Washing Machine Swallows Socks

[Curious]

OK the problem is, small items of clothing, ie childrens socks seem to manage to get behind the drum, I reckon they go through the gap between the door seal and the drum itself, is there a fix for this or do I just bin it and get a better one ?

They must be getting behind the door seal. If it's an old one maybe a new door seal will fix it. It's often advisable to put very small items into one of those specially designed bags. At least put the small stuff in first so there's less of a chance of them riding about at the front of the drum.
