Thank you! I do not usually leave a comment after watching a video but this was extremely helpful. My 83 year old husband actually watched it and said it looks like we could do that. So far the machine seems to be functioning. So thank you from saving me the $300.00 I was quoted for a house call. We live Very far from any service tech 😿.

Great video°!! The technician from Maytag couldn't find or fix the Sud error on my 4year old machine and told me I had to get a new washing machine as it wasn't covered by the warranty and in 5 minutes with this video and your expertise I was able to fix it myself and save another $1500 for a new washer. WOW much respect 🙌 🙌🏼👍👏

I just wanted to come here and say THANK YOU! I’ve been in countless repair pages for days and days and at no point did any of them reference the filter. My filter was so plugged, just amazing actually. I will add on my Maytag, my filter was in the front, which required taking the unit completely apart. Thanks again, so much! I was thinking I was really screwed.

Thanks for this video, it helped to fix my issue. I have an 8630 and unfortunately the drain filter is in front. Thankfully with my long arms I was able to reach it from the back to clean the filter. I also removed the drain hose behind the filter and that actually had more hair and gunk than the filter did!

I have a version of this from around 2011 and it requires removing the 'kickplate cover' which is one screw, and then this cleanout is right there. Still not ideal, as you have to take the cover off, but better than having to pull the back off.

Thanks for posting. I have a Maytag 24" front load model MAH2400AWW. Apartment size. Front loader with round door. I bought it used. I think these came out about 2007. It looks like new. I'm getting the SUdS alert. It will finish the load but it keeps stopping & pausing so it takes about 3 hours. Then I can reset the alert by pressing pause-pause-stop. But happens again. Although if I run it with no soap & no clothes, it seems to go all the way ok. Is the fix the same for this model as the one on your video?

If your display is the same as mine….Look for the button that says “Cycle Signal”. Turn dryer or washer on first. Then press the Cycle Signal button until the display says 0. That will mute it. The sound level goes from 0-3.
So I have a pre 2012 Maytag 9800 model and accessed my filter from the front. 3 bottom screws and cover comes off with the filter facing right at you.

Why do they make it so hard for this machine, I have an LG which has the filter in the front on the bottom. Thank you so much for this. I just happened to get the SUD flashing on my screen and I use so little detergent. My machine automatically goes into a 2 hour anti suds cycle which I dislike very much. It had gone for 1 hour and used up 20 gallons.

If there isn’t anything clogged in the filter, your drain pump might be bad. See if you can look into it after taking the filter off. There might be something that has lodged itself in the drain pump propellers that draw the water out. I hope this helps. But the drain pump might actually be bad and in need of replacement.

Don't do this if you have a 4000 series front loader. You can simply remove the three screws holding the front lower panel on and the filter is right there. A whole lot easier than this model.

If you watched the video in its entirety. You would have noticed that the error can happen when the filter is clogged. If your washer is working extra to continue to rinse the suds out and it keeps having this error. It is obvious that something else is causing the problem. That would be a dirty/clogged filter. Many in the comments have solved the issue following my video. They have discovered many things that somehow make it to the filter and clog it causing the SUD error. The extra work has to be done when the simple work fails to solve the issue.
