Can a weighted blanket go in a washer-dryer because the drum is large?

No. Check the blanket's specific instructions, total dry weight and the appliance's permitted programme load. Filling materials and construction can impose additional restrictions.

Understanding this situation

A large drum opening does not establish capacity for a dense or unusually heavy textile. The drying allowance may be lower than the washing allowance, and a damaged compartment can release material during movement.

A useful next step

Do not use a continuous programme unless both manufacturers' guidance supports it. Avoid improvising a reduced load with part of the blanket hanging outside or compressed inside. Use an appropriate alternative cleaning method where suitability is uncertain.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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