How to fix Sud: safe DIY steps
- Use no more than the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent, and cut it back until the sudsing stops
- Use high efficiency (HE) detergent. For liquid detergent, fill only to the Max line; for powder, remove the liquid detergent cup
- If you use pods, put one pod directly in the drum before loading laundry (no more than 1 per load) and never in the dispenser drawer
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
