Possible Causes

Too much detergent, Non-HE detergent used, Soft water with normal detergent dose, Residual detergent buildup

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal repair is needed for SUD unless repeated frequently.

  • Pause and rinse: Allow the washer to complete its automatic suds reduction. If needed, run an extra Rinse+Spin with no detergent.
  • Use HE detergent: Only use high-efficiency (HE) detergent and follow LG's recommended amounts, reducing dose in soft water.
  • Clean tub: Run a Tub Clean cycle with LG-approved cleaner to remove detergent buildup.
  • Persistent SUD: If SUD appears with correct detergent use, the pressure sensor or drain system may be partially blocked and should be inspected.
