SU dS and the extra rinses
This message belongs to the oversuds protection on front-load Electrolux washers of the current generation. After the washer senses too much foam, it keeps adding rinses until the suds are gone, and each added rinse stretches the cycle by approximately 5 minutes.
Checklist for the owner
Confirm the detergent is the high efficiency type.
Confirm the amount is not more than necessary.
Clean the unit by running an empty drum on quick wash.
Press cancel to dismiss the alert message.

Washer service in the Bay Area
If SU dS returns once the detergent checks are done, book Electrolux washer repair in San Francisco by phoning (415) 449-0036. Mention the code, the washer’s model number and which detergent steps you tried.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so SU dS may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
