Error Code: FOAM DETECTION SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Too much foam has been detected during the wash cycle.

How to Fix FOAM DETECTION SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Pause the current wash cycle. If the machine will not pause, turn it off.
2. Wait for 15-20 minutes to allow the foam to dissipate on its own.
3. Once the foam has reduced, select a ‘Rinse’ or ‘Spin’ cycle and run it without adding any more detergent. This will help to flush out the excess suds.
4. If there is still a lot of foam, you may need to run an additional rinse cycle.
5. To prevent this in the future, reduce the amount of detergent you are using, especially for smaller or lightly soiled loads.
6. Ensure you are using a high-efficiency (HE) detergent, as these are formulated to produce fewer suds.
7. If you have soft water, you will need to use significantly less detergent than the manufacturer’s recommendation.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
