A:Answer The rule of thumb is that you should only fill a washing machine to 3/4 capacity so that it has room to agitate the load so you get an optimal wash otherwise it will not wash properly. The LG - 2.3 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle High-Efficiency Compact Front-Loading Washer, Model # WM1377HW might be able to hold about 6 towels but how many will depend on the bulk of the towels. Jeans, like towels, are also heavy, especially when they get wet and so again, maybe 6 pairs of jeans may be okay, bottom line is you can try starting with that and then use your discretion to adjust accordingly. 2.3 cubic feet will hold about 12 lbs of laundry, try weighing the towels and jeans on a weight scale to get an idea and just keep in mind that they will weigh a lot more when wet. You don't want to overload the machine to the extent that it's too much of a burden on the motor where it could burn itself out...^IFV
