Sorry. Yes, the water drains, but soapy clothes and the inside of the
machine (sides) still has suds. On this particular load, I washed very
few
things and used very little detergent (liquid)... So, I don't believe it
was "overstuffed" with clothes, nor do I believe I used too much
detergent...

Does the house have a water softener? If so wash the clothes with out any
soap until the suds stop.

Then reduce by half the amount of clothes washing detergent your using.
