Error code ''suds'' on maytag front loading washer

The Suds error is generated by not using High Efficiency (HE) detergents or using too much of it, or adding additives as well as HE like stain removers, Oxyclean or Calgon. Try a hot wash with no detergent at all. Towels are good, because in most cases, they aren't actually stained.

When you say you cleaned the drain hose, did you remove it, push a broom handle through it and then run a garden hose down it. I have a drain hose that had an apple stalk in it and it had gathered enough fluff to seriously constrict the flow of water.

This error code indicates excessive detergent suds occurred during the cycle. This could be caused by using too much detergent or not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent. The washer will not be able to spin out water with the excess suds.Jun 16, 2020

Clean the drain pump basket. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kenmore+elite+front+load+washer+drain+pump+cleaning&oq=Kenmore+Elite+Front+Load+Washer+drain+pump+clean&gs_l=youtube.1.0.33i21l2.425000.427123.0.432800.6.6.0.0.0.0.410.1517.2-5j0j1.6.0...0.0...1ac.1.lQhVllMwg9M

I found that mine was having a sud error. I removed the lower front panel and removed the filter. It was full of lint and loose change. I reinstalled the filter and haven't had a problem since. On a side note I found something interesting laying inside. A service tech guide wich stated to do exactly what I had done.

Hello,

The F2 error codes means LONG DRAIN TIME and the suds code the washer detected water in tub after normal alloted drain time...so basically the F2&SUDS means the same thing. A lot of times when it does not drain fast enough,its caused by a blocked filter on the pump being biult up with debris. This tip i wrote will show ya how to clean the pump filter.

Here is the service manual for your machine.
When you get the suds cleared out you must use H E soap and or less soap.
You may need to run 3 or 4 cycles with no clothes at all to clear out the existing suds.

ok for SUD see this link..

God's Peace,

sd is suds error. add only HE soap. UL is unbalanced load. watch load size and balancing loads.

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.
