What to do when Sud LOC shows on the washerKind of codeMode, not a failure
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.
Usually leads toNo repair
Wait; the washer continues on its own when the suds have gone.
Shows up asWasher Stops Mid-Cycle
The washer starts normally, then pauses, stalls or shuts off before the cycle ends, sometimes with water still inside.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for Sud LOC on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wait; the washer continues on its own when the suds have gone.
Use a suitable detergent and do not overdose it.
Check the drain standpipe is no higher than about 47 inches.
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
Sud LOC is not a lock failure; LOC here refers to the pause while suds clear.
