Error Code: SUD Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Suds Detected
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.
When It’s Better to Replace Than Repair

Here are a few signs it may be time to shop for a new one:
- ✓Appliance over 8-10 years old
- ✓Repair cost over 50% of replacement
- ✓Multiple recent breakdowns
- ✓Major component failure
