Possible Causes
Overuse of detergent, Use of non-HE detergent in Fisher & Paykel high-efficiency washer, Very soft water causing foaming, Blocked pressure hose misreading foam as water
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer if it is overflowing with suds.
- Let suds dissipate: Leave the washer off for 30–60 minutes to allow foam to break down, then run a rinse and spin cycle without adding detergent.
- Use correct detergent: Only use HE (high-efficiency) detergent and follow the dosage recommended by Fisher & Paykel, reducing the amount in soft water areas.
- Clean pressure system: If suds errors are frequent, inspect and clean the pressure hose and air dome to ensure accurate water level sensing.
- Run cleaning cycle: Periodically run a tub clean cycle with no laundry and a washing machine cleaner to reduce residue that promotes foaming.
