What are the reasons and what to do if error 5d appears on the display of a Samsung washing machine?

Samsung washing machines are reliable in operation, but no manufacturer of household appliances can guarantee 100% protection against breakdowns.

Therefore, during the next wash, each user has a chance to encounter a 5D or 5UD error.

Read the article about what the 5d error on the display that a Samsung washing machine displays means, and whether you can fix it yourself.

Error meaning SUD, SD, 5D

Most often, the appearance of the SUD value on the washing machine display (in some models it may be designated as SD or 5D) is not at all a reason to panic and urgently call a technician. In numerous cases, this indicates that the level of foam inside the device is too high. You can verify this by looking at the loading hatch or opening the powder cuvette. Modern Samsung machines are equipped with foam formation control, and in cases where there is a lot of it, the suppression mode is automatically launched.

The SUD error code that appears indicates that the problem could not be resolved, so the device has stopped working and is waiting for the foam to settle. As a rule, the user does not need to do anything; within ten minutes the washing machine will continue to operate itself. Some models may ask you to press the “Start” button to continue working. But sometimes the amount of foam does not decrease, and the fault message continues to light up continuously on the display. In such cases, you need to know how to fix the breakdown and eliminate the causes of its occurrence.

How to proceed

This type of error does not pose a serious danger either to the washing machine or to the laundry being processed. In most cases, it is provided that the removal of excess foam is performed automatically.

Some brands provide for removing excess foam after pressing the “Start/Pause” button on the machine panel.

It is important to understand that using too much powder does not improve the quality of the wash. It will be the best option if the portion is exactly as indicated on the package.

Unfortunately, another option is also possible. If everything is done correctly, but excess foam still appears, then this is not an insurmountable problem. It is enough to simply adjust the loading rate. In such a situation, you need to add less powder than before.

If, despite the measures taken, the problem continues to arise, then you need to consult with specialists.

Why does the error occur?

If the SUD error is displayed, you first need to find out the cause of the problem. The following code appears if:

• For washing, a powder was used that was not suitable for automatic machines;
• An overly concentrated powder was used, the foam of which the automatic machine could not cope with;
• Poor quality powder used;
• The dose of detergent for one wash cycle has been exceeded;
• The foam sensor has become unusable;
• The water level sensor is broken;
• The water drain hose, pipe, and sewer are clogged;
• A serious malfunction occurred in the operation of the control unit (but the washing machine shows error 5D for this reason very rarely).

First of all, check the washing powder - often replacing it is enough to solve the problem.

Why does Samsung issue this code?

Error 5D is for informational purposes only. There may be several reasons for its appearance:

1. Incorrect calculation of the dose of powder or other detergent. If there is too much of it in the tray, excess foaming cannot be avoided.
2. The powder used was hand washable and not machine washable.
3. The detergent is of poor quality.
4. The drain filter is clogged.
5. There are porous and fluffy things in the drum, which lead to a lot of foam. If this is aggravated by even a slight excess of powder, then problems cannot be avoided.
6. The foam sensor has failed.
7. The water level sensor (pressostat) is faulty. In some Samsung washing machines, it not only measures the water level, but is also responsible for controlling the formation of foam. If this part fails, a 5D code will appear, although the amount of foam will remain within normal limits.
8. Clogged drain pipe, hose or sewer drain. If the hole is partially blocked, then the water will come out slowly, but this is not enough to remove the foam.
9. Malfunction or failure of the control unit.

Depending on the cause of the 5D code, further actions will differ. Sometimes you can solve the problem on your own, without calling a specialist to your home.

Additional functions

In addition to programs, Atlant washing machines also offer several useful functions that allow you to improve cycle parameters. Some are activated automatically, protecting equipment from excessive foaming, imbalance or overfilling, while others are turned on at the user’s discretion. We will analyze the most popular and convenient options in more detail.

