What does error 5d mean on a Samsung washing machine?
A major manufacturer of household appliances, Samsung, cares not only about its products, but also about consumers. So, washing machines from this company contain program codes that are displayed on the machine’s display if an error occurs. Such codes provide enough useful information to understand the cause and resolve the problem. We suggest you familiarize yourself with error 5d on a Samsung washing machine, the reasons for its occurrence and preventive measures.
Decoding error 5d
There are a lot of models of washing machines produced under the Samsung brand. Most of them have the same error code names. However, there are codes that indicate the same error. For example, codes 5d, sud or sudS are different names for the same error.
Error 5d on a Samsung washing machine means that too much foam has formed inside the drum.
Causes
Increased foaming in the washing machine can be caused by the following reasons:
- Instead of automatic washing powder, hand washing powder was used. Hand washing powder foams very much. Powders labeled “automatic” contain foam stabilizers that reduce excessive foam formation. This is necessary so that foam does not get on the electric motor and does not come out.
- The “Avtomat” powder used for washing turned out to be of poor quality.
- Exceeding the required amount of powder for one wash cycle.
Elimination and precautions
Error 5d generally does not require any action to be taken. Usually the machine automatically removes the foam or waits for it to settle. Then the washing continues.In some models, to actively remove foam, you need to press the “Start (Pause)” button on the machine panel.
To prevent such an error from occurring, you need to use only highly effective powders or liquid laundry detergents. At the same time, there must be a note on the packaging stating that the product is suitable for automatic machines.
Important! Be sure to look at the detergent packaging to see how much powder is recommended for one wash cycle.
The correct dosage will not only protect the machine, but also save money. Remember that if you add more powder, it does not necessarily wash your clothes better. Therefore, always use a measuring cup when pouring powder into the washing machine.
If you do everything correctly, but the error still appears, try pouring a little less powder the next time you wash it. If this does not lead to the desired result, then you should seek advice from professionals from the Samsung service center.
Error 5d on the washing machine display is not critical. In most cases, it is eliminated within a few minutes. There are more serious error codes that appear during washing, you can find them in the article: Samsung washing machine error codes. And also watch the video.

We added a minimum of powder, and both liquid and dry, the error still constantly appears on the display at the end of the wash before rinsing!
Me too.I think this is the problem with such models in principle.
I ran it at 95 degrees without linen and powder (on cotton). The machine ran without errors or glitches, but when loaded it again gave error 5d. Heating elements, pumps, drainage systems are in order and so is the belt. What to do?
You need to open the small door on the right side, remove the small hose, unscrew and drain the water. Turn the filter counterclockwise, a lot of water may run out, I also cleaned the passage where all the debris goes to the filter. Clean the filter itself.
Clean the filter at the bottom of the machine and there will be no problems.
Everything is fine!
Error 5d got me. I pulled out the filter with pliers and at first I didn’t realize that it was one solid stone. After cleaning everything works great!
This error was there for 2 days, I started cleaning the filter. There was a man's sock there. Question: how did he get there? And can this happen again in a subsequent wash?
