jpcc 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 I read somewhere that Front load washing machine requires to use low sud washing powder due to the design of machine (drum, washing/ spinning mechanism). I believe we may be seeing the front load WM gaining popularity, however, there are still many mothers out there familiar with top load (my mum especially), and the washing powder brands they are familiar with are not low sud. Last Friday, my mum tried the normal (top load) washing method she honed many moons ago, i.e. pre-soak using high sud powder, wash , rinse a bit, wash a bit, then put it into front load WM (Brandt WFM 08771). As usual, it did not work well. There are too much lather and washing machine was confused. Anyway, long story short, we cleared out lather, and tried another washing with low sud powder on Sunday. (Clearing out some residual lather on Sunday washing). I read somewhere that long term usage of high sud powder may spoil the plastic closure, which we are cautiously aware now, and will not touch high sud powder/ front load WM with a ten foot pole. Any suggestion on the remedy, recovery path of front loading washing machine after this small hiccup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestion on the remedy, recovery path of front loading washing machine after this small hiccup? this will make your water bill go crazy, but i would suggest running your machine once with nothing in it, just water, this will ensure the machine gets a 'fresh' start..
