The first thing I would check is to dthe hose where float ball is located underneath tub. .Mine had a total of 4 small socks stuck. 1 sock was underneath tub right before float ball. 2 socks were stuck in between float ball and water pump. The last one was located in pump filter. Thanks for the tutorial! Saved me some$$$$$.

Susds error is a an fault error ....the machine has detected excessive tub pressure could be from not using "HE Soap ....if your are good but you might be using to much.... whens the last clean cycle you have ran to clean excess inner tub buildup on your washer .....

1 #drain all water out of filter sump behind lower front axcess panel make sure washer is unpluged

2# reinsert filter sump and and leave axcess panel off u make have to do this several times...

3# now check black rubber hose that goes from pump to bottom of tub remove clamp check for any obstructions in bottom of tub clean float ball of debris and reinstall and reconnect clamp to buttom of tub..

What does SUD mean?

SUD means that excessive suds or slow draining were detected. The usual cause for the error are using the wrong detergent, too much detergent or something blocking the pump from removing the water from the washer.

Try pressing Pause/Cancel twice to clear the error and run the washer without any detergent or clothing. If you see suds forming in the washer, run the cycle a few more times. Check your outlet hose for any kinks. If the error persists, you need to open up the washer and check the filter for the pump and the pump itself for foreign objects. (The filter is sometimes called a coin catcher since that is the most common item found in it.) Have a bucket ready to catch the water from the pump and connected hoses. Please post a comment with the exact model of the washer since Kenmore products from different manufacturers do not always have a unique 5 digit model number. With that information, I may be able to give you specific information on reaching the pump.

I hope this helps.

I've gotten the error code DL and then F, I tried sanding, unplugging but it still shows me the error. How can I fix it?

Hi,
Initially unplug the washing machine.While the washer remains unplugged, press and hold the [Start/Pause] button on the front panel for five seconds.
Plug the unit back in, and run a rinse and spin cycle to test if the DL code is cleared.

If you still face the problem then follow the procedure:

Unplug the washer and allow the unit to sit for 30 minutes to give the suds time to dissolve.

Plug the washer back in and press [Power] to turn on the washer.

Do not choose a washing cycle. Press the [Spin Speed] key until "No Spin" is selected.

Press [Start/Pause] to begin a drain only cycle.

After the drain only cycle has completed, remove the clothing items from the machine. Turn the power back on and select [Rinse and Spin] and then press [Start/Pause].
This will remove excess soap suds and light residue from the drum.

Repeat this step until no visible suds are in the drum of the washer.


Hope this helps.

My kenmore washer showes sud code

If it is similar to the Whirlpool duet,

Try using less soap (hi eff machine)
try using more fabric softner
to clear the occasional Sud warning, I run the machine on "quick wash" with no detergent/additive. gives it two more quick spin cycles in 30-35 minutes, usually clears it.

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.

The following link explains the "SUD" error and how to correct:

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

The error can be caused from obstructions in your drain pump (or lines) to using the wrong type (or too much) of detergent. Read through the link thoroughly and let me know what you find. This problem usually has a simple remedy that does not require a repairman. However, if you require additional assistance, or have questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

Error code F02 f the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and F02 is flashed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display. NOTE: After 4 minutes the ?Sud? error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed. Potential Causes ? Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked ?