1. Additional rinse. When this function is turned on, a second rinse is added to any program, which ensures that the detergent is completely washed out of the fabric. This is necessary if you are washing children's clothes or clothes for allergy sufferers.
2. Half load. Now you don’t have to wait until the basket with dirty laundry is filled to the top - you can wash a modest load without imbalance and unnecessary water consumption. With the half-load option, you can put fewer things in the drum, while the machine will work smoothly and use resources economically.
3. Refusal to spin. This option is necessary if items made from delicate fabrics, silk, wool and down are washed.
4. Easy ironing. Thanks to a special algorithm, things look smooth after washing, which saves time on ironing.
5. Water level control. This function allows you to save water consumption. Special sensors analyze the weight of the laundry loaded into the drum and calculate the volume of liquid required to wash it. Savings reach up to 10 liters per cycle.
6. Delayed start. With its help, you can start washing at any set time within 12-24 hours, for example, before returning from work or waking up.

What does the code mean?

Usually, when error 5d appears on the display, a large amount of foam is visible in the washing machine. The design of such equipment assumes the presence of a foam control function. In Samsung Diamond washing machines it can be active or passive. If the machine detects a high level of foam, its amount is suppressed in active mode in stages.

When the mechanism is unable to cope with foaming, error 5d appears on the Samsung Diamond washing machine. The mode changes to passive or standby. The technique waits for the foam to settle. The period can be long - it depends on the amount of detergent used for washing.

Diagnostics

If error 5d occurs in the absence of foam, you must proceed according to the following instructions:

• press the power off button;
• disconnect the device from the electrical network;
• get underwear;
• clean the drain filter;
• run the washing machine without laundry and powder in any mode that involves heating the water to 60ºC.

If there is any water left in the drum, it must be drained before removing the laundry. This is done using the emergency drain tube located behind the filter cover.

If the error does not appear again, you can continue to use the washing machine.

If the device display continues to display fault code 5d, most likely the problem is a clogged drain filter.

SUD / 5D / SD problem, how to fix it without resorting to professional intervention

This fault mainly notifies you that the current process has stopped. In this case, you only need to wait and observe, and not interfere. In rare cases, when after plus or minus 15 minutes, you do not observe any changes. If the device does not work, then you should follow these recommendations:

• Inspect the filter located in the drain system. If it becomes clogged, the foam will not be able to drain away on its own. Rinse it under the pressure of running water (the filter is located behind the hatch located in the corner of the front lower panel). If you do not find it yourself, then review the operating instructions for your device.
• Perhaps, due to your carelessness, you poured a low-quality powder into a special dispenser, or a product that was not designed for automatic use. Under no circumstances should you use powder designed for hand washing.
• Control the volume of powder that you place in a special dispenser. It should not be more than the specified norm.
• If you loaded downy or excessively bulky items into the machine, then add a smaller amount of detergent.

Samsung washing machine SUd, 5Ud – how to fix it yourself

Check the powder. If Samsung error 5d appears for the first time, pay attention to the powder. Detergents for hand washing are characterized by increased foaming. Quantity and quality also matter. On the packaging, manufacturers indicate the recommended amount of powder depending on the volume of laundry loaded. Listen to dosage advice and use a measuring cup. Cheap powder with a low amount of components responsible for extinguishing foam can also cause an error. Try changing the product. Otherwise, the list of errors may be supplemented with a leak code: error LE, LE1, E9 lights up on Samsung. Clean the filter. There is a filter at the bottom of the SM that prevents clogging of the sewer and hose. Sometimes the filter is not completely clogged. The opening is enough to slowly drain the liquid, but not enough to combat foaming. Result: error SUd, Sd or other derivatives. Unscrew the plug to clean the washing machine filter. Feature of fluffy things. Few people know that porous materials help increase foam volume. When washing such laundry, you need to reduce the amount of powder so that error code 5d on the Samsung washing machine no longer appears.

There is a lot of foam in the washing machine, how do you remove the loaded clothes? First, turn off the washer. Then drain the water through a filter or emergency hose. Take out your clothes and dry the drum with a towel. Start rinsing. That's all. If your Samsung washing machine breaks down, error 5d during the spin cycle will appear again and again. If the code no longer appears, the source of the excessive foam has been identified and corrected.

