    Ok so what probably has happened is it’s overbalanced. What you can do is put it back in and put a large towel or 2 on the opposite side and spin again. When you wash pillows they recommend putting 2 in for this reason.

      I think it happened one other time when I washed something that was big and heavy and it was overbalanced.

      Do I just do the drain and spin cycle or is that too harsh for an oddie? If I put in the delicate cycle it’ll wash it again.

        Yes just the drain and spin. What’s happened is the item is too heavy for a gentle spin so a normal spin with dry towels on the opposite side will help.

          Oh my god. The oodie broke my washing machine. I just found out it won’t spin.

          I’m so screwed. I have no money to replace it. Fuck why does life hate me so badly.

          I can’t get it to spin and when I lift the hood it doesn’t stop or sense that I’ve opened the hood.

          :(

          I want to cry now

            Ok. Don’t panic. Turn it off at the switch. Take the items out. Give it a few minutes then test it out with a tea towel.

                  I think the spin and rinse cycle is broken.

                  I just a test on using a heavy cycle and it filled up with water and spun.

                  I’m going to do a complete cycle and see what happens.

                    What may have happened is you’ve put Mr oodie in on a gentle cycle when in fact Mr oldie is a big mf who holds a lot of water. Now the poor little machine you have is working overtime to move Mr oodie around plus its over balanced. Let the motor cool down then try a tea towel or something light so you can see the final outcome without having a shit load of sopping wet items. Sometimes machines just need to reset.

            Inside out is fine. When you get it out give it a good shake then hang up to dry. Shake it every now and again.
