    Wife did that, either full of sheets or a large quilt which was way over the machines weight limit when wet. There was a loud banging noise and the
    machine destroyed itself. Completely off balance it bent the entire rear part of the drum which probably saved the kitchen units because the belt
    fell of the now wonky pulley.

    She now takes a lot more care in the weight of items when wet. It's easily done when some items can hold far more water than others.