Note! When error 5d, SUd, 5Ud appears regularly on Samsung, call a technician. Foam may reach the control board. In such a situation, repairing a washing machine in Kyiv will cost more than originally expected. Don't put off solving the problem for too long.

How to fix the problem yourself

If more than ten minutes have passed since the error appeared, and the foam level has not decreased and the SUD error continues to appear on the screen, you should turn off the machine, unplug the power plug and remove the laundry. If the hatch is blocked, you must drain the water through the filter or emergency drain located behind the decorative panel at the bottom of the device.

Next, you need to clean the filter under running water, the drain hose and the sewer using a cable, and also free the cuvette from any remaining washing powder. After cleaning, run a new wash cycle without laundry or powder at high temperature to flush out any remaining detergent from the system.

If, after starting a new program, the SUD code appears again or in situations where it lights up on the screen and no foam is visible, this may indicate a malfunction of the foam formation or water level control sensors, which in a number of Samsung washing machines perform the function of controlling the amount of foam.

The foam control sensor cannot be repaired and must be replaced. It is very difficult to do this yourself; it is recommended to contact a service center and call a specialist who will select the appropriate part and install it correctly.

If the water level sensor (also known as a pressure switch) breaks down, you can fix the problem yourself. To do this, you need to perform the following steps:

• unplug the washing machine, unscrew and remove the top cover,
• find the pressure switch located in the corner,

• disconnect the air duct and move it aside,
• disconnect the wires from the faulty part,
• connect a new water level sensor,
• Reassemble the machine in reverse order.

In very rare cases, the SUD error indicates a breakdown of the control board. It is not recommended to repair this part yourself, because it can cause even more damage to the washing machine. In this situation, you need to call a qualified specialist and trust him to fix the problem.

Basic faults

Sign	Cause	Repair
Error (5D, sud or suds) during the washing process; no foam; during startup without laundry and powder, the error does not disappear.	Foam sensor malfunction.	The part needs to be replaced.
The error (5D, sud or suds) appears after turning on the machine, or during the wash itself.	Pressostat malfunction.	It is necessary to eliminate the malfunction or replace the pressure switch.
Slow drainage of water without powder; An error occurs when draining foamy water.	Clogged drainage system and sewer system.	The drain pipe, hose or drain needs to be cleaned.
The error does not disappear in any case.	Control unit malfunction.	You need to unplug the machine and restart it after 5 minutes. If no positive result is observed, you need to call a specialist. If the control board processor is intact, it can be repaired. If it is burned out, the control unit must be replaced.

Error 5D, sud or suds in a Samsung washing machine generally does not indicate serious damage. To avoid such problems, it is necessary to provide for foam control when purchasing a washing machine. Because devices with this mode fight foam on their own, automatically.

Possible faults requiring repair

RemBytTech specialists quite rarely encounter a breakdown when a 5D, SD or SUD error occurs in a Samsung washing machine. Nevertheless, they happen. Below are the most common faults that this code may indicate.

Signs of an error	Probable cause	Repair or replacement	Cost* (work only)
The Samsung machine displays the code 5D / SUD / SD on the screen during the washing process. There is no foam in the drum. When starting the machine without laundry and detergent, the error still appears.	The foam sensor is faulty.	The sensor needs to be replaced.	from 1900 rub.
Samsung washing machine displays error code 5D/SUD/SD immediately after turning on or during the washing process.	The water level sensor (pressostat) is faulty. In some Samsung models, the pressure switch, in addition to its direct function of measuring the amount of water in the washing machine, controls foam formation. And if it malfunctions, this error code may appear.	The pressure switch needs to be replaced.	from 1900 rub.
Without powder, the machine takes a long time to drain the water, but, in general, the washing proceeds normally. With powder – error SUD, 5D or SD.	Partial blockage in the drain pipe, drain hose or sewer. A small hole is enough to drain water into the drain, but not enough to discharge foam. This leads to an error when washing with powder. For example, RemBytTech technicians often encountered cotton swabs in the drain pipe, which allow water to pass through but prevent foam from being discharged into the sewer.	The drain pipe, hose or drain needs to be cleaned.	from 1300 rub.
At startup, during the washing or rinsing process, the SUD / 5D / SD code lights up in the Samsung washing machine. There is no foam in the drum. When washing again without laundry and detergent, this error is also displayed.	In rare cases, this code indicates a malfunction of the control unit - the “brains” of the machine.	If the control board processor is intact, then it can be repaired. If the processor is burned out, the unit will need to be replaced.	from 2400 rub.

