Take the flow restrictors out of the water inlets. They are behind the filter screens of the inlet hoses. | ||

Tide *ultra* Stain Release is just that; a concentrated detergent. While Pureclean not so much, nor is it really intended for very badly stained laundry as it lacks the "oomph" of the more powerful and concentrated versions.
Basically your choices are limited if having issues with liquid detergents not dispensing properly. Either go with in tub dosing devices (my favourite solution), or find a liquid that will consistently properly dose with your machine. Truth to tell thick liquid detergents are not that much different than that other liquid product used on wash day; fabric softeners. Both when concentrated enough can present issues in dosing and leave residue/traces. Commercial Speed Queen washers a local laundromat send hot water into the FS dispenser (to dilute product), while also sending cold via other chambers. Even with this if too much or thick product is used there is a residue. Know this from having to cope with washing reeking of Suavitel, Snuggle, and or other thick messes of FS used in previous load. Got wise to myself and now inspect dispenser before loading..... Indeed standard advice for fabric softeners that didn't dispense properly for years was to dilute with hot water, then pour into washer and or down dispenser. If am being honest it is probably best to simply use a dosing device and leave off using dispenser for most if not all liquid detergents. Say this because the inevitable residue from that or FS tends to foul detergent dispensers with crud, mold and God only knows what unless cleaned regularly. | ||

yes - the blue trays are removable for when you have to use powder detergent. | ||

Rich, are you sure the rinse water flow is going through the main wash dispenser ?
Some washers use the prewash or bleach compartment for all but the last rinse. If this is the case I wouldn`t worry about detergent residue getting released during the rinses. Well, on the other hand as it has been pointed out correctly you never know what is sitting in the pipe between the dispenser and drum. You could also try to mix the detergent with a small amount of rubbing alcohol to lower its viscosity or in other words make it more runny. This would be one of several solvent options used by the detergent industry for viscosity control when they want to offer a very concentrated yet watery product. As little as a few drops of rubbing alcohol per tablespoon of detergent might be enough. This post was last edited 02/08/2018 at 08:13 | ||

Hi Rich,
adding the liquid direct into the drum would be an option, but in this case I would pour it on to the clothes and not into the empty drum. Adding the detergent into the empty drum would not be a good idea for two reasons in my opinion. If it is very viscous the detergent would stick on the bottom of the tube the same way as in the dispenser resulting in poor dissolving and probably in being there also during the rinse portion of the cycle causing a bad washing and rinsing. The second reason is if in the case you pour the detergent into the drum right in the spot where below is the drain hole in the tube you're literally throwing it away. I would rather use a in-wash dosing ball as Rolls_rapide already said. One similar to those we are using here in Europe or just pour it on to the clothes.

No sudz issues here
I have a brand new LG washer and dryer. I use All with Oxi. I have never had an issue
with the detergent dispensing, of rinsing clean. my rinse water is absolutely clear, and my clothes come out perfect. it seems to me, in general tide is not great in front loading machines. it seems to problematic. There are many detergents that rate well, such as Persil, and others that would work as well. How many discussions have we had on the negatives of Tide. Probably better used in Top loading machines, Just my opinion. David | ||
