How much laundry can I put in my washing machine?

Last Update date : 2024-12-11

How much weight your washing machine can handle is based on its capacity. The maximum capacity of your washing machine will be displayed on the bottom right of the control panel. 7kg / 8kg / 9kg are the most popular models.

You should also make sure that you have selected the correct program for the load you have put in your machine. Refer to your manual to determine the correct load for each cycle for your machine and ensure that the total weight of a wet load does not exceed the maximum capacity for the machine.

You can weigh your laundry to get an exact value or estimate it. Bath towels are about 0.75 kg each, a full-size bed sheet is about 0.5 kg, and a large sweatshirt is about 0.5 kg. Make sure you're not packing the laundry down. The clothes should be in a very loose pile. If you have to push the laundry down to make room for more, you are overloading the washer.
