Possible Causes
Using non-HE detergent, using too much detergent or softener, very soft water causing excess suds, blocked pressure hose misreading suds as water
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open the door mid-spin; wait for the drum to stop.
Step-by-step:
- Let cycle continue: The washer will attempt to correct oversuds by adding rinses and extending drain. Allow it to finish if possible.
- Run extra rinse: After completion, run an extra rinse and spin with no detergent to flush remaining suds.
- Adjust detergent use: Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent. Use the minimum amount recommended for your load size and soil level, especially in soft water areas.
- Clean washer: Run a Clean Washer or tub clean cycle with a washer cleaner tablet to remove detergent buildup.
- Check pressure hose (if Sd persists without visible suds): Inspect the pressure hose for blockages that could cause false suds detection.
