| How many towels, or jeans do you think you can put in a front loader 4.3 I looked in the manual and it does not say how much to load. |

| Loading any washer is not a matter of a specific number of items, but rather is a matter of how much space the items take up. Frontloaders can typically be filled with dry clothes until there's about a (vertical) fist of space at top of the drum ... but that's, of course, NOT by packing the clothes down. Items will not clean and rinse well if they can't tumble/circulate properly, and overloading leads to wrinkling. Clothes that tend to wrinkle should be run in smaller loads, not maximum size. |

| Dadoes is correct, and too many pair of jeans in a dryer will increase the chances of them wrinkling. Make sure you pull them out as soon as they are done. I learned that the hard way and had to break out the iron! Towels will do fine, as least for me they do |

| Never mind the wrinkling, overloaded washer will not rinse properly. It will wash it but it will need extra rinses otherwise over time overloading the drum, your laundry will smell. |
