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.