Troubleshooting Methods

How to correct a situation in which the machine displays an error and a large amount of foam has formed in the drum? There is not always time to wait until the foam settles and the machine turns on on its own. To continue washing you need:

• disconnect the washing machine from the network;
• drain the water through the emergency drain (with the door locked);
• get underwear;
• clean the powder compartment, drum and drain filter from foam residues;
• If necessary, run the car at idle speed to clean all parts.

Even when the machine has completed the cycle itself, it is necessary to clean the compartment, drum and drain filters from any remaining foam.

If there is no foam in the drum of the washing machine, and an error code appears on the display, this may indicate a breakdown of the foam sensor. This part cannot be repaired and must be immediately replaced with a new one.

When the error code lights up during washing, but a large amount of foam is not formed, this may indicate a breakdown of the water level sensor. To check the serviceability of this part of the washing machine at home, you need to follow these steps:

• open the top cover of the machine;
• find the sensor in the upper corner, inspect its tube and contacts;
• clear blockages or straighten the tube if it is clogged, bent or pinched;
• clean contacts;
• if the device does not work, it must be replaced with a new one by removing the handset and disconnecting the wires, and then reassembling it in the same order.

To eliminate the SD error code, you may need to check the serviceability of the water level sensor - pressure switch.
When the washing machine takes too long to drain clean water, and when using powder during draining, it gives an error, this indicates that the washing machine drain is clogged.

If you have problems draining water, you need to clean the drain filter of your washing machine.

You can fix this problem yourself. First of all, check the place where the drain hose is attached to the washing machine and clean the drain filter. The drain hose can be cleaned using a special cleaning cable. You should also rinse the drain pipe located at the bottom of the unit; to do this, carefully place the machine on its side, remove the bottom, unclench the clamps holding the pipe to the tank and pump, and remove it. If necessary, clean the sewer.

In rare cases, when the error is due to a fault in the control module, repairs should be entrusted to professionals.

To avoid excessive foam formation when washing, it is important to follow simple rules:

• do not exceed the amount of detergent, use special measuring cups; when washing fluffy or porous items, reduce the amount of powder by half;
• use powder intended for automatic washing;
• monitor the quality of detergents.

In the table below, we have listed the main malfunctions associated with the appearance of the SD information code, the reasons for their occurrence and methods of elimination.

External signs of a problem	Causes	Remedies
The display shows an SD code when there is no foam	Foam sensor is faulty	Replacing the sensor
The error occurs immediately after the start of the cycle or during the washing process (the presence of foam is not necessary)	Pressostat malfunction	Inspect the sensor and troubleshoot, if necessary, replace with a new one
Draining clean water is slower than usual, an error appears when draining water with powder	Problems in the drainage system	Inspecting the hose, filters and drain pipe and cleaning them
The error occurs in any case	Malfunctions in the control unit	Call a technician, diagnostics

Thus, if an Sd (5d) error appears on a Samsung washing machine, there is no need to rush to call a technician. Sometimes, to resume washing, you can identify and eliminate the cause of the malfunction yourself.

In the 19th century, washing ladies' toilets took a lot of time. The dresses were first ripped open, and then each part was washed and dried separately so that the fabric did not become deformed. After washing, the clothes were sewn again.

