Yeah okay. I went to a friend, had thought of having a little rockn roll afternoon. Turns out he was in the basement, in the laundry house and was almost hysterical. He was washing a mat (rug) in the washer and had added quite a bit of soap. The whole drum was full of it. The funny person i am i first tape it and then trying to help him out of the problem. He doesnt say a word in one of of the videos. He was afraid the washer was screw up for good.

First video here.

 
Now i know how to fix this situation. so i turned the program selector to pump and made it pump out the water. Then selecting sama program again and made the drum moves a few times. It was still so much soap so the foam went up into the detergent compartment.

Clip here.

 
Of course i then turned the selector to pump AGAIN and tried again to see if the foam had vanished enough to let the machine finish the wash without "problems". Nope it staryed to leak out again. This time however it was very weaker compared to before. After this we pumped the water off and tried again. This time it was ok it seemed.
see clip

 
We had now making the machine pump and rinse several times. Then it was time to get it rinsed ok. First try to let it spin ended in suds lock just seconds after the start. I then did like this: make the machine fill water, drum turns a little, then click the selector a snap to pump and spin, then repeat it a lot of times. The last video here is after the 5 ordinary rinses had been done. We did repeated it one more time (5 more rinses without our "interuption")
Moral of the story? NEVER use soap in the washer. Its not good.
