Suds-Saver was a real, once-common Kenmore/Whirlpool feature that routed wash water into a utility sink or tub after a cycle, then pumped it back in for a second similarly soiled load rather than draining it away — a genuinely separate valve and hose system layered on top of the washer’s normal fill and drain components. A Suds-Saver-specific complaint is diagnosed at that valve, separate from the washer’s main drain pump.