For washing small items on the road or in a hotel, it is convenient to use a regular plastic bag. Socks or tights are kneaded inside a tied bag along with water and a small amount of detergent. This method allows you to pre-soak things and wash them without damaging the fabric or wasting a lot of powder and water.

There are a variety of balls that are used in the washing machine. Antistatic ones will prevent the fabric from sticking to the body after washing, balls with special loops will “comb” the lint and prevent the appearance of pills, and silicone ones with pimples will prevent fluff from matting when washing outerwear.

History knows the fact that a kitten fell into the drum of a washing machine and, after going through a full wash cycle on the “Wool” program, got out of the unit unharmed. The only trouble for the pet was an allergy to washing powder.

The first officially patented washing machine was made of wood and was a box with a frame, half filled with wooden balls. Laundry for washing and detergent were loaded inside and the frame was moved using a lever, which, in turn, made the balls move and grind the laundry.

Washing machines equipped with the “No Iron” or “Easy Iron” functions can wash clothes with little to no wrinkling. This effect is achieved through a special approach to spinning - it is performed at low speeds, with long pauses, and a small amount of water is retained in the tank.

Washing machines have something to do with the origin of the expression “money laundering.” In the 1930s, American gangsters used a network of laundries as a cover for their illegal activities. By passing off the proceeds of crime as proceeds from cleaning clothes, they turned “dirty” money into “clean” money.

The expression “soap opera” (“soap”) did not arise by chance. The very first series and shows that had a female audience were broadcast on television at a time when housewives did cleaning, ironing and laundry. In addition, to attract female viewers to the screens, commercials for detergents: soaps and powders were often played on air.

Astronauts, while in Earth orbit, solve the problem of dirty things using an original method. Clothes are dropped from the spacecraft and burn up in the upper atmosphere.

If there is a lot of foam and it comes out

• Do not turn off the washing machine. When the foam settles, the washing machine will automatically continue washing. To speed up the process, press the “Start/Pause” button.
• After finishing washing, clean the drain filter.
• Start the machine without laundry and powder on the “Cotton” or “Synthetics” mode, select the temperature 60°C or 95°C. This will help rinse the inside of the machine and dissolve any remaining powder.
• If during further washes a large amount of foam constantly appears in the drum, add less powder or change it.
• The recommended amount of powder is two tablespoons per six kilograms of dry laundry.

If there is little or no foam, it does not come out

• Turn off the machine using the “Power” button, then from the outlet.
• Take out the laundry. If the door is blocked, drain the water in emergency mode.
• Clean the drain filter.
• Run the machine in the same mode without laundry and powder.
• If the error does not appear, continue to use the machine, everything is fine with it. The error appeared due to a clogged drain filter.

Reasons for appearance

On Samsung washing machines, the sud error can be caused by various reasons. The main one is related to powder. The reason is this:

• use of powder not intended for automatic machines. The fact is that special powders automatically add antifoam agents, but powders for hand washing do not contain them, so they cannot be poured into the washing machine;
• low quality fake powder;
• the dosage of powder has been exceeded. If things are bulky, it is better to reduce the amount of detergent or use a special powder. And if the powder is concentrated, then it generally needs to be poured strictly according to the dosage.

If the powder you use is beyond doubt, then the problem is that the washing machine is faulty. Such malfunctions include:

• foam sensor failure;
• breakdown of the pressure switch;
• partial blockage in the elements of the drain system (hose, pipe, sewer);
• control board failure, which is extremely rare.

What to do yourself, and what to turn to a specialist?

You can eliminate most of the reasons that caused the Sud error to appear on your own. The most important thing is to act consistently. First of all, wait until the washing machine itself tries to remove the foam. If the error still appears on the display, then do the following:

• press the off button, then turn off the power to the machine;
• open the drum and remove the laundry;
• the door may be blocked, then drain the water from the tank through the emergency drain at the bottom of the machine or through the filter;
  

  Be careful, prepare rags and a flat container into which you will pour the water.

