Holes in washing?

My Zanussi washer/dryer WJD1257 is making holes in some items of clothing. I cannot find any sharp edges inside the drum or anything else that would cause this. Anyone know how to find the cause?

possible intermittent sharp edges - for example can be caused by under-wiring coming out of a bra, going through holes in drum lurking between the drum & its housing until you put your favourite jumper in so it can poke back through a hole to rip it up!! It may sometimes cause scuffing noise during cycle as it can also be rubbing on the outside of the drum or drum housing. - it will be like trying to catch a mouse! - you have to wait & hope it will be poking throgh when the drum stops then drag it out with pliers. - perhaps turning the drum by hand at a time it is rubbing may allow an end of it to line up with a hole so you canget a grip of it. alternatively it will perhaps be a major strip down.

Apologies if there is no one in the house washing bras!!
