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

Do not add any more detergent. The washer will automatically attempt to resolve the suds issue.
The machine will pause the cycle and may add extra rinses to clear the suds. This will extend the cycle time.
Run a rinse and spin cycle to help clear the remaining suds.
In the future, use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent as recommended for your washer.
Measure detergent carefully according to the load size and soil level to prevent over-sudsing.
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.