• rinse the drainage filter and run an empty program (without laundry and powder) with water heating to 60
  0

  C to wash out any remaining powder from the machine.

If, when performing this mode, the message sud appears again, then with a high probability we can talk about a breakdown of the foam sensor. It is not available in all washing models, and in some machines its function is performed by a water level sensor, which is often called a pressure switch. The foam sensor cannot be repaired and must be replaced. With this problem, you should contact a specialist who will find the necessary similar part and install it correctly.

If the pressure switch breaks down, you can do the repairs yourself. This part can be changed quite easily, you need:

• disconnect equipment from communications;
• remove the top housing cover;
• Find the water level sensor in the upper corner of the washing machine;
• remove the air duct;
• disconnect flash drives with wires;
• connect a new part;
• assemble the machine.

In some cases, the system may display a Sud error if the foam does not leave the drum due to a partial blockage in the hose or drain pipe. These parts need to be cleaned. The drain hose is disconnected from the machine and cleaning is carried out using a cleaning cable. To rinse the pipe, you need to remove it from the machine. This can be done through the bottom of the washing machine, you need

• put the equipment on its side;
• if there is a bottom, remove it carefully;
• release the clamps on the pipe that hold it on the tank and pump;
• wash the part and return it to its place.

You may need new clamps after cleaning the pipe; they are usually replaced.

Thus, in most cases, you can eliminate the reasons that gave rise to the sud error yourself. The main thing is to be patient and act according to the plan. Good luck!

Miele Foam Control System

Miele engineers took care of their consumers and equipped many devices with special “Foam Control” technology, which allows you not to worry about this danger. A sensor is installed inside the machine that reacts to the appearance of foam at the top of the tank. When it is triggered, the electronics will drain the water and refill it. This will happen until the foam leaves the tank. Foam Control technology protects both the Miele machine itself and the user's repair.

Bottom line

So, one of the most popular codes that the machine displays on the screen, indicating a malfunction, is the SUD error. It means increased foam formation inside the drum.

As a rule, the owner of the device does not have to call a technician. Such a malfunction indicates improper use of the powder or a clogged drain system.

In some cases, the SUD error code indicates a malfunction of the foam sensor or pressure switch. The first one cannot be repaired; you should call a specialist to replace it; the second one can be changed on your own.

In the rarest situations, this error occurs when the control unit is faulty. In this situation, you should call a qualified technician from the service center to diagnose and carry out repair work.

Step-by-step instructions for resolving error 5d

Signs of error 5d (SD, SUD) in Samsung SM

Help measures

There is a noticeable amount of foam in the washing machine, it operates in a modified mode, it may pause and be in standby mode.	Do not turn off the machine, allowing it to cope on its own. To speed up the process, you can press the Start/Pause button
The car has finally gone into standby mode, there is so much foam that it “crawls out” outside the hatch door.	Stop the washing process by turning off the SM. Carry out an emergency drain using the appropriate hose, clean the drain filter and run the device once without powder and things. When you subsequently start the work program, use only a high-quality product in a minimum sufficient quantity. It must be remembered that when washing porous or cellular items (tulle curtains) or fluffy items (sweaters, rugs), a very large amount of foam is formed, therefore, the amount of powder or gel must be reduced significantly.
Everything is observed, but foaming does not decrease.	Inspect the foam sensor, clean it, and replace if necessary. Inspect, clean or replace the pump. Wash the drain filter. Diagnose the pressure switch and control unit.

What to do if you get an error Sd (5d) or Sud (5ud) in a Samsung machine

It's easy to fix error 5d (Sd) or 5ud (Sud) in a Samsung machine. First, determine the size of the foam formation in the drum. If there is a lot of soap and the lid does not contain it, you need to wait until the foam settles. Disabling it will not help in this case. After stopping the wash, check the drain filter. If it is clogged, then clean it. Run the device without clothes or powder. This is necessary so that the remaining foam is washed off the walls of the tank.

