This error, as you seem to know, indicates excessive detergent suds during the cycle, caused by too much detergent or by not using High Efficiency (HE) detergent. The washer will not be able to spin out water with the excess suds.If you're satisfied, that these causes don't apply to your machine but nevertheless your cycle does not properly complete, you'll need professional service.
