What Sd means.

On Admiral washers Sd, also shown as SUDS, means the washer found excess suds during the cycle. The heavy foam keeps the drum from spinning freely and slows draining, so the washer pauses and adds rinse water to clear it. Regular detergent or too much detergent is almost always the cause.

Most common causes.

  • Regular detergent used instead of high-efficiency detergent

  • Too much detergent for the load size

  • Soft water increasing sudsing

  • Detergent residue built up in the tub

Try this first: safe DIY troubleshooting.

  1. Let the washer finish its automatic suds-clearing routine.

  2. Switch to high-efficiency detergent marked HE.

  3. Measure detergent to the line for the load size.

  4. Run a rinse and spin with no detergent to clear leftover foam.

  5. Run a tub clean cycle if your model has one.

  • Ivan is the only repairman I would ever trust with our appliances! We have used him 3 times (for our dryer, our dishwasher, and most recently our oven). We called him when our oven unexpectedly stopped working and he got us scheduled right away and had it fixed immediately! He is prompt, incredibly knowledgable, very friendly, reasonably priced, and honest! Look no further if you have any appliance repair needs! Thank you again Ivan!! - Kate

  • Our ice maker in our GE Profile refrigerator stopped working. We contacted several vendors through Yelp and Esquire was quick to respond and were able to come out the next day. Our ice maker was back up and running right away! They were able to buy the proper part and install it all in one day. They were courteous and reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased with how it went.
