Possible Causes

Using non-HE detergent, using too much detergent, very soft water with normal detergent dose, residue buildup in tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not open the door or lid while the washer is full of hot, soapy water.

  • Let the cycle finish: The washer may extend rinse and drain times to clear suds. Allow it to complete.
  • Run extra rinse: If suds remain, run an additional rinse & spin with no detergent.
  • Use HE detergent only: Switch to high-efficiency (HE) detergent and use the minimum amount recommended for your load size and soil level.
  • Clean washer: Run a "Clean Washer" or hot empty cycle with a washer cleaner tablet or 1 cup of white vinegar to remove detergent residue.
