Suds in the tub
Wrong detergent.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water
to the bottom of the dishwasher. Close
the dishwasher door, then select any
cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will
drain out the water. Open the door
after draining stage is complete and
check if the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.
Spilled rinse-aid.
Always wipe up rinse-aid spills
immediately.
