Front loaders

This cycle shows a sufficient level of suds. There is also the right amount of items in the machine to provide friction, without the machine being overloaded.
As the cycle continues, the laundry in the machine will compress, and suds will increase with agitation over time.

Check for suds one-third (1/3) of the way through the wash phase of the wash cycle. Add more detergent until you see sufficient suds in the wash phase.

There isn’t enough in the machine to provide sufficient friction to remove soiling. As the cycle continues, the laundry in the machine will further compress, and suds will further increase with agitation over time.
There is too much in the machine, there is not enough space for the items to move around to create sufficient friction for soiling removal.
There are items that are getting pushed into the door seal and get periodically stuck, that is a sign there is too much in the machine. The items in the center are not making their way out, they remain in the center.

This video shows what a good ‘stew’ consistency looks like and how to test your loading to make sure you have great agitation every time you wash.
