We have in some our clothes (mostly T shirts and kids shirts) holes that are no more than 1/6th /1/8th inch diameter near the stomach/abdominal region of these garments. These holes seems to develop after two to three wash cycles. As many as four to five are observed and they grow with additional cycles. We use Kenmore H2 plus upright washer and HE 2 upright dryer. We think this si due to the dryer since we do not see these holes after we started to hung-dry these clothes. We use wash/dry cycles based on the type of garments. Any thoughts on this issue?
Are you over loading the dryer? I know those combo machines can't dry a lot at once

Thanks. I did not mean imply that these were combo units. These are separate units and have tried varying loads. The holes are observed only around the stomach/abdominal area (lower part of the clothes) and only in thin materials such as T-shirts and kids' shirts.
This exact problem happens to us also. We have an LG top loader. It is also starting to snag towels and I now they are developing holes. It is the pulsator cap in the middle of the bottom of the tub. It has tiny sharp edges so that when clothes are pulled over it during the washing and rinsing they are caught. It took me awhile to figure this out. I now put everything in Tide mesh bags, even sheets because they have tiny holes, too. I use the looser hole mesh bags don't help. I am working with LG now to take care of this situation and they seem very willing to get it taken care of.
