Won't hurt to run the load but may need to add an Extra Rinse or run an additional rinse/spin on it after it's done. Bleach is typically dispensed into the first rinse, so your detergent charge will make the first rinse into another wash. Pull the dispenser drawer and wash out the bleach compartment when done to insure no detergent is left. If the Auto Detergent and Auto Softener settings are enabled, the washing machine dispenses an appropriate amount of detergent or fabric softener into the drum according to the cycle. Please note: To use the manual dispenser, make sure the auto dispenser is switched off. Press 'Dose per Wash' until the Auto dispense indicators are off.
What if you could pour a full bottle of liquid laundry detergent into a tank on your washing machine once a month or so, and forget about sloshing and measuring every time you do laundry?

If you watched the 2017 Emmy Awards show, you probably saw a commercial for a GE washer that touted this function. GE calls it SmartDispense, and they have built it into their GTW750CSLWS top-loader.
But this amazingly convenient bulk dispense feature has been out there for years. (I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories, but is it possible that the detergent companies didn’t want us to know?)
Other manufacturers have integrated the technology into some of their top-of-the-line front load washers. Whirlpool calls their version Load N’ Go and includes it on its high-end washers. Maytag offers an Optimal Dose Dispenser on its top-of-the-line MHW8200FW.
These washers can figure out exactly how much detergent is needed each time and dispense it from the tank, saving you time and money. You can run every laundry load without worrying about how much detergent to add, and avoid the impossible search for that nearly invisible measuring line on the inside of the cap. It's safer than using pods, too.
