HE (High Efciency) Detergent and How
Your Washer Functions with Over Suds Conditions
Your washer is a high efciency front loading washer. It was specically designed to use less
water than top loading washers while achieving very high quality laundering results. However,
highly efcient front loading washers with laboratory veried water levels can still experience over
sudsing if regular detergent (liquid or powder) is used, especially if too much detergent is used.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND using low sudsing detergent that is clearly marked “HE” and that
no more than 1/3 cup be used for a full load.
Bubbles and white suds do NOT clean clothes; in fact, excess suds are difcult to fully rinse away
and may remain in clothes at the end of the wash cycle. Detergent that is not rinsed away can
irritate skin and cause changes to clothing color when heated in a dryer.
Laundrylux has implemented a proprietary software algorithm in this washer to help distinguish
between over suds and clogged pump strainer basket conditions. Generally, this washer
will complete a wash cycle even if a moderate over sudsing or out-of-balance condition is
experienced. Excessive over sudsing, a clogged pump strainer basket (due to accumulated lint
and debris), or an extremely out-of-balance load are conditions which may cause a wash cycle to
not nish and an error code to be displayed.
If the wash cycle does not complete or you see an error code, the software is performing
properly to protect the washer from abnormal operating conditions. If necessary, from the lower
left front of the washer carefully remove the pump strainer basket to clean it out according to the
instructions in this manual. Please be careful to wait for any hot water in the drum to cool to a
safe temperature before removing the strainer since some water will be released.
If you have any questions about operating your washer, please contact your Authorized
Distributor or Laundrylux. We want you to enjoy your experience with this ne product and to
have the maximum benet from your purchase.
