 Not unusual. Similar bunch of debris reeking with mildew was in the Duet HT I refurbed a couple years ago. OTOH, my friend Debbie's HE3 (non-T) which is older than the refurb Duet was clean other than a couple candy wrappers and small screws when I changed the pump ... and she has 13 dogs and several cats. Suds error can be caused by debris in the pump trap that obstructs free flow for draining, not just from using non-HE detergent. | ||

Once I learned by video's how to clean my Duet's drain trap, for the first few years, I periodically would take it off and check it. But Whirlpool does NOT make it easy at all....But when I did check it, there is hardly anything there. Maybe a small piece of lint, but that's it. Almost clean as a whistle. So I haven't checked it in probably 3 or 4 years now.

Suds Error By the time you get this era code there is usually quite a few foreign objects in the trap, all this crap in the trap really shows a lot about the housekeeping in this household. Actually this trap was cleaner than many we have seen when it comes to mold and slime. And yes TP Full fill washers do get stinky and full of mold and slime. I have seen plenty of GE FFs, WP DDs, and even MT DC washers full of slime and mold.
All it takes is bad laundry procedures, cold wash water, cheap ineffective detergents [ Sears, Arm&Hammer, Purex, Amway, most Environmental brands and many diluted dollar store offerings, to name a few ], add this to using too little detergent and excessive fabric softener and you can have a real mess. | ||

Things In Outer Tubs Front Loading Washers have ALWAYS had a lot of trouble with foreign objects [ coins, bobby pins,screws, nails, small Jewry, collar stays, tiny socks, thin scarves and on and on ] getting past the gap at the front of the cylinder. As I mentioned in my last comment it has a lot to do with the way many households are run today.
Hi Brent, try every time you do a load of laundry in your FL washer taking a hand full of junk from your household Junk Drawer and add this each washer load and I will guarantee you will eventually find some junk in the pump trap, LOL. | ||

A couple of weeks ago, I heard this odd scraping noise in my Speed Queen front-load washer while it was spinning. Not really a grinding, just scraping noise. Sometimes loud, sometimes not. A couple of loads later, I decided to check the pump. My '04 model does not have a sump in the outer tub per se, but there is a strainer/cleanout port on the pump itself. I pulled out two dimes. No lint, hair or any other junk, just the two dimes. One of the coins was still in the outer tub and had not made it's way to the pump trap but I was able to jiggle it down there and now the problem is gone.
I had a WP Duet and after four years had almost nothing in the pump trap, a few strings was all. I just saw this a few days ago on a CL ad for a GE front-load washer. I would imagine they had a little trouble with the junk drawer ending up in the washer, too. Lol. I wonder if they had to buy each letter individually or there is a whole kit you can buy...

Oh Mr. B!
What on the green earth are you doing looking that up anyway? OMG, plain nasty.
combo52 said it best about "household's of today". In the business that we are in, (as I have commented before) you'd gasp for air on the sight/smell of some of the things we see. Of course I always find a way to check out the washer. Best estimate, 87% nasty folks, 6% will work, 7% clean. Say it to the employees all the time "Very Few Give a Damn About Anything"! Not at my house sweet friend. Honey please, dog food in the storage riser under the washer. AND he calls himself out on it. One word. NASTY! | ||

I'm the ONLY one that does laundry
and I always check EVERY pocket of shirts and pants. Yes, I have made a couple of mistakes and missed something in the past a couple of times. When the wash was done, I found a quarter and another time a small screwdriver. I was so MAD, but they remained in the tub and didn't seem to damage anything. It's REALLY EASY to miss these things with all the hidden pockets in clothing.
