was saying was crazy! How is it going wash all folded up? But seeing you actually do it helped me understand it so much better! Many thanks! Kathy from Montgomery NY
Went searching bcuz I just got a new washer and want to prolong it’s lifespan. I’ve already done a comforter wash and def heard it knocking around (unbalanced)…decided to take a look and def will try this method…I folded it like vertically and like wrapped it around the agitator…like a donut, but the agitator can be removed so again, ill def give this a try
Thank you Karla I'm going to try that this week it's time to wash mine home made comforter. Love your son has such a cute smile. 🤗💞God bless you and your family.
Going to give it a try, we have king size comforters and blankets. My washer is a front loader, I hope it works.🤞 I will let you know. Thank you for the tip.😊
Hi Karla it's Lindsey. I can't fold my comforter and put it in my washer because of the agitater. I have an older washer but it works great and I love it. Hope everyone is doing well and that you are having an easy (so far) pregnancy. Our middle daughter and son-in-law are coming home from Las Vegas to help when I have my surgery. So I have been trying to keep up with my housework. Stay safe and take care of yourself and your beautiful family. Much love my friend ❤ 💛 💙 💕
Hi Lindsey, yes I think the agitator works well for cleaning comforters. To be honest, it hasn't been easy but we're managing as best as we can. Having gestational diabetes is hard but I'm learning every day. That's so nice they are coming to help you, I'm so glad! Send you so much love Lindsey. 💜
I only have a portable spin washer and larger Panda spinner as well. Going to try this out with my bedding as well. Downloading the video too. I think this could work on other things that are too large.
I want to say thank you for this video which it helps me wash my comforter better and it does work well with the front loader washing machine too especially in the normal cycle setting since my washer doesn't have the cycle for bedding
Hello Karla. I want to ask about what is the proper capacity of the front loading washing machine to wash large and thick blankets? Hopefully my question is answered. Thank You
Thank you..I was going to take my queen and full comforters to the laundromat and what do you know this actually works. It says in place but I do wonder if the folded areas got clean without it unfolding. But this way will do 🙂
Thanks for the info on washing the comforter, BUT what if you have an agitator in the center of your washer?😟 How do I place it in the washer AFTER I do your suggested fold? 👌🏻Genius btw!
I think we have the same exact washer but mine has the agitator in it. Wonder if it would still work or if I could fold it like that and just try to sit it around the agitator? I’ll have to check my manual. Great video 💖
I have a king size comforter and have to stuff it in my front loading dryer. After over an hour of drying, I pull it out and I have a good sized patch that is not dry. Do I need to rearrange it and put it back in? That's what I've been doing, but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. I have the largest sized bin, by the way, according to Lowe's anyway!
Thank you. Mine always got unbalanced. I will try this to wash all the comforters since we have all recovered from covid and I need to wash several comforters today.
I have an older washing machine that has the thing in the middle of the washer I guess it's the spinner so how would you get the comforter around that? I don't feel like dragging all my comforters to the laundromat. It's called the agitator! Sorry. how do you do it with the agitator in the way. I hate my wahing machine but it's all I have right now. I do like yours. Someday maybe.
Well, today it goes down! I have a large enough washing machine top loader to be exact. And I am sick and tired of spending so much money at the laundromat, to eash my comforters. So I am hoping and praying that this is the thing that I need since I do own it a washer and dryer LOL
By the way works perfectly for front load washers too!!
Here I was about to take my comforter to the laundry mat and this worked perfectly! Thanks so much! What a life hack!
Awww yayyy good for you, saved some money too! 💖
Thank you!

That's so nice they are coming to help you, I'm so glad!

Just make it like a snake and wrap around the agitator but keep it tight to the wall and more space in the middle. Worked for me really well
Thanks a lot .I try it.. really work it.even we have small front washing machine ❤
I NEEDED THIS TRICK! ❤❤❤
Thanks Karla, I will definitely try this!
It will help fit a large comforter in your washer. ❣️

Can we put this in 6-5kg washing machine
Any need to soak and is there any special method to putting it in the dryer?
Hello!😁 Do you do the same for the dryer or do you just toss it in after it’s rinsed ?
You just toss it in the dryer :)
Great video 👍 Can you please tell me what size of your Samsung washer?
Let me check!
5.2 cubic feet, hope that helps!
What setting would you use if they don’t have bedding setting? I have a top load whirlpool new no agitator.
I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. If you have a 'bulky' setting, I'd try that.
@@karlassweetlife thank you! Do you have a video for couch pillows???
