Hi, DNCNBUG. Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
If you use one of these and see a “SUD” error code appear in
the display, consider using a different HE detergent. Always
follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of detergent to use. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
