Yes. Use wax like from a candle on the drive belt. Don’t hurt yourself.

There are a dozen things that could be wrong. The most likely cause, however, is that the belt is old. A belt hardens with age it then tends to slip a little while running which creates friction and therefore heat which accelerates the aging process of the rubber and the squeaking turns into squealing which indicates more friction and more heat and soon the belt breaks. If that is the problem and the belt is not yet too hard/brittle, it is possible to stop the noise by tightening the belt which is done by loosening the bolt that holds the pulley in place and moving the pulley a little bit (not too much) to put a little more tension on the belt and then retightening the pulley holddown bolt. Replacing the belt yourself is not terribly difficult but you have to know how or be mechanically inclined. Squeaking can also be caused if the metal pulley itself has lost lubrication in which case you can add a drop of motor oil or similar lubricant to the center of the pulley (NOT to the belt or anywhere near the belt). It could also be a motor bearing which means the motor would have to be replaced since small motors like those are typically not meant to be relubricated. PS, do NOT apply WD-40 or any lubricant to the belt. That will make the belt slip and you’ll get rid of the noise, but the dryer will not work!

It’s hard to say. They usually have a HE on the front label. All HE means is that it doesn’t suds so much which could be solved by just using less detergent (they recommend too much anyway) . What you could do is go to your local supermarket, write down the brands and their manufacturers of the detergents that you like the quality of and look up their website to see if they have any HE versions of their detergent.

There are some High Efficiency detergents. Some don’t come in all the great detergent scents. There is tide w/ febreze, gain original, tide, tide clean breeze, tide w/ downy, tide w/ dawn scrubbers, wisk, era, purex, all, and some more I can’t think of. Gain smells so good and same with tide w/ febreze !

“HE” Is not a brand but a type of detergent…Look for a blue circle on the box with “HE in it and a swoosh around it like the nike or kenmore swoosh..
Sears carries ONLY “HE” detergent now, VERY highly concentrated..

Your question doesn’t quite make sense to me, but let me try. Front loaders need a TYPE of detergent that is called highly efficient (HE). That’s not a brand name.

Almost all laundry detergent brands now make HE (Tide, All, Cheer, Gain, etc.), and they are liquids. They are concentrated, specially made not to create too many suds, and rinse out easier in the smaller amount of water a front loader uses. Look for the HE symbol on the bottle; it’s a blue oval with the letters h and e. There’s a little orange dot between the two letters. You can find all kinds of it at any grocery or discount store.

Hope this helps.
