How/where do I add OxiClean to my TOP-loading, HE washing machine?
Comments (38)Your Oxi product pictured is a powder, yes? As stated in responses above several years ago, the instruction is based on an assumption of liquid detergent and powder oxi ... which combined can form a chunky/goopy mixture that won't properly dissolve and flush out of the dispenser drawer or cup. Don't combine any liquids and powders together in a dispenser cup/reservoir that holds the dosage for the dispenser to be flushed with water. A frontloader detergent dispenser (and some toploaders with a drawer dispenser) typically has a reservoir cup or a dam piece that holds liquids from running out prematurely, until the incoming water flow overflows the compartment and flushes out the product, then (usually) a siphon tube drains the residual water. The cup or dam is removed for powders since they won't run out the back, the powder sits in the compartment until the water flow flushes it out (overflowing the cup or hold-back dam). A heavier goopy combination of liquid+powder sitting in the cup or blocked by the dam doesn't flush and/or dissolve readily. If you're using liquid detergent and powder oxi (or powder detergent and liquid oxi), then do not mix them together in your frontloader's dispenser. Liquid detergent and liquid oxi, or powder detergent and powder oxi (with the reservoir cup or hold-back dam removed) can be mixed together. If you're not sure, then follow the oxi directions and place liquid or powder detergent alone into the dispenser, and liquid or powder oxi directly into the drum....See MoreWhirlpool Top Loading Washing Machine MOLD
Comments (13)I don't know why the *snark* Dadoes was only being helpful. You would be surprised how many people wash a full load of moderate to heavy soils and only use 1 pod. Under dosing is a big factor in the cause of mold growth. I hope your not still washing clothes in this machine and spreading the mold spores to your clothes. As said in the laundry forum. You are going to have to tear it down to get the mold out or replace. There are people that can walk you step by step thru the cleaning process if you choose. Good Luck....See Moretop loading washing machine or front loading?
Comments (20)I have always had top loaders with agitators. Stayed away from FL because of the smell problem (and because the way the laundry room is set up, a FL wouldn't work). I now have a new GE HE toploader. I bought this particular model because they advertise "use all the water you want". I'm guessing they made that distinction because of all the complaints of not being able to use enough water. If I used the machine at HE defaults, I'm not sure I'd like it (haven't tried it) but I override the HE settings to "use all the water you want" and I'm extremely happy with the results. Does it take longer than a FL? I don't know since I've never had one but seems to take a shorter amt of time than the washer it replaced....See MoreTop vs Front Load Washing Machines
Comments (108)"Where’s the rest of you LG lovers????" I am happy with my LG - and it is a top-loader. I just am not interested in a front loading machine. I don't want to have to wipe out/clean a gasket or leave the door open. That's just my preference. I do NOT love having to clean the soap dispenser however. My old machine cleaned fine with me just pouring in the liquid. This machine came to me after my parents passed away this summer - my washer got fried in an electrical surge in December so I just took their old (only a couple of years old really) machines. I don't like bells and whistles on my washer and dryer, but since these were free that is what I wound up with....See Morebarjohng
