Error Code: SD Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Suds Detected
How to Fix SD Error (Step-by-Step)
- Pause the current wash cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Allow the washer some time (about 30 minutes) to break down the excess suds on its own.
- Once the suds have dissipated, resume the wash cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- For future washes, ensure you are using a high-efficiency (HE) detergent.
- Reduce the amount of detergent used, especially for smaller or lightly soiled loads.
- Run an empty ‘Clean Washer’ cycle with a washing machine cleaner to remove any detergent residue.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
