Why do I have an over-sudsing problem?
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source
before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.
Over-sudsing problems occur for several reasons. Soft water
requires less detergent than hard water. This product,
SofChek,
will help you to determine if you have soft or hard water in a minute
or less. If you pre-treat your clothes, you will need less detergent to
get them clean. Many times the pre-treatment can add to sudsing in the
washer. If you use an oxygenated bleach, this can contribute to
over-sudsing. Adjust detergent levels accordingly for hard or soft
water, load size, water temperature, and amounts and types of soils on
the clothing.
If you want to get rid of the excessive suds, advance the
timer to
the final spin cycle, and then re-wash the clothing without adding
detergent to it. Repeat as necessary until the wash and rinse water is
clear.
