Front loading washing machine- why am I get soap suds after wash?

Are you using detergent that is specifically for HE machines? They need a low sudsing detergent or that can happen, and the residue can ruin your baffle (seal on the door).

This is a problem with these front loaders as well as moisture that stays in the rubber seal and causes mold to grow. Change detergent to a low sudsing one designed for HE (high efficiency) washers. There are several on the market - but Wisk HE Deep Clean is one of them.

I use the extra rinse cycle on my machine and it helped.

I have a front loader and had the installer tell me to use about 1/2 the HE detergent the bottle calls for. I have been doing that and never have any suds left over and clothes are clean. Have you checked the drain/water lines coming into your washer? I would not think that would be the problem unless it isn't getting enough water to rinse your clothes. Using the extra rinse cycle was a good idea.

My washer had suds left in the seal especially in the towels. I just washed a of towels and added an extra rinse and when it was done it still had suds. I don't think I should have to run extra rinses. I only use Tide HE just below the lowest level and it's a large load of towels and now it's on its second rinse. Is something wrong with it?

Maybe you should cut down on the amount of soap powder you put in the machine, or maybe it is not rinsing properly.

You could wash a few towels without any detergent and see if you still have suds. If you do, than I think you are using too much detergent....I use only about a 1/2 tablespoon of HE All detergent. When I put my front load washer on the clean cycle, about every two months, I will have suds but for a normal wash, none.

My suggestion is to add white vinegar to the tub where it says fabric softener, I do just that and have never had remaining suds.

Best to you.
