Excessive suds or foam visible inside the dishwasher, sometimes leaking from the door.

Safety first: Be cautious of slippery floors if suds leak out.

• 1. Stop the cycle: Cancel the cycle and allow the suds to settle.
• 2. Remove excess suds: Scoop out foam with a container and wipe with towels.
• 3. Rinse interior: Add 1–2 tablespoons of cooking oil or a cup of cold water to the tub to break down suds, then run a short rinse cycle. Repeat if necessary.
• 4. Use correct detergent: Only use dishwasher-specific detergent and avoid pre-washing dishes with regular dish soap.
• 5. Clean up spills: If rinse aid was spilled inside the tub, wipe it up thoroughly before running another cycle.

Persistent oversudsing can damage pumps and seals, so correct detergent practices promptly.
