However, the transition from a traditional washing machine requires more than just plugging it into an outlet &#8211; some adjustments to your laundry habits are needed to ensure that you get the full benefits of your new appliance.\u00a0 Otherwise, you might find yourself with dingy clothes, nasty smells, or an overly noisy appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry! It\u2019s not as hard as it seems, and AppliancePartsPros.com is here to help you out. Keep reading, and learn how to love your new HE washing machine!<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is An HE Washing Machine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in a HE washer is an ideal way to save money and energy while still getting your clothes clean. Not only do they use less water, but they also require less energy to complete each cycle. An added bonus is that your clothes will come out much drier at the end of the cycle, making it easier for them to dry more quickly \u2013 further reducing both electricity or gas usage for drying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a better idea of just how an HE washer is different, let\u2019s compare it to a traditional agitator model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High Efficiency vs Traditional Washers<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HE washers forego an agitator and use a tumbling and spraying system to get your laundry clean. This is potentially easier on your clothing, reducing wear, tear, and stretching.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HE washers are generally significantly larger than their traditional counterparts, and can hold more laundry as a result. Used correctly, you can wash larger laundry loads than you could in a traditional washer.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional washers fill their drums nearly to the top with water at the start of a wash cycle. HE washers use between 20% and 66% of that amount, filling halfway at most. This results in a fairly significant savings on your water bill.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HE washers use much less energy than traditional washers \u2013 20% to 50% less. You\u2019ll likely notice those savings in your electrical bill!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most high efficiency models have extensive sensor systems that allow them to adapt the length of a cycle to account for soil levels, suds levels, and dampness. As a result, HE washers tend to take longer to finish a cycle, because they are spending time \u201cthinking.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they use less water, HE washers need to be cleaned fairly regularly. Many feature a maintenance cycle, which can be run without laundry to clean the interior.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type and amount of detergent you use is very important for effectively using an HE washer. Next up, we\u2019ll look into why that is, and set you up with some best practices.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HE Detergent Is Important! Here\u2019s Why\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably heard a lot about how using a high efficiency detergent with your HE washer is crucial, but do you know why? To put it simply, it has to do with water levels and suds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HE detergents do their jobs in low water environments. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional detergents, on the other hand, are designed to work best in large volumes of water, like the amounts used in traditional washers. An HE washer, by contrast, likely will not fill up more than halfway &#8212; they use 44% to 80% less water than a traditional washer does. Traditional detergents won&#8217;t work as well in that little water, failing to clean clothes adequately. To get clothes clean, you\u2019ll need an HE detergent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Suds aren\u2019t necessarily a good thing! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional detergents are usually high sudsing, meaning they produce a lot of bubbles. These bubbles don&#8217;t actually play a role in getting your clothes clean, and in HE washers, can actually cause a host of issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they clean via tumbling action rather than agitator, HE washers will automatically produce more soap suds from detergent than a traditional washer will, which in mild cases can lead to soapy residue left behind, and in severe instances, cause soap suds to pour out of your appliance.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the washer detects an excessive amount of soap suds, it will adjust the cycle to accommodate, resulting in a longer wash time and more water and energy used to clean your clothes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your washer may struggle to get the detergent out of your laundry, leaving itchy or sticky residue on clothes and linens.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothes may come out of the washer looking dingier or even dirty, because the rinse cycle could not wash out the remaining soap suds.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soap suds left in the drum will make the washer run and drain less efficiently, necessitating more cleaning.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bacteria and mold can grow in soapy deposits left behind when too much detergent or the wrong type of detergent is used, leading to musty odors and mildew growth.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soap suds can potentially corrode internal parts, leading to expensive repairs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With everything from pre-measured detergent pods to dry powdered detergent coming in affordable HE varieties these days, it just makes sense to swap to an HE option to maximize the efficiency and longevity of your HE washer. That isn\u2019t all there is to know about HE detergent. Here are a few more tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re buying, be sure to check the label!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want an HE detergent, not an \u201cHE Compatible\u201d detergent. \u201cHE Compatible\u201d sometimes appears on the label of traditional detergents, which are still formulated to work in high volumes of water and produce a lot of suds. You don\u2019t want to use these in your HE washer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the recommended amount of detergent and laundry additives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of detergent you\u2019ll need to use depends on the size of the laundry load being washed and how soiled it is, rather than the amount of water being used. <\/span><b>Consult the label for any detergents or additives, like bleach or fabric softener, you want to use before you add them to your washer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, you\u2019ll need less detergent for small loads or less dirty laundry. More detergent will be necessary for larger loads, more heavily soiled laundry, or if you have hard water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use pre-soaking products sparingly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-soaking products are generally intended for use with standard washers and are not made for high efficiency models. Check with your appliance manual before you use pre-soakers, and use them sparingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to add detergents and additives correctly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult your appliance\u2019s manual for instructions on where and when to add cleaning products to the washer.