Re Whirlpool Duet Steam front loader-- keep getting Faults F 35 problem code and SudS error (we use Tide liquid in less than Tide manufacturer reco'd amounts). What could problem be---machine is 3 months old.

Actually, your error code is "Sd" and indicates that the washer thinks that there are too many suds in the basket / drum.

Your buzzing sound is also likely to be the water inlet valves, common to top loaders as well, as the washer is adding additional water to rinse excessive suds out. Check your supply hoses for kinks, connections for scale buildup inside, as well as the screens on the inlet ports of the washer itself.


A kinked or restricted drain hose can also throw an Sd error code as well.

I also got the SUDS error followed by F35 many times. I replaced the analog water level switch, Wirlpool part number W10156252, and the problem went away. The part is located against the back right corner of the top of the washer after removing the top cover. The part cost $62.99 + $12.95 express shipping from ApplianceZone.net. I have the Kenmore HE3t Steam Washer, model number 110.46752 700 front loader. I was able to run about 6 loads of laundry by unplugging the washer, waiting about 5 minutes, the re-plugging and re-starting the washer. Thereafter, the problem became permanent. I always used HE detergent. The washer was purchased new in December 2007, and the I made the repair in September 2009. I spent about $1300 for the Kenmore H3t Steam Washer, and I am disappointed that it required repair after less than 2 years. My mothers old Maytag washer lasted more than 15 years, and was not susceptible to soap SUDS.

Hi!

For a top loader, a general rule of thumb is to lay clothes loosely inside the washer until they reach the top of the agitator. For a front loader, fill it until it's full, with minimal compression of the clothes.

Please do rate this solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance.

O.K. Is the water draining out properly? If the filter is blocked then your washing will be churning in dirty water as the machine will drain for a maximum time then rinse etc. in the used water.

I have always used regular Tide powder in mine and my kids use Tide liquid in it. You just need to use about half as much. My man is a motor head so he gets DIRTY and I have three teens so I wash a lot of very dirty clothes. My clothes get very clean and I have never purchased the "special" Detergent.

I have had my Duet for three years.

Hello,
Welcome to Fixya,

Try this,

The manufacturer recommends unplugging the washer for at least 30 minutes. This will often fix momentary glitches with the washer.


Let me know,

be sure you are using he(high efficency low suds) detergent ..the tide he tend to suds a lot and all brands may over suds some in soft water try cutting back some if problem ..not truly suds issue? ck pump for clog..remove bottom cover turn pump clean out counterclockwise and pull clean out and reinstall try running washer short cycle cold water to removce excess suds

if using tide change detergents tide can oversuds even if he..also if you have a water softner over suds can happen
