Question

"The washer is designed to use only HE High Efficiency detergents"; Is stated on the front page of my manual and is further discussed on page 4. So, a direct answer to your question is: 1) No, the washer is not designed to use "regular detergent" --it is designed to use "High Efficiency" detergent. and 2) Users should look for detergent in a container marked "HE" or "High Efficiency". 3) The detergent does not need to be marked with the (GE) symbol. With all that said, I intend to use up the small amount of detergent I have on hand. Cheers

Answer

The user guide says to use only High Efficiency detergents with the HE marking on the container. Plus, with this washer, a little detergent makes a lot of suds (not sure if this is due to the agitator).

Not sure. Machine says it's high efficiency so I'm using high efficiency laundry soap. Not sure if regular soap would work as well.

Hi jumpdog123, we suggest using high efficiency detergent, this is represented on your detergent by a symbol usually near the bottom or top of the packaging.

“does the machine use normal detergent or does it require the special detergent with the (GE) symbol.”
