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

Do nothing. The washer will automatically attempt to remove the excess suds.
Wait for the cycle to complete. This may take longer than usual as the machine works to clear the foam.
Once the cycle is finished, remove the laundry and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Run an empty rinse cycle to clear any remaining suds from the tub.
In the future, use less detergent, especially with soft water or lightly soiled loads. Always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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