Started the wash , letting it cycle through it stopped at wash with water and little suds in the tank. So this happened to me once I cleared the error codes and then squeezing the hose going from the tank to the pump while in service mode finalling pulling through thus draining . It has happened again after my wife had put our big comforter in it . I got water and little suds not draining . I've been through the service manual up and down any suggestions that could stop this forever.

Likewise,
the pressure switch can't detect a lack of pressure because the suds
(being ornery little clusters of air) sit in the space that should be
occupied by water, or in this case no water. Fooling in effect, the
pressure switch into behaving as if the tub still contains water.
Once enough bubbles pop the pressure switch will do it's thing and
the time display will start where it stopped as does the rest of the
cycle, in this case final spin..
So
first let's verify that it isn't just a cycle adjustment. About the
only way to do that is to see if it will finish the cycle. Unless you
just use way too much detergent ten minutes should be way more than
enough time for suds to pop or about anything else to correct itself.
So next time it occures just wait and see what happens. Maybe it'll
give us an error code. Let me know.
Get as much as you can out with a towel, then flush the rest with cold water. Just pour it in and dry it out with a towel until you are able to pour water in it and it go out the dispenser like normal. After you have gotten the dispenser cleaed out you will need to get the detergent out of the machine before using it. Start a cycle with cold water. Let it start washing, when you see suds forming pour in a little vegetable cooking oil. This will kill the suds. Keep doing this through the cycle. After the suds are gone and the cycle is done, run it through another cycle with hot water. If you have no suds you are done. If It still suds up by the end of that cycle, run the cold wash and vegetable oil again.
You should be ok by running one cold and one hot, just watch it and add a little oil to kill the suds.
The cooking oil trick works with dishwashers too if you ever put the wrong detergent in them.
