Possible Causes
Using non-HE detergent, too much detergent, restricted drain causing suds buildup, pressure system misreading suds as water
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Do not open the door mid-spin; wait for the drum to stop.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Let the cycle finish: The washer will attempt to clear suds by adding water and extending rinse. Allow it to complete.
- 2. Run an extra rinse/spin: If suds remain, run an additional Rinse & Spin with no detergent.
- 3. Use HE detergent only: Switch to high-efficiency (HE) detergent and use the minimum amount recommended for your load size and soil level.
- 4. Clean drain system: If Sd appears frequently even with correct detergent use, clean the drain pump filter and hoses to ensure proper draining.
- 5. Clean washer monthly: Run a hot cleaning cycle with a washer cleaner tablet to reduce residue that can cause suds.
