Laundry 101: Washing Machine
Capacity and Load Size Guide
B L O G | K E L L Y ' S D R Y C L E A N E R S
https://kellysdrycleaners.com/
One of the key factors in keeping your
laundry clean is to avoid overloading
your washer. Clothes need enough room
to swim in the water and detergent
solution during washing to completely
remove the odor and stains. It is therefore
very important to know your washing
machine capacity.
If you have lost your manual, which
usually has
the washing machine
capacity guide, you can just calculate it
manually.
How Do You Calculate a Washer’s
Tub Capacity?
Assuming that all measurements are in
feet, calculating your washing machine
capacity should be easy using this
formula:
Volume in cubic feet = (pi) (r²) (D)
Your values are:
pi = 3.14
r (radius) = diameter divided by 2
D (depth) = the height of the cylinder
To get the radius of the tub, measure from
the
center
to
the
outside wall.
Alternatively, you can also measure the
diameter and divide by 2.
To get the radius squared, you have to
multiply the radius by the radius.
Remember, this is not the same as
multiplying the radius by 2.
Different Types of Washers Have
Different Capacities
If you are planning to buy a new washer,
you have to remember that different
styles have different capacities.
Compact washers are normally 2.30 to
2.45 cubic feet, while standard and high
efficiency top-load washers may range
from 3.1 to 4 cubic feet.
If you need one with a larger capacity,
check the front loaders. They can range
from 4.2 to 4.5 cubic feet. Sometimes, they
can go as big as 5 cubic feet.
In the 1950’s and 60’s, manufacturers used
the term “load of laundry.” During that
time, the capacity of most washers was
approximately 8 pounds of clothes or
linens.
Then the machines got bigger, and most no
longer have the center agitator, which
increased
load
capacity.
Front-load
washers now rely on a tumbling stroke to
move clothes through the water and
detergent solution. Top load washers, on
the other hand, use a bottom paddle
agitator, creating more space for dirty
clothes.
How Do You Calculate Laundry Load
Size?
It is hard to manually calculate laundry
load size. Every washer comes with a
laundry
load
size
chart
for
recommendations. As a rule of thumb, 12
pounds of laundry is appropriate for a
standard top-load machine. A front-load
washer can accommodate as much as 15 to
18 pounds of clothing. An extra-large front
load machine can wash 20 to 22 pounds of
laundry in one cycle.
A large towel or medium blue jeans
weigh approximately 1.6 pounds
Your full-size bed sheet weighs 1.3
pounds
A medium sweatshirt is a little less
than 1 pound
An XL sized shirt is 0.5 pounds
Do you know how much dirty clothes
weigh? Here’s a quick guide:
Shorten the average lifespan of your
washer and dryer;
Leave clothes dirty because they
cannot flow properly in the water and
detergent solution, especially hard-to-
reach areas; or
Cause draining problems because too
many clothes are blocking
the
channel.
Overfilling issues may:
An imbalance during a spin cycle,
often because small loads tend to
congregate on just one side of the tub,
making it loud during the spinning;
Inability to spin when a load of
laundry is too small; or
High cost per load because of wasted
time, energy, and detergent.
Underfilling your tub may cause problems,
too, including:
Weighing your laundry is a good idea.
However, if you do not have a scale or the
time to do this, just estimate using the
guide above.
