Why am I getting a SUD error message?
I got the SUD error during my last two loads of laundry. I believe I am using the correct type and amount of soap. Why might I be getting this error message?

Dave, according to the service manual there are a few possibilities
Sud - SUDS LOCK (Overdose of Detergent detected during the Wash Cycle)
The motor control unit senses a suds lock condition by analyzing the current draw on the drive motor. If “Sud” is displayed a potential suds lock is detected. This may signify a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive detergent, or excessive suds.
• If too much detergent was used, run the unit through a Rinse/ Spin cycle then a Normal cycle without adding any detergent. This should clear the unit of the excess detergent.
• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked
• Check Wire Harness connections to the Drain Pump, Pressure Switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Check/ Clean Drain Pump Filter of foreign objects
• Check Drain Pump
• Check the Pressure Switch
• Check CCU
To make your job easier, try to download the manual from the bottom of this page Good luck and I hope it helps.
Here is an image showing the location of the pressure switch
