Hey friend, thank you for your inquiry!






I understand that your Frigidaire washer is leaving black hole marks in clothing. This could be caused by internal issue with your tub or something could be caught along your tub causing the holes. You may want to look inside of your tub for any visible issues that could cause holes in your tub. You can also use a suck or pair of panty hoses to see if there are any issues with the tub. Place the sock or hose on your hand and rub it along the inside of your tub this will let you know if clothing is getting snagged on anything. If you continue to have issues with your washer I would recommend contacting a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

Our tumble action front-loader washer just recently started leaving black marks in the pattern of the holes on the inside of the washer drum- We ran it twice without anything in the washer, and it still...

Thanks for stopping by:

This is from not enough HOT loads.

Fatty deposits gather between the basket and tub during COLD washes.

Then they are being released in large numbers when you do your whites on HOT.

It is recommended to do 1 HOT load per week.

Do an empty load with some de-greaser added (like Goo-Gone) on the fullest/hottest setting you have.

Thanks for using FixYa!!

It leaves holes and looks like black rubber on it

the black rubber is most likely fabric softener build up. The hose are the marks of the bowl perforations. Once this black 'stuff' builds up from the over use of fabric softener it could mean the end of the machine. The way to try and get rid of it is to wash an empty load in hot water with Epsom salts. This will loosen the black grease but be careful as some loads further on, large amounts could release and mark you clothes. If the bowls can be removed from the machine they could be scrubbed clean but this is a costly exercise. Tip from now on do not ever use fabric softener. end of story. Use low sudsing soap in your washer whether it be a top or front loader. www.thewashingmachineman.webs.com good luck

My washer leaves black marks on my clothes. I do not use fabric softners

Do you mean Black, really black marks? Perhaps dark brown.

Some marks comes from moldy seals, other marks comes from leaking gears from the machine. Examine the marks, check if those marks are oily or not.
