Yes. Even though HE washers use less water, they have two to four rinse cycles rather than one rinse in a traditional washer.

According to the SDA, using regular detergent may prevent some soils from completely rinsing out of the HE washing machines. The Soap and Detergent Association recommends avoiding problems by using an HE detergent and by running a regular maintenance cycle, which means running a full wash cycle without any laundry in the machine. Check the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for specific details.
HE detergents create few suds and disperse quickly to help get the best cleaning performance with only 20% to 66% of the amount of water used in traditional machines.* And HE detergents were actually developed by home appliance engineers and detergent scientists.

According to the Soap and Detergent Association (SDA), HE detergents are the “only choice” for HE washers. Using regular detergents can create too many suds, which can interfere with the washer's tumbling action by “cushioning” the laundry, and reducing soil and stain removal. These excess suds can also lead to residue buildup, because they are not as easily rinsed away. Over time they could lead to machine malfunctions.
