What type of detergent should I use, and what if I have too many suds?

You should use high efficiency (HE) detergent to prevent oversudsing, and avoid using non-HE detergent. If excessive suds occur, reduce the detergent amount, especially for soft water, small loads, or lightly soiled laundry. Using the wrong type or too much detergent can also cause the load to remain wet at the end of a cycle. (Page 19)
