My washer wont spin & drain

when you put it on to drain can you hear a noise from the pump to show its working, if it wont drain it wont spin, if you can hear the pump then there is a blockage somewhere could be in the pump, filter, outlet hose or stanpipe

Get error SUD and will not finish cycle

The Motor Control Unit senses a suds lock condition by analyzing the current draw on the drive motor. If "Sud" is displayed a potential Suds Lock is detected. This may signify a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive detergent, or excessive suds.

Possible Causes / Procedure

• If too much detergent was used:
- Run the unit through a Rinse/Spin cycle.
- Run a Normal cycle without adding any detergent.

This should clear the unit of the excess detergent.

1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check wire harness connections to the drain pump, pressure switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU).
4. Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects.
5. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. Check drain pump.
7. Check the pressure switch.
8. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle.

F02 & SUDS error + no spin

The "F02" error code is a slow drain error. If you have confirmed your dry lines are clear, you may have a drain pump that is either clogged, or is not working properly. The following link explains:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r615268-f02_error_code_whirlpool_duet_kenmore

It doesn't take much to damage the drain pump on these washers. If something is lodged in the pump for extended periods it could potentially damage the pump impeller or pump motor. The pump may SOUND like it is working, but it may not be pumping. If a good cleaning doesn't work, you may have to replace the drain pump. Replacements are available at searspartsdirect.com.

The "SUDS" error may be caused by a drain pump this is not working properly as well. If the pump gets air inside, it will begin to cavitate and can cause the "SUD" error to appear. Just to be sure, you can refer to this link as well:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r629564-suds_error_whirlpool_kenmore_front

If your washer is not draining properly, it will not spin, either. I think your spin problem may be directly associated to a drainage issue. Begin with a an inspection and cleaning (if required) of the drain pump. I suspect this may be the cause of all your symptoms.

I hope you find this information helpful. Please post back with any questions or comments you may have.

Kenmore Elite HE4t Washer

I believe the SUDS error is in direct relationship to the clogged drain problem. Yes...the error can be generated by the use of too much soap. But, it is also caused by too much air in the drain pump. This is caused by a clog somewhere. A clog in the drain area of the gasket is not going to cause this. The problem is your drain line and/or drain pump. If you click on the link below, I have step-by-step instructions on how to access the drain pump and clean it out.

http://www.fixya.com/support/r385844-checking_drain_pump_kenmore_elite_front

I have experienced on one occasion where the drain hose coming from the bottom of the wash tub was clogged. This, ironically, was from someone washing a rug that had a ton of sand and dirt in it. I had to remove this hose from the bottom of the wash tub and clean it out. I mention this just in case cleaning the drain pump is not enough.

I hope you find this information helpful. Reply back if you need further assistance.
