I have a Maytag laundry machine (Model MAH2400AWW) but no manual! Recently, during operation it suddenly stops & pops up with message "suds" . I could only turn it off & restart.
There is a panel at the bottom front of your machine. Remove the 3 - 4 screws at the bottom of the panel. Inside the panel you will find Service Codes and other useful info. It's a good place to keep them so my advice is to put them back when done with them. It is indicating "suds" because you are either using too much detergent, wrong kind of detergent (make sure it's high-efficiency detergent) or you need to clean the catch basket on the drain pump.
The owner's manual can be downloaded here:

Hope this helps.

This worked for me for the E3 error code: Turn the machine off and then on. Enter the Service Mode by pressing the Chime and Exrta Rinse keys for 3 sec. Display the Diagnostic Codes by pressing the Rinse and Spin key. Clear the codes by pressing the Delay and Chime keys for 3 sec. Turn the machine off, unplug and plug in the power cord. This dumps the memory. Evidently, if it gets full, it causes problems with the programming and messes up the cycles.

It means that there is too much soap in the machine most of the time. Give it time for the suds to go down then try to run it through again. Try using a little less soap later on. Front loaders need less soap than top loaders.

Hi, I have the same machine and same problem and I fixed it this morning I felt something with my hand at the bottom of the drum. It was a nail that went diagonaly insibe one of the drum holes right under the outer surface of the spinnner, right now it is working perfectly.

The error code is not 5 D it is "S" as in Sierra D. The letters stand for Slow Drain.
I had this code and it was fixed in 10 minutes or less.
Simply remove the bottom panel from the front of the washer. You do this by removing the three screws at the very bottom of the front panel. There is a screw on the bottom left, bottom right, and bottom middle.
Once the screws are removed the front panel should drop down slightly, and then you can remove the front panel.
On my peticular model the drain pump had a very large circular tube with what looks like a twist off handle in the middle.
On mine, you rotate the handle counter-clockwise. It's very stiff at first. This is because of the thick rubber seal that you are rotating against.
After about one complete spin it should get very easy to spin and you unscrew it completely off, and pull straight out.
On mine, the back of the tube you pull out contains a tray that hold junk coming out of the wash.
The tray has holes for water to pass through to get to the pump.
When I took mine out, there was one quarter, and one nickel in the tray. That was all it took to clog the dain holes so the drain water moved too slow.
The on-board computer measures the water flow and can tell if it is moving too slow.
Keep in mind, sometimes the money in the tray must have vibrated off to the side just enough that the drain flow was fine.
My error code would be there one day, and not reappear for about two days. Then it would come back every day for about 3 or 4 days in a row.
It was very irratic to pin down when the code would appear, and when the wash would be fine.
I cleaned out the money and some very minor lint and re-assembled.
It's been 3 months and the code has not come back.

Thanks BH. Merry Christmas ! Thanks for the manual, I have it printed & keep it handy for quick reference. The message didn't show up for the last week. I think of leaving it for a while until same comes up again. Thanks for your help.
