Nope itll ruin the washer!! And itll start to smoke....happened to me and i had to buy a brand new washer :(
You can, but you would have to use it very sparingly - perhaps 1/2 of normal amount. HE washers work best with HE detergent - conventional detergent sudses much too heavily.
It's not recommended because regular cleaning detergent creates more foam and bubbles and the HE detergents and can leave your clothing full of soap at the end of the cycle and can possibly damage your machine, not to mention make a big mess.
it does but i have only found it at wal mart
Rubber has a high co-efficient of friction.
Some of the benefits of a front loader washing machine include the fact that the they are manufactured to be high efficiency. High efficiency allows for the use of less energy and special detergent that allows for less to be used.
HE laundry detergent is formulated to produce fewer suds similar to automatic dish washer detergent. Supposedly, it is fine to use in a regular washer, and you would use the same quantity as you would in an HE machine (using the recommended amount of detergent as indicated on the product packaging).For more information, see related link below.Clarification:If you do use a HE (High Effenciency) laundry detergent in a regular washer (non high effenciency), you may need to use a bit more than you would in a HE washer, since regular washers use more water, therefore diluting the detergent/water ratio.What you cannot do, however, is use regular detergent in a HE washer.
I just did (in a real pinch) and it seems to be going just fine.
They don't suds up as much.You can use regular detergent in a HE washer, just use about a third to a half of what you normally use in a regular machine.Hope this helps!
Absolutely. You can use an HE detergent in a non HE washer without issue. For more information about HE laundry check out LaundryHE.com, which is powered by Wisk. -The LaundryHE.com Team

No, it will over sud and create a mess in the washer! Don't do it!
HE laundry detergents are High Efficiency detergents. They are designed to make fewer suds than regular detergents and to work in clothes washers that use less water. Regular laundry detergents create a higher amount of soap suds and need more water to rinse the detergent out of the clothes being washed. The cleaning power of the two types of laundry detergent is about the same. However, you need to use the proper detergent for the type of washer you are using so that the washer can clean the clothes to the best of its ability.
High efficiency (or "HE") detergent is designed to produce fewer suds (foam and bubbles) than regular detergent. So, yes, it is important to use HE detergent if you're using an HE washing machine! Using regular detergent in an HE machine would be like using regular dish washing detergent in an automatic dishwasher - imagine the foam! Using HE detergent in a regular machine, however, is just fine - only difference is that you would notice fewer suds.
The only type of detergent you should use in a HE washer is one that specifically states it's for HE washers on the label. Otherwise, you can end up with such a large excess of suds in the washer that it flows over the sides of the washer, not only making a mess, but possibly damaging the washer, as well.
In a word, No! It will suds too much and damage your water pump. Get the Woolite HE detergent made for your new washer.
It will tell you on the back of the bottle.
Laundry detergent is really a personal choice. However, a couple of things to consider.o There are both Liquid and Powder detergents. If the washer has a detergent cup (a place to put the detergent in a little drawer or holder) you should consult your owner's manual to determine which type it wants. But it probably wants a powder.o If you don't have a detergent cup (dispenser), you can use either.o If the washer is a High Efficiency or if it is a front-loader, you will want to use a High Efficiency, low suds detergent.My washer is a front-loader with a detergent, bleach, and softener cups. Since it also has a sensor to see how clean the clothes are, it's important that I use a low-suds, high-efficiency rated detergent in mine.
