My Mom's front loader sprays water in while spinning ...that may also be a problem with yours. I sympathize, I recently bought a new machine (top load) which will not allow me to put ONLY hot water in to soak fleece. The silly machine will not operate if I turn off the "cold" fawcet, and when I tell it to wash on hot, it mixes in cold. I can use it to spin, but I have to turn off the water to the machine first. I wish my laundry room was bigger, I'd buy an old used top loader just for fleece. What brand of machine did you get? Mine's a Fisher/Paykel. It's great for laundry, but I'm back to my old methods for fleece.
