Add HE detergent to dispenser | Whirlpool WTW8100BW guide

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.

4. Add HE detergent to dispenser

Detergent dispenser

Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
