Samsung washing machine display SUDS on the screen

If your washing machine displays SUDS on the screen, it has detected an over-suds condition and will stop for a short period to allow the suds to dissipate. This error code is usually caused by too much detergent or the wrong type of detergent.

Samsung recommends using "HE" (High Efficiency) detergent, which is designed specifically for high-efficiency front loader washing machines. "HE" detergent has high-efficiency cleaning capabilities with low suds properties. Non "HE" detergent normally has high suds properties, and will cause excessive amounts of suds in your machine.

If you are already using "HE" detergent and your washing machine is displaying the "SUDS" error code, you may be using too much detergent. Please follow the detergent manufacturer's suggested amount of detergent. There are many different concentrations of laundry detergent. For example: 1x, 2x, and 3x. Be sure to reduce the amount of laundry detergent accordingly.
