What does error 5d mean on a Samsung washing machine?
Major home appliance manufacturer Samsung cares not only about its products but also about its customers. For example, Samsung washing machines are equipped with software codes that appear on the machine's display when an error occurs. These codes provide sufficient information to understand the cause and resolve the issue. We suggest you familiarize yourself with error code 5d on your Samsung washing machine, its causes, and preventative measures.
Error 5d decoding
There are many models of washing machines produced under the Samsung brand. Most of them have the same error code names. However, some codes 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 of occurrence
Excessive foaming in the washing machine may be caused by the following reasons:
- Instead of machine washing powder, I used hand washing powder. Hand washing powder produces a lot of foam. Powders labeled "machine washing" contain foam stabilizers that reduce excessive foaming. This prevents foam from getting into the electric motor and escaping.
- The "Avtomat" powder used for washing turned out to be of low quality.
- Exceeding the required amount of powder for one washing cycle.
Troubleshooting and precautions
Error 5d generally does not require any action. Typically, the machine automatically removes the suds or waits for it to settle. Then the wash cycle continues. On some models, you can actively remove suds by pressing the "Start (Pause)" button on the control panel.
To prevent this error, use only high-performance powder or liquid laundry detergents. The packaging must clearly indicate that the detergent is suitable for automatic washing machines.
Important! Be sure to check the detergent packaging to see how much powder is recommended for one wash cycle.
Proper dosing will not only protect your machine but also save you money. Remember, adding more detergent doesn't necessarily mean it will clean your laundry better. Therefore, always use a measuring cup when pouring powder into the washing machine.
If you've done everything correctly and the error still occurs, try using slightly less detergent the next time you wash. If this doesn't produce the desired result, you should consult with a professional at a Samsung service center.
Error 5d on your washing machine's display isn't critical. In most cases, it resolves within a few minutes. There are more serious error codes that appear during washing, which you can read about in this article: Samsung washing machine error codes. And also watch the video.

We added a minimum amount of powder, and whether it was liquid or dry, the error still constantly appeared on the display at the end of the wash before rinsing!
Me too. I think that's the problem with these types of models in general.
I ran the machine at 95 degrees without laundry or detergent (on cotton). The machine washed without errors or glitches, but after loading it, it returned error 5d. The heating element, pumps, drainage systems, and the belt are all fine. What should I do?
You need to open the small door on the right side, remove the small hose, unscrew it, and drain the water. Turn the filter counterclockwise; a lot of water may leak out. I also cleared the passage where all the debris enters the filter. Clean the filter itself.
Clean the filter at the bottom of the machine and there won't be any problems.
Everything is fine!
Error 5d was driving me nuts. I was trying to pull out the filter with pliers and at first I didn't realize what was wrong with it—it was just a solid rock. After cleaning it, everything works perfectly!
This error persisted for two days, so I started cleaning the filter. A man's sock was found in it. How did it get there? And could it happen again in the next wash?
