Error Code SUD

Your washer detected too many soap suds and is working to remove them.

Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

Also displayed as: SUD or SUdS

What This Means

Too much detergent used; Wrong type of detergent (non-HE detergent used in HE machine); Excessive foaming detected during wash cycle

What actually causes this:

Too much detergent was added, or regular detergent was used instead of the HE (High Efficiency) type required for front-load washers.

First Thing to Check

Just wait — the washer will remove the extra suds on its own and then continue the cycle.

How to Fix

  1. 1

    1. Wait for the washer to complete its automatic foam-removal process — 'End' is displayed when finished

  2. 2

    2. Verify the consumer is using HE (High Efficiency) detergent

  3. 3

    3. Check the amount of detergent being used — reduce the quantity

  4. 4

    4. This is a normal protective operation, not a malfunction
