“Does this model require a specific type of detergent? I am aware that some HE washing machines need the new HE washing detergent (looks like pills or small balls), and I was wondering if that is required for this model? I have filtered well water, but I just wanted to know if it is needed.”

• Thanks for the question. Samsung does recommend using HE detergent in the WA40J3000AW. However, HE detergents come in a variety of forms including the concentrated pods, which I believe is what you're referring to, as well as in the more conventional powder and detergent forms. If you do choose to use the pods, Samsung recommends adding them directly to the drum rather than in the detergent drawer, which should be used for powder or liquid HE detergent. - Ms. Samsung

• I use HE liquid and pods without issue. It it also is setup to take powder, you just remove the tray. It's recommended you use HE detergent but it doesn't require any special type (powder, pod, liquid).

• No it doesn't need any special detergent. As long as it's an "he" product it's fine.

• There is a mention at the slot for adding detergent, It reads " For best results use high efficiency detergent." However I have used ordinary detergent with fine results. I use city water.
