How to Fix Amana Washer Error SD

Error Code: SD Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Suds Detected

How to Fix SD Error (Step-by-Step)

1. This code means the washer has detected too many suds and is not an error. Do not add any more water or try to open the lid.
2. The washer will automatically take steps to reduce the suds, which usually involves pausing the tumbling and adding more water. This will add time to the overall cycle.
3. Allow the cycle to complete on its own. The machine is designed to handle this situation.
4. After the load is finished, remove the clothes and run a full wash cycle on hot with the washer empty. This will clean out any excess detergent residue.
5. For future loads, ensure you are using a detergent marked ‘HE’ for High-Efficiency machines.
6. Reduce the amount of HE detergent you use, as modern detergents are highly concentrated. Use the measurement lines on the cap as a guide for your load size.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
