Washing machine problem- Kenmore Elite front load- Suds code comes on after about 1 minute in any cycle. Have cleaned out the drain. Have replaced the pressure switch 2 times. Tried replacing the steamer control board and still the problem continues. Have run the rinse and drain cycle, normal cycle and express wash cycle with just water and with vinegar. Nothing gets rid of the suds code. Eventually f 35 error code comes up too. Any suggestions? I really don't want to replace the electronic control but that is what I have been told I may have to do. Can't the system just be "reset" somehow? Help!

Check this manual: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Kenmore_Washer_Elite.pdf
You will need to test some components with a meter to see if they are good. There are solenoids that you have to test for continuity. These are cheap and it makes more sense to find and replace a bad solenoid rather than randomly replacing parts that can be tested with a meter.

Wise up and learn to depend on a meter.
