How to fix the problem? You will find answers to all these questions in this article.
How the error is decrypted
Samsung washing machines have certain codes that help consumers recognize the problem that occurs in the device as soon as possible.. Consider what the Sud (5ud) or SD (5D) error code can signal to us.
Code Sud (5ud) or SD (5D) - indicates the formation of a huge amount of foam inside the drum. When there is too much soap solution inside the device, the mechanism switches to the mode of suppressing foaming (active mode). If the mode failed to lower the foam level, the machine goes into standby mode, waits for the foam to settle on its own (passive mode).
Definition of cipher 5D typewriter without display:
- a huge amount of foam outside the device;
- indicator lights on all washing modes;
- light of temperature indicators;
- switching the machine to "standby" mode.
Causes of the error:
- unsuitable powder for washing in an automatic machine;
- excessive use of concentrated powder;
- foam sensor malfunction;
- the drain filter is dirty;
- washing “fluffy” products;
- the operation of the control module (“brains”) is disrupted.

How to fix the problem yourself
Basically, the inclusion of the code Sud (5ud) or SD (5D) is for informational purposes. If you find a similar error - it is easy to fix. It is necessary to wait from 5 to 15 minutes for the foam to settle. The machine will remove the foam on its own and continue to operate normally. In some models, you need to press the "Start / Pause" button to actively remove the foam (you must read the instructions).
Tip:
In order for the 5D error not to occur, it is necessary to use only high-quality powders or liquid detergents. On the packaging of the product should be indicated "automatic". On average, 2 to 3 kg of dry laundry requires 1 tbsp of powder. Fluffy things also contribute to excessive foaming.
If a lot of foam has formed, the washing mode does not end, the sensor constantly flashes with an error code (5D, sud or suds):
- It is necessary to interrupt the washing;
- go to the drain program;
- pull out the laundry;
- check the drain filter, most likely it is clogged. It will be necessary to clean it. You will learn more about the location of the filter from the instructions for the device;
- rinse the powder dispenser and the drum itself from detergent residues;
- start washing without laundry and powder in the “Cotton” mode, with a temperature of 60 degrees (for washing the inside of the machine from foam).
If an error occurs, but there is no foam formation - This indicates a breakdown. But still try to clean the drain filter of the device, and start a new wash without laundry and powder. If the error code does not disappear, you need to contact a specialist.
