I never had front loaders before, but now that I do, I'm noticing alot of laundry is ripped or shredded. I always thought that was an issue with top loaders because of the agitator.
What can be causing the front loader to tear holes?
I generally use the quick wash/normal cycles- is it too harsh? Do I need to only use delicate?
I know that it agitates pretty strongly even on a lower spin cycle-could that be it? (I have a maytag if that makes any difference.)

Yes I noticed that too. I started doing only medium or low spins and my stuff stopped tearing.
