Programme capacity is generally specified for a defined dry load, not its saturated weight after washing. Planning before the first stage avoids an uncertain capacity calculation later.
Understanding this situation
The combined allowance may also differ by textile programme, and bulk can be limiting even below the weight figure. A wet towel's heavier reading does not identify how much dry laundry the programme was designed to accept.
A useful next step
Check the exact programme table and prepare a compatible load. If using wash-only capacity, plan to divide it safely before drying. Do not add wash and dry capacity figures together or pack items tightly to meet a guessed total.
