There is a panel at the bottom front of your machine. Remove the 3 - 4 screws at the bottom of the panel. Inside the panel you will find Service Codes and other useful info. It's a good place to keep them so my advice is to put them back when done with them. It is indicating "suds" because you are either using too much detergent, wrong kind of detergent (make sure it's high-efficiency detergent) or you need to clean the catch basket on the drain pump. The owner's manual can be downloaded here:
Frigidaire front-loading washing machines have an electronic control panel where the wash cycle and any other wash options are selected, and the wash cycle is initiated and stopped, if necessary. The control panel also has indicator lights that show the washer status and will display an error code if there are issues with the washer. The "E20" error code indicates a possible pump problem.
Blocked Pump
One of the primary reasons why there may be an "E20" error code on a Frigidaire front-loading washing machine is if there is something blocking the pump. Disconnect the washing machine from the power and release the clips on each side to remove the front access panel. Set a container under the pump drain, which is located on the lower right side of the washing machine. Open the pump drain plug and allow it to drain. Clean out any debris that might be causing the obstruction, then close the drain plug. Close the access panel and restore power to the washer.
Drain Hose
If the drain hose is blocked or crimped, the water may not pump out fast enough, causing the pump error to appear on the display. Straighten out the drain hose in the rear of the washing machine and move it away from the washer if it's trapped between the wall and the washing machine.
Oversudsing
If too much detergent--or the wrong kind of detergent--is used in the washing machine, too many suds may result. This can overwhelm the drain and pump system, resulting in the error. Use only high efficiency (HE) laundry detergent with Frigidaire washing machines and follow specific instructions on the laundry container for the recommended amount of detergent. Run a drain cycle if there are excess suds in the washer to clear out the system.
Pressure Switch or Control Boar
The pressure switch may not be communicating properly with the control board, which can cause the E20 error to occur. The other possibility for the E20 error code is if the control board has failed entirely. Try to reset the washing machine by pressing "Stop/Cancel" and disconnecting the washing machine power cord. Wait 30 seconds, then restore power. Make a new cycle selection and press "Start" to see if the error code returns. If it does, turn off the washing machine and contact Frigidaire for repair.
Hi FUATALEVU.Just read your posting.Now error code 37 mean you have a pump block error.This means either your pump is blocked or jammed or the pump could be faulty or the motor controller is faulty or the pressure switch tube for water level is blocked.Does your machine drain the water out of the bowl?Where is the water draining to?Is it into a laundry sink or somewhere else?What is the model number of your machine?Please reply with additional information on the questions and I am sure I will be able to help you.Looking forward to your reply.
There is an excessive amount of suds in the system and this affects the sensor and causes the drain pump to run and run and run until it shuts off from overheating. This is why we get the F2 and/or suds error code. Once a month, run the machine on the hot water cycle with a cup of bleach. This will clear out any suds build-up. Good luck :)

Question
Locked motor error code.
Answer
LE
error code: This indicates a locked motor condition. Please check the
following conditions.
Large loads of laundry can put a strain on the motor causing the LE
error code. Try removing some clothing and restart.
Excessive suds can cause the LE error code. Make sure the customer is
using an HE (High Efficiency) detergent. They should decrease the
amount of detergent until the machine washes without suds. A few
bubbles can be expected. Areas that have �soft� water will usually need
to use less detergent.
If you suspect that excessive suds are the problem, let the machine
stand for 30 min (motor cool down) and then run a rinse and spin cycle
before restarting the load.
If these directions are followed and the code persists, the machine
will likely need service.

Fuser issues - if problem is reoccuring then you are looking at more expense, are all vents free of obstructions (folders leaning on machine sides/rear) is machine being flogged, is power supply consistent, maybe even fuser bought was faulty, many options, try doing a warranty claim on fuser or replace again, even better get another printer, welcome to our throw away world!
