Are you mixing multiple cleaners/detergents?

No, just standard high-efficiency pods.

They might be too corrosive for the pump if you’re getting the same results by using the same thing. I just had to replace the hosing on my washer. Heh, but I was using a wide array of “cleaning” chemicals. I would say the one with all the chemical warnings with the other one that dissolves things probably did that. I was trying to get all the mold out of my clothes from my previous job.

That is a reasonable supposition. If the boss allows me to keep it, I’ll try different detergent.

Keep in mind that detergent pods are often made of wood glue (PVA). I’ve had at least one plumber tell me not to use pods in my dishwasher because they eventually clog the pump. I wouldn’t be surprised if laundry pods would do the same to a clothes washer.

That sounds troublesome. Thank you for the info.