The second option is medium foaming. In this case, you need to stop the process and remove the clothes from the tank. Next, use the automatic water drain option and look at the condition of the filter. Here it is also recommended to turn on the unit without soap and clothing. There shouldn't be any mistakes next time. Watch the signals on the display. Write down fault codes. This will make it easier for the technician to fix the problem. The instructions also contain all the names and numerical codes of breakdowns.

When you need to call a specialist

You will need to involve a professional in solving the problem if:

• The SD error on the display has not disappeared, and there is no foam in the drum. The cause may be a faulty foam sensor. The sensor needs to be replaced.
• Error 5D appears after starting the Samsung washing machine or during the washing process, which stops after the code pops up. The reason is a breakdown in the water level sensor. We need to replace it.
• The washing machine takes a long time to drain the water without powder, but with powder it gives an error. The cause is debris clogged in the drain hose or drain. To remove the error, you need to clean them.
• When starting the washing machine, washing or rinsing, error 5D lights up. Sometimes it indicates a malfunction of the control unit. Most often the block needs to be replaced.

Resetting errors from the Samsung SM display is sometimes done by simply pressing the “Start” button after the foam from the detergent has settled.

If all the proposed measures did not help fix the operation of the washing machine, contact a repairman.

Decoding

Error 5D indicates excessive foam formation. It appears when there is too much of it in the drum.

Smart technology displays the 5D code on the screen and turns on the soap bubble suppression mode . Notice that there is more foam in the machine than is usually possible even without the 5D code.

It will be visible through the glass. Sometimes it leaks out of the detergent dispenser. If code 5d appears on the screen, but no excess foam is observed, then the reason lies in a problem with the equipment itself.

Prevention

To prevent your Samsung washing machine from displaying error 5d in the future, you need to take the following preventive measures:

• do not use excess amounts of powder, strictly follow the recommendations for its dosage;
• when washing fur and porous items, reduce the amount of detergent;
• do not put powder intended for hand washing into the machine;
• remove all small parts from pockets and shake out debris before loading into the drum - this will avoid clogging the filter and drain hose.

Causes

So, we found out that the error Sd (5d) of the Samsung washing machine reports a large amount of foam in the drum. Now let's figure out why this malfunction occurs.

There are several reasons for this error, the most common of which are:

• using the wrong powder. Do not use detergents intended for hand washing in your washing machine as they may cause excessive foaming. Only products marked “automatic” are suitable for machine washing;
• use of highly concentrated detergents;
• using more detergent than recommended by the manufacturer. For example, woolen products require a lower dosage than cotton laundry;
• use of low-quality or counterfeit detergents;
• dirty drain filter;
• foam sensor malfunction;
• breakdown of the pressure switch;
• malfunction of the control module.

When using detergents, you must strictly follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer. As a rule, 2 tbsp is enough to wash 6 kg of dry laundry. l. powder

Information code Sd (5d) can appear at any stage of the wash cycle. Often this code is for informational purposes only and does not require intervention in the operation of the device. In most cases, it is enough to wait 5-10 minutes and make sure that the machine has resumed operation. In some models, after the foam has settled, you need to press the “Start” button again for the unit to continue the washing cycle.

To avoid damaging your washing machine, try to purchase proven detergents from well-known manufacturers.

Porous and fluffy fabrics promote increased foaming. When washing items made from such materials, powder should be poured twice as much as the standard amount.

Helpful information

Tips that will be useful to all owners of Samsung washing machines:

1. If a new powder was used for washing, and after using it, error 5D was displayed, it may be due to the poor quality of the composition. It is recommended not to use this product so as not to damage the washing machine.
2. If the device is under warranty and the breakdown is not related to external factors, you need to contact a Samsung service center. The manufacturer must correct the defect at his own expense.
3. Private craftsmen are required to provide paper with a stamp and signature. It must indicate the price, describe the service and note the warranty period.
4. If you have the appropriate skills, you can buy and replace a failed part yourself. This will save a significant amount of money.
