Detergent Low - Front Load Washer

Possible Solutions

Detergent Low Flashing

Detergent Low will flash on the display when more detergent is needed to be added to the bulk dispenser.  

Reminders when using the bulk dispenser

Do's

  • Use only high-efficiency (HE) liquid detergents. Regular detergent (non-HE) will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance.
  • Ensure the concentration level is adjusted to the correct setting.

Don'ts

  • Place single-dose laundry packets or powder detergent into the dispenser. Add single-dose laundry packets or powder detergent directly to the washer basket.
  • Use single-dose detergent and the bulk dispenser simultaneously, this can result in oversudsing and poor cleaning performance.

Are you using HE High-Efficiency detergent? 

Always use only HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent or more than the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent can cause excessive suds, which can lead to the washer leaking, draining concerns, and/or poor rinsing performance. 

Amana recommends using Swash® Laundry Detergent. It is designed to work in both high-efficiency (HE) and non-HE washing machines. With an 8x concentrated formula, you’ll use about a quarter of the detergent you’d need with a traditional 2x concentration detergent. It may look like a small amount, but you’ll be amazed at its effectiveness.
