I've just bought a new washer/dryer (being delivered today) and I've noticed that the maximum 'washing' weight is greater than the 'drying' weight. Does this mean that once washing becomes wet, it could be too heavy to dry? How can I make sure I don't overload the machine - as I think that's what happened with the old one?

Hey do you have a scale? Well weigh yourself first! Then with your laundry weigh yourself again, take away your weight and you have the weight of your laundry( dry or wet). Use less loads and wash heavier clothing together and lighter together!

If it is a matched set the dryer will handle the same amount of clothes.
Top load washers will handle a volume of clothes that fit loosely into their tub. This assumes that the clothes are of mixed sizes... several pairs of pants for example will wash better than a large comforter so reduce the volume if using bulky or heavy weight items....
As far as weighing, no need if you use the loose fill when dry amount, but if you want to weigh the clothes dry on a scale.
