thanks for the washing machine theme...
yes the bra label say: hand wash only ... and I thought machine wash is quicker and easier

ok here the story for a laugh to everybody:
yesterday I had a rough day.
besides my daughter getting into her "teenage modes" lately, and worse yesterday, I heared an irritating squeek-scratch-roll-squeek-bump-scratch metallic noise coming from downstairs.
washing machine. omg - that thing is broke... turned the programm a bit to make it finish faster before half the street asking what I am doing.
the next hour or longer I stayed downstairs in the cold to empty the water out of the german washing machine, of course it was going everywhere but not in the bucket.
after a warmup coffee break, I disconnected the water lines (breaking every single fingernail off) moved it out the corner, opened it from the back site and... found the metal round wire not round anymore of a bra stuck somewhere
yes it says on the bra label: handwash only.
I thought that was to keep the shape of the bra and every now or then getting lazy would not hurt it too much - I did not think that thing can kill a washing machine.
after another coffee break I put it back together ... more or less.
the test run with towels did work.
in future I will take the 5 minutes to hand wash those things rather to take all saturday to "fix" the washing machine by finding things don't belong in there.

... and I thought I need to find a man to fix (or pay for) all the machinery I destroy...

yes they make these cool little delicate bags you put you bra's and panties in so that they do not get damaged in the laundry. I am sure they are good about not letting the wire out of the bra as well. Sounds like you house is back to "normal" lol.
