Strange Things Found in Dryers

It is common to find leftover clothes in dryers.
Sometimes other objects are left inside the drums or fall into the lint traps:
Coins
Pens
Bullets
Screws
Drill Bits
Fishing lures
and lots of other small objects are left behind.
Sometimes there are other things that make you wonder how did people not know they were in the dryer, and why they would leave them in there.
What are some strange things you have found in a dryer?
Here are some of my favorites:

This Joker toy is fun because of the look on his face

I'm glad I wasn't there when this dumbbell was in the dryer! It is dented. I hope it is from the dryer tub because the dryer tub was fine

Phones are kind of common for me to find, but not two phones and a condom together in the same dryer

A Fisher Price wooden person

A football was wrapped in sheets

A tennis racket in case and holder still baffles me. Good thing I have big dryers!

I thought at first a kid threw this skateboard inside a dryer because they were playing. Looking at the security footage there is no evidence of that. Just a bunch of bedding being thrown in. Looked like a sleeping bag

A calculator that works. I still use it!

F70 Errors on Maytag Washers Podcast

 There are lots of podcasts and blogs with good answers to common questions (including this blog!), one of the common errors I have seen on MHN30 and MHN33 Maytag washers is:
F70

If you've ever seen this error on your machines, you know it can be frustrating to fix.
On this episode of Maytag Talking Tech podcast they cover this exact problem and how to fix it.

Strange Objects Found in Washers

Money

Pens

Lighters

Lego pieces

All of these things are common items found inside washers when you clean them at the end of the day.

What are some of the more unusual items you have found inside a washer?

Here are some of mine. All of them were found inside a washer, usually wrapped inside some sort of clothing article:

A cast iron frying pan

A real metal front teeth grille

A plastic plate. I find a lot of kitchenware as you will see

A ceramic Lambeau Field roughly 5x7 inches

Another favorite, a wooden fork. I still don't know how they got this into a washer!

The screwdriver is slightly uncommon, however the rotating microwave rack is rare!

This is rare for two reasons: one it is a cassette tape, and two that someone still listens to Bill Cosby given his legal problems (for the record I used to be able to do most of his routines from memory) 

This is a small sample of the 300 wrapped condoms that were in one washer. They were wet as if they had gone through a wash cycle. Different brands. Different packages. Why? 

A Bubba Gump Shrimp glass that lights up. Later in life  I went to Universal Theme Park in Florida and saw where these come from

Dumbell

Dog or cat food dish

I think people put plastic dishes in washers just to clean them sometimes

A glass microwave tray. This was not found at the same time as the microwave rack above.

By coincidence my microwave plate had broken so it was fortuitous to get a new one! 

EKG Patches

Medical products. These were wet like someone washed them

One of many mugs

I kept this mug as I'm a survivor

Funny!

Goggles

I find lots of cutlery so lets stick a fork in this article as it is done!
