Are drying balls a universal solution for bulky washer-dryer loads?

No. An accessory cannot make an oversized or incompatible load suitable. Use drying balls only where the appliance and textile instructions allow them.

Understanding this situation

A bulky item still needs space to move and a programme intended for its construction. Hard or inappropriate accessories can also introduce noise, so a new knocking sound should not be ignored merely because a product was advertised for dryers.

A useful next step

Check the permitted method for the particular bedding or garment. Remove unsupported accessories from future loads. If abnormal impacts or damage occur, stop use and describe the contents rather than repeatedly running a supposedly helpful accessory.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
