Likely Causes
  1. Using too much detergent or using non-HE detergent in a high-efficiency washer
  2. Detergent residue buildup inside the tub from previous overuse
  3. Very soft water causing even small amounts of detergent to create excessive suds
  4. Fabric softener dispensed at the wrong time mixing with detergent
How to Fix It
1
Allow the washer to continue; it will automatically extend the rinse cycle to dissipate excess suds
2
Switch to HE-rated detergent if you have been using regular detergent
3
Reduce the amount of detergent used per load, especially in soft water areas
4
Run an empty clean washer cycle with a washing machine cleaner to clear residue from the tub and hoses
