eli5: Front Load vs Top Load

586 views

Few days back we got washing machine powder for our washing machine, later my uncle pointed out that what we have (bought) was top load while our washing machine was front load. We were of the impression that washing machine powder is washing machine powder but when I googled I got to know that front load powder should never ever be added to top load and vice versa. Google said there is a possibility of the washing machine breaking down too

I want to know why exactly that is such a huge issue because both are washing machines with the door placed at different places

A quick google search seems to indicate that top loading machines use a more bubbly detergent. Meaning you could run top machines with less bubbly front detergent, but not the other way.
