C'mon how many of us have orphaned socks?
So here I am in the middle of a conversation with my maintenance engineers when he explains the lost sock mystery to my coworkers and I. Okay my coworker has a washing machine that works, but will not drain trying to figure out if it's cheaper to fix or just go buy a new one.
The maintenance guy says that if you pack your laundry into the washing machine i.e. a very full load and the machine starts up the agitator (obviously front load washers need not apply) will cause the small things like socks to float up. What will then happen is as such small things like socks float to the top they get caught between the drum and the wall, and the offending sock can get caught up and dragged down into the gap. If it just so happens that the sock floats down to where the pump it will clog the pump.
Learn something new huh?
