    my machine worked fine, but at the end of cycle it said sud. what does sud mean? I thought maybe I just used too much soap.

    my washer has water in it and the door is locked and it will not drain how do I get the door unlocked so I can at least get the water out It flashes F02

    Towards the end of the wash cycle, the display reads suds and the washer does not continue to the end of cycle. I canceled the cycle and tried to finish with the drain spin cycle and it still remained with the suds display? How do I reset this and why is it happening?

    Ridiculous....

    Same problem....

    Suds error....probably too much detergent, but the clothes are sitting in a puddle of water and the machine won't let me do anything to correct it. Just keeps flashing sud........ and driving me crazy.

    Kept getting suds code. Followed advice to drain, remove lower panel, unscrew face of pump assembly. Found several color catchers, a button, and a wrist band. Removed items... washer new again.... drains great with no errors.

Advance machine to drain/spin cyce to remove the water.if it doenst drain and just "humms". try removing the lower access panel. just behind it youll find the pump assy unscrew the face and empty the contents (probably lint, baby bock, assorted stuff from pockets)be prpared though the hose above is FILLED with water. Make sure your using HE detergent!!!!!!!!!!

Frustrated, I finally unplugged the washer for about 30 minutes.  When I plugged it back it, the washer had reset itself and I was able to program it to drain/spin.  It has worked fine since.  Thanks for the suggestion!

My kenmore he3t washer flashes sud &code error f35...think it needs presure switch part#w10415587 how much is it?

That is a water level sensor, if it is still in warranty contact the manufacturer. If not look for the sensor and check for loose wires, if not loose wires replace the sensor.

Kenmore elite hE3 washer has f32 code flashing. Door is locked and would not open.

F/32 error code; this indicates a pressure switch failure. The Sud error code indicates a suds lock condition. Be sure that you are using HE laundry detergent & the drain hose is not too low.

Sud and f35 error in my kenmore elite h5 steam washer. The washer do not wash the cloth and flash F35.

I got the f35 and suds code repeatedly and my clothes weren't washed, I ordered from Sears the analog pressure switch that regulates the water coming into the washer and the codes went away, the part is esitmately $125.00 including shipping but you have to order from the Sears parts department.If you print a diagram of the washer it is #38 in the diagram and is easy to replace. You can install it yourself and as a female I did not call service to do it.

Not a problem ... Just bought a Kenmore Elite HE3t washer & dryer and read bad evals on Sears.com.....are these good machines, or should I change my order?

I would send it back ASAP, had our Kenmore Elite front loaders for less than 2 years and it has been nothing but trouble, so far it has cost us $200.00 in repair fees and washer still not fixed, expecting another so called Sears expert out tomorrow that will be another $129.00 for just showing up without guaranteeing he will fix anything.i

''SUD'' Code on Kenmore Elite HE3t after new pump.

Run some white vinegar through a rinse cycle to get the excess soap flushed out.

Kenmore Elite HE3 water is leaking out the front door

These are notorious for the door boot leaking. Look for any tears, rips, pinholes in the door boot. Also make sure the door is parallel with the machine. Most likely it's the boot. Parts about 100.00. Labor can run from 110-140 depending where you go.

Have "sud" code and"f 02" code

I don't have a solution but I feel your pain.

I had an F02 error flashing so I got brave and took off the front panel and opened up the drain thing. What a mess! Water everywhere and OMG,the filter was caked with goop, a popsicle stick and a piece of metal.

I still get a Sud error so I am having the Sears guy out in the morning.
