Thanks, but this doesn't help.....I have socks all over the house, there's nothing in the way anymore, I did move some things, and there's a sock in the middle of the bathroom floor with nothing at all in the way of the trip to the washing machine, they pick it up, take half a step and run off to do something else, it's very strange!
Never mind! Seems the dryer was a bit off kilter and therefore caused a obstacle for the washing machine, thanks very much!!
