The SUD code is a result from oversudsing. BE SURE to use an HE detergent. The f21 code shows the machine is taking too long to drain as a result of too many suds. Start the washer with a cap full of fabric softener and nothing else. If it goes through the cycle as it should then you're good. If it doesn't, then replace the pump.
Mar 17, 2011 - my maytag 5000 series steam washer stopped and said Sud and now says ... Clicking this will make more experts see the question and we will .... I bought aMaytag 3000 seris in 2008 and I am getting these messages: F21 ... Maytag 5000 Series washer F21 error code was flashing and door will not open.
F20 water only problem insufficient water supply open both hot and cold unclog hoses
F21 Drain problem clogged,frozen kinked
SUD excess sud using non he detergent or to much detergent
F22 front door lock door not closed properly
For these select poepwer/cancel twice to cancel cycle
Other f codes select power/cancel twice select drain& spin if youhave excess water
something in the drum to outer drum skin floating around and blocking when the level is low but not gone
a sock or dog waist bag plastic etc etc
sud can be too much soap used
or has been used
so flush the machine on rinses a few times first
after errors to avoid this build up ghost error
Push the pause/cancel button twice to clear your message. Then run through a rinse/spin cycle. Next try a normal load without any detergent. SUDS is usually from too much detergent. If this fails, checked the hose for kinks. Check connections and if all that fails, you will probably have to replace the pump. Good Luck!
Just cleaned out the drain inside the Maytag 3000 and boy if that don't fix it nothing will. I think something was growing in there. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help
If something is preventing water from pumping through the drain pump, you will often get a "SUD" error as air is developed in the pump. Make sure you double check all the drain lines as well.
If you have questions, or require additional assistance, please let me know before you rate the solution. I hope this helps you.