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some HE washers, you need to add the detergent into the bottom of the drum before you add anything else. For others, there are dispensers for each type of additive.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t combine wet and dry detergents in the same spot or dispenser, as this can cause clumping.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use fabric softener, make sure you are adding it to the appropriate dispenser. Adding it to the wrong dispenser means it will get added to the wash at the wrong time.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use a water softener, you\u2019ll probably need less. Be sure to consult packaging instructions on this one!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Your HE Washer Efficiently<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing what type of detergent to use and how to use it should eliminate the most common issues users experience with HE washers, but we\u2019ve still got a bit more advice to share with you before we\u2019re done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. HE washers need a regular cleaning schedule<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they use less water, HE washers aren\u2019t quite as adept at draining out soap scum at the end of a cycle. That build up can reduce efficiency, cause drain clogs, leave your clothes dirty, or lead to bacterial blooms and foul smells. To remedy this, your washer\u2019s tub will need to be cleaned regularly \u2013 some manufacturers recommend doing this once a week, and most suggest, at minimum, cleaning your HE washer monthly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, you shouldn\u2019t have to do much scrubbing. Make a habit of wiping out the tub of your washer after you\u2019ve moved the laundry to the dryer to prevent build up. For bigger weekly or monthly cleanings, most HE washers come with a maintenance cycle that will handle the bulk of the cleaning for you. Is your washer missing the maintenance cycle? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-deep-clean-a-washing-machine\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our guide to deep cleaning your washing machine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Three simple steps will ensure your washer dries out properly after a cycle<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our biggest complaints about HE washers is how quickly they start to smell bad. This is typically caused by a mildew or bacterial bloom that happens when water and soap scum are left behind after a wash. To prevent this, you want to make sure your washer dries properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a cycle has ended, promptly move the clothes to the dryer or a drying rack, wipe the drum out, and leave the door or lid open so that the interior can air dry. These steps are especially important for front-loading washers, which are more prone to becoming smelly. You\u2019ll want to pay special attention to the door gasket on these models. It easily traps water and soap scum, which creates a breeding ground for the sorts of things that make those mildewy smells.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. You still need to sort your laundry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothes should be sorted by fabric type and soil level to ensure all of your laundry is cleaned adequately. This also helps to prevent items tangling up together, a common problem in HE washers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dye leaching and color transfer are still potential concerns in HE washers, too, but sorting by color doesn\u2019t really need to be more complicated than separating your deep colors from your lights\/whites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want more sorting tips, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/seven-steps-to-master-your-laundry-day-a-complete-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have a look at our complete guide to laundry day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. How you load your washer matters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When loading your HE washer, if it\u2019s top-loading, be sure laundry is evenly dispersed around the wash plate, pushed to the sides. Don\u2019t let it all pile up in the center. This will help to keep the washer from going off balance while it\u2019s running, help to prevent clothes from tangling up, and should also ensure that detergent permeates all clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. HE washers don\u2019t sound the same as traditional washers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been using traditional washers your entire life, the sounds they make become pretty iconic. HE washers will sound a bit different, and many of those new or odd noises are completely normal:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spin cycle will likely be louder, because HE washing machines generally spin a lot faster than standard models. Other cycles shouldn\u2019t be too loud, though.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also notice more starts and stops during a cycle. That\u2019s likely the washer\u2019s onboard computer reading sensors and adjusting the cycle.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you hear a sloshing noise when the empty drum moves, that\u2019s the balance ring. It\u2019s a fluid-filled plastic ring attached to the top of the tub that helps to keep your washer from going off balance by off-setting weight. It\u2019s supposed to sound like that!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than that, HE washers share many of the same warning sounds as traditional washers. Clunking, screeching, grinding, and banging are all signs that something is off. Whether that\u2019s just an off-balance laundry load or a malfunctioning part will require a bit more investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re concerned about odd sounds coming from your washer, whether it\u2019s high efficiency or a standard model, we can probably help you out!
