Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the
type and amount of detergent used. High-Efficiency de-
tergent is the only detergent recommended. Make sure
that detergent and any additives are put into the correct
dispenser compartments. The normal amount of deter-
gent to use is 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum amount recom-
mended by the detergent manufacturer. Always reduce
the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly
soiled, or if your water is very soft. Never use more than
the maximum amount recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.
