Over-sudsing Pause

Washer pauses due to excessive suds

Samsung · Washing Machines

What does Over-sudsing Pause mean?

The washing machine has detected an over-sudsing condition and has temporarily paused the current cycle. This is a protective measure to allow the excessive suds to naturally dissipate.

Common Causes

  • Too much detergent used
  • Incorrect type of detergent (non-HE)
  • Very soft water

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Wait patiently for the washer to pause; the cycle should automatically resume once suds dissipate.

  2. 2

    Reduce the amount of laundry detergent used in subsequent washes.

  3. 3

    Ensure you are using a high-efficiency (HE) detergent suitable for your washer model.
