Don't you dare get yourself banned. LOL.

I suppose you've already tried folding the sheet in half and placing one on each side of agitator without wrapping it around the agitator. ..( ripping my lips off to even suggest you haven't tried this) I have nothing Pat...some machines do this some don't. Its a real pain.

Hope you and yours are all well.

both sides of agitator yes, but never folded in half. i love you.

Yes! Isn't that really irritating! Similar happens in the dryer sometimes -- they don't knot, but they get all twisted then some parts are dry and some still wet.

Pat I washed sheets yesterday and I always put them in while the washer is filling but some reason I waited till it had filled and was agitating. I think for the first time, they weren't twisted. And when I looked in while they were washing there was no blooming of the fitted sheet. I always had that happen. Maybe give that a try.

It's most devious trick is the white sock in the corner. And it will be damp. :-(

Try loosely rolling each sheet in a ball and placing on opposite sides of the agitator. That's the way Frigidaire recommended doing it to help prevent them from twisting into knots years ago with the jet action machines.
