What to do when Sr 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Speed Queen's own guidance for Sr on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the routine run.
Next time, use a low-sudsing HE detergent.
If you use non-HE detergent, use half the amount the label suggests.
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
Sr is not an error that stops the washer. It keeps going and adds time to clear the foam.
