# LG Signature washer showing svd

svd tells you the Signature washer detected oversudsing.

## What svd actually means.

svd tells you the Signature washer detected oversudsing. If foam builds while spinning, the washer stops to help prevent leaking.

LG SIGNATURE washer display · also shown as Sud

What to do when svd shows on the washer

### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair

Turn the washer off and back on.

### Shows up as Washer Stops Mid-Cycle

The washer starts normally, then pauses, stalls or shuts off before the cycle ends, sometimes with water still inside.

### Make LG SIGNATURE

LG's top-tier laundry line, finished to a higher standard and packed with more electronics than the core range.

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Turn the washer off and back on.

02

Run Rinse+Spin to clear the foam.

03

Use no more than the recommended HE detergent dose from now on.

### 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

svd is not a broken part; it is how the display writes its suds warning.

## What you may notice with it.

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

## Questions about svd.

### Can I clear svd myself?

Turn the washer off and back on.

### Why does my LG Signature display read svd instead of Sud?

That is how the manual prints the oversudsing message on this display. It means the same thing: too much foam in the drum.

### Can the oversudsing behind svd on the LG Signature put water on the floor?

LG says the washer stops a spin when it senses too much foam specifically to help prevent leaking, so less detergent protects the floor as well.
