Suds Lock	S L	The motor controller senses a suds lock condition by analyzing the current draw on the drive
		motor. If a potential suds lock is detected, the control tries up to 3 times to clean out the unit
		with a mini-cycle. See Use and Care Guide for more information.

		“SL” is displayed if suds are detected but the unit is unable to clean out suds. This may
		indicate a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive detergent or excessive suds.
