Possible Causes
Too much detergent used, Non-HE detergent in high-efficiency Samsung combo, Very soft water increasing suds, Partially blocked drain causing foam buildup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open the door mid-cycle if the drum is full of hot, soapy water.
Steps to resolve:
- Allow auto-correction: The machine will usually add extra rinses and pauses to clear suds. Let it complete this process.
- Run extra rinse: If suds remain, run an additional rinse and spin cycle without detergent.
- Adjust detergent use: Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent and reduce the amount, especially in soft water areas. Follow Samsung's dosage recommendations.
- Check drain system: If SUD appears frequently, clean the drain pump filter and ensure the drain hose is not restricted.
When to stop: Persistent SUD even with minimal detergent may indicate a pressure sensor or drain issue; further diagnosis may be needed.
