Using non-HE detergent, Overdosing detergent, Very soft water with normal detergent dose, Blocked pressure hose misreading suds as water
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep children and pets away from any overflowing suds; unplug the unit if it overflows.
- Allow cycle to continue: The machine may automatically extend rinse and drain to clear suds. Do not add more detergent.
- Use HE detergent: Only use high-efficiency (HE) detergent and follow the manufacturer's dosing recommendations.
- Reduce quantity: In soft water areas, use less detergent than the maximum recommended.
- Clean tub: Run a Clean Washer cycle with no clothes and a washer cleaner to remove detergent buildup.
- Check pressure hose: If Sud appears frequently with correct detergent use, inspect and clear the pressure hose as described under F3/F27.
