What detergent do u use for this type of washer

This error code indicates excessive detergent suds occurred during the cycle. This could be caused by using too much detergent or not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
The washer will not be able to spin out water with the excess suds. When "Sud" or "Sd" is displayed, the washer automatically extends the rinse time to remove the excess suds. During this time, the washer pauses the tumbling and adds water for additional rinsing. This pause allows the bubbles in the suds to break. This pause and rinsing are necessary and may occur several times to eliminate the suds. This could significantly lengthen the time for your washer to complete the cycle.
If the problem continues, and the correct amount and correct type of detergent is being used, we suggest running a "Clean Washer" cycle to remove residual detergent that might have built up in the washer. Follow the instructions in your Owner's Manual for cleaning

What kind of detergent are you using? F1 in most cases means that the wrong type of detergent is being used. If it's a front-loader, you should be using h3 detergent.

SF is suds failure,or too much detergent or wrong type of detergent.You need to use H E type detergent.

on certain models the "sf" stands for service filter.

Hello

Try running the washer through rinse/spin cycle,then normal cycle without any detergent.

SF is suds failure,or too much detergent or wrong type of detergent.You need to use H E type detergent.

This should clear the machine out.

liquid is best as powder is mostly made of a "clay base" in its detergents??? yes i did say clay!

"SUD" is a Suds Detect error code. The following link explains the error and potential causes:

The number one cause of the error is from using too much, or the wrong type of detergent. You are required to High Efficiency (HE) detergent with these washers because the concentration is formulated for HE washers that use small amounts of water. Using the wrong type of detergent can also void any warranty you may have.

NOTE: HE detergent does not have a lot of suds, which often confuses consumers into thinking they aren't using enough detergent. With HE washers little to no suds if normal and preferred.

Secondary causes can come from something restricting the drainage system. Most notably, something lodged in the drain pump and/or drain hose(s). I've included a follow-on link that explains how to check the drain pump reservior if required.

Read through the link provided and let me know if you still have questions. I hope this helps you.

High Efficiency detergent is strongly recommended for front-load washers. This detergent is a "low sudsing" detergent as opposed to the regular detergent. If you use regular detergent is a front-load unit, you may have issues down the road!

Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, add detergent to the detergent
compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

Did you sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and
colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

Did you overload the washer?
Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded,
but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint
can be trapped in the load if overloaded.

Check the following:
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Did you use enough HE detergent?
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for the type of load
you are washing. For best performance, use only High
Efficiency detergent. Use enough HE detergent to remove soil
and hold it in suspension.

Do you have hard water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard
water.

Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)?
Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely
dissolve the detergent. Use hot or warm washes if safe for the
fabric load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to
provide a hot water wash.

Have you run the Clean Washer Cycle lately?
To freshen your washer and to avoid odors, see “Cleaning
Your Washer.”

Are you using HE detergent?
Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue which can
result in odor.

Did you leave the door open after use?
This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid
odors leave the door open to allow the washer to dry
between uses.
