About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents.

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.
Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.
Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.
Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer.
Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack or detergent tablet in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select the EXTRA RINSE option.
