Samsung Washing Machine SUd / 5UD / Sd / 5d / SUdS / 5Ud5 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: No action needed — cycle resumes automatically

These codes mean your Samsung washing machine detected an over-sudsing condition and has paused the cycle to allow the suds to break down before continuing. The cycle will resume automatically and the code does not indicate a fault with the washer. It is caused by using too much detergent, the wrong type of detergent, or non-HE detergent in a high-efficiency washer. Switching to the correct HE detergent and using the recommended amount will prevent this from recurring.

Common causes

Too much detergent was added to the washer
Non-HE detergent is being used in a high-efficiency washing machine
Detergent residue has built up inside the drum from repeated over-use

How to fix it

1

Wait for the cycle to resume automatically — it will continue once the suds have dissipated
2

Do not add more detergent or interrupt the cycle while the code is displayed
3

After the cycle is complete switch to HE detergent and follow the recommended dosage on the packaging
4

Run a drum clean cycle to remove any detergent residue buildup
5

If over-sudsing persists reduce the amount of detergent used per cycle
