Holes in tee shirts, etc. I determined that it is the lint cover of several Maytag dryers that I have had.
The holes on the front side of the lint vent are smooth but the underside is sharp. As the clothes are being dryed fabrics can get caught in the vent holes and this is why you see the same little holes right next to each other.
I have taken the vent cover off of my Maytag Bravos and lightly sanded down each underside edge with an electric nail buffer, a tool that nail salons use. I put many items in mesh laundry bags to help avoid this problem. Unfortunately, I still get holes every once in awhile.
I have had Maytag authorized repair people suggest that maybe I was overloading my washing machine.
Finally, one guy admitted that it wasn’t the holes in the washer but it was the dryer
vent.
To fix this issue all they have to do is make sure that the vent holes are smooth on both sides and change the design by making the holes smaller so things don’t have a chance to get caught.

I noticed that there were holes in my t-shirt from front to back. Not sure if it was the washer or dryer. It looked like a bite was taken out of it. I don't have a n agitator dash in my washer.

I am having the same problem with synthetic clothing they pull and it’s very annoying. You have to throw them out because you can’t war them anymore.

My Maytag model mhw5500w is making holes in our clothes that match the hole pattern in drum. We appliance care out four times -sanded rough places around holes and next week they will replace the drum . As people’s suggest slow speeds why do washer makers make them with such fast speeds if the fast speed is causing holes in our clothes. Our washer is one year today

We got a Maytag top loader several years ago from a friend. Just started tearing holes in shirts near the elbow. On inspection, there is a gap between the agitator blades and the base. I surmise that the sleeves are getting caught in one of these gaps on the spin cycle and torn when the agitator does its thing during the rinse cycle. Only happening on the sleeves of men’s shirts. Wish I could see a new agitator to check this out. Any one else have this problem?
