Possible Causes
Using non-HE detergent, using too much detergent, blocked pressure hose causing false suds detection, partially blocked drain
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 cycle finish: The machine will attempt to clear suds by adding rinses. Allow it to complete.
- 2. Use HE detergent: Only use high-efficiency (HE) detergent and follow the dosage on the label, reducing the amount for soft water or small loads.
- 3. Run rinse and spin: If suds remain, run an extra rinse and spin with no detergent.
- 4. Check drain and pressure system: If Sd appears frequently even with correct detergent use, inspect the drain pump, hose, and pressure hose for partial blockages as described under F21 and F10.
