Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for SU dS on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Cancel to turn off the alert message.

02

Let the washer finish its extra rinses.

03

Use HE detergent at the right dose, and run an empty Quick Wash to clean out residue.

Cleared?

No part had to be replaced. If a later load stops with water left in the drum or the cycle halts again, treat it as a new problem.

What not to do

SU dS is not a drain or pump problem. The cycle runs long because it is rinsing out suds.

What you may
notice with it.

The washer problems SU dS tends to arrive with. Answer these at the washer before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something the washer does by design, or a setting somebody turned on — a child lock, a prompt to run a cleaning cycle, a paused cycle waiting for the door. No part has failed and nothing needs replacing.

In Electrolux's own words

Error Code SU dS indicates oversudsing has been detected by the washer will result in the washer requiring additional rinses until the suds have been cleared.

Questions
about SU dS.

Can I clear SU dS myself?
Press Cancel to turn off the alert message.
Why is my Electrolux cycle so long when SU dS appears?
Each extra rinse to clear suds adds about five minutes, and the washer keeps going until the foam is gone.
How do I stop SU dS from coming back on my Electrolux?
Use HE detergent, do not overdose it, and run an empty Quick Wash to flush out residue.
