What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There are too many suds in the washing machine.

Seeing SUD, Sud or Sd on a Whirlpool washer? Suds are building up beyond what the washer can handle, and each design copes in its own way.

Top load models

A suds reduction routine starts by itself. The manual’s advice is to let the washer carry on.

Front load models

  • Excess suds stop the washer from spinning water out.
  • To fix that, it lengthens the rinse: tumbling stops, water is added, and the bubbles break.
  • Expect this stop-and-rinse pattern to repeat a number of times.

What to change

  1. Dose HE detergent (concentrations like 2x, 4x, 8x) by the maker’s directions for soil and load size.
  2. Save big pre-measured pacs for big or heavily soiled loads.
  3. Avoid “no splash” or “easy pour” liquid chlorine bleach on front load washers, because its thickening agent may add suds; use regular liquid bleach instead.

The top load suds page is Sd, 5d. For items left in the drum, read about rL.
