Hell, just add a cap of fabric softener. Always does the trick, and it smells nice!!
The directions on the Kirkland box are probably written for modern front loaders, that are most likely twice the capacity of the Westinghouse. If you followed their dosing directions, maybe it was just too much detergent? It seems like an awful lot of an HE detergent....just a thought.

180rpm!?
Is that really the top spin speed of this machine? The clothes must still be dripping wet after that.

Oh honey, I have been called a winner before!
Yes, IIRC Bendix owned all the patents for the needed suspension systems (needed to spin faster without a bolt-down) at the time.
Greg do I win the prize? *LOL* Learning vicariously from all of you !

I like the Persil and the SA-8
Although the SA-8 was even a little too high suds even for my Miele. I have to run a full load with it. The stuff works good. I am not much of a Tide fan, at my Cosco they sell the Liquid Tide, and I am not at all tempted. I have heard from friends that it is good for fading clothes badly. I have used one less expensive alternative that works very well, and that is Faks detergent. It is not as good as Persil, it takes two scoops, does the job, and a 3 Kilo box is 12.95 at the European store on Hawthorne. I use it for the sheets and linnens from an Org that I wash for. The smell is quite nice, and there are no suds at all. I like that. Works great for the 190 washes. I would take it back to Cosco. That can't be good for the Berrings in your Gorgious from loader. I placed a link for the Faks if you were thinking about buying it. For the money, it is not bad stuff.

Just one word: Gosh! *jaws dropping* I can't believe how much that stuff has foamed!!! It took me a cup of dishwashing liquid to do that mess and it rinsed away as soon as the machine hit spin!!!
And only 180 rpm?!?!?! Wow! How long did it take to dry? I guess clothes were still dripping!

When I first got my Westinghouse space mates washer I was constantly over sudsing. Partially because everything had been washed in a top loader and there was residual soap that hadn't rinsed out completely. Plus, I had very soft water and at that time the only thing I would use was Tide or Oxydol. I can testify to how hard it is to get the suds out of one of these things once it's full...Thank god for that deep rinse!
