similar lightweight items.

When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,
stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve spin performance.

During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an
imbalance inside the drum.
