How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error SUD OR SD

Error Code: SUD OR SD Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Excessive suds have been detected in the dishwasher. This is often caused by using the wrong type or too much detergent.

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

1. Press the ‘Cancel/Drain’ button to stop the cycle and pump out the sudsy water.
2. Open the dishwasher door carefully, as there may be a lot of suds.
3. You can help break down the suds by pouring 1 cup of white vinegar or adding a few tablespoons of salt into the bottom of the dishwasher.
4. Let the dishwasher sit for about an hour to allow the suds to dissipate.
5. Once the suds are gone, close the door and run a ‘Rinse Only’ or a normal wash cycle with no dishes or detergent to flush out the machine.
6. To prevent this, only use detergent specifically made for automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid dish soap for handwashing.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
