Possible Causes
Excessive suds in washer. Washer
is running a suds reduction routine.
The dispenser cartridge is not
detected.
Check for proper water supply.
Check for proper inlet hoses.
Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose extends
into standpipe farther than 4
(114 mm).
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer door not locking.
Load detected in drum during Clean
Washer with affresh

®
Allow the washer to continue. Use only HE detergent. Always
follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to determine
the amount of detergent to use, and base detergent quantity
on load size. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency
are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds.
For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents
may generate a high level of suds. If you use one of these and
see a "SUD" error code appear in the display, consider using
a different HE detergent.
Touch WATER HARDNESS to change water hardness to "soft."
Ensure the dispenser cartridge is inserted correctly and the
dispenser drawer is shut completely. For single-load doses
of detergent when cartridge has been removed, ignore
this message.
Unit will drain for 8 minutes while door remains locked. The
drain cycle must be allowed to complete or the error code
cannot reset. When complete, touch POWER once to clear
the code. Then touch POWER again to restart washer. If code
appears again, call for service.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
If used, auto shut off connectors and hoses must be properly
installed and in working order.
Use only manufacturer's recommended inlet hoses.
Check drain hose for proper installation.
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, pinched, or blocked.

manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level.
Touch POWER to cancel the cycle. Check that the door is
closed completely and latching. Check for items in the washer
drum that may be keeping the door from closing completely.
