The answers above are mostly correct. This comes directly from a knowledgable Sears repairman: you can use regular detergent, but don't use a lot. About a quarter capful should be enough. I agree with him, because I have done it. However, "don't use it for towels and washcloths-there will be too many suds".

Yes. The HE detergents are specially formulated for these newer front load washers. "HE detergent is a concentrated laundry soap that is low-sudsing especially for use with low water high efficiency washers.
If regular detergents were to be used in front-loading and high efficiency washers, the presence of too much suds could 'confuse' washing cycles, cause delays and make proper rinsing of clothes difficult. "

Yes - saw it on the news this week. Don't know the reasons why though.
