They collected dirty laundry and plunged it inside their indispensable domestic assistant. We selected the necessary mode and launched it. After a short period of time, we found that the device was not working, and a problem was displayed on the screen with a combination of SUD, 5D or SD characters. Looking closely at the typewriter, you can observe the portrayal of the characteristic excessive process of foaming. In addition, foam can seep through a special dispenser for special products (powders). Or maybe it does not exist at all. The main thing is to determine the cause of the problem.
Breakdown value
In the modifications of Samsung washing machines, in which the manufacturer has placed a sensor for controlling the amount of formation of foam, a foam suppression process automatically occurs. But if the device could not cope on its own, and the level of foam has not decreased, then on its screen malfunction 5D / SUD / SD is reproduced. As a result, the unit stopped the washing process until the level of foam drops itself. Such a breakdown indicates that the foam level has not automatically decreased, therefore, the unit suspended the current program and usually the foam settles on its own during the delay.
SUD / 5D / SD malfunction, how to fix it without resorting to professional intervention
Such a malfunction mainly notifies you that the current process has stopped. 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. And the device didn’t work like that, then you should follow these recommendations:
- Inspect the filter located in the drain system. If it is clogged, the foam will not be able to leave 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 bottom panel). If you did not find it yourself, then review the instruction manual for your device.
- Perhaps you, through your carelessness, poured low-quality powder into a special dispenser, or a product that is not designed for use in automatic mode. In no case should you use a powder designed for handwashing.
- Control the amount of powder that you put in a special dispenser. It should not be more than the specified norm.
- If you loaded downy or overly voluminous items into the machine, then fill in a smaller amount of detergent.
If after a while a breakdown with the combination of SUD, 5D or SD continues to appear on the display, what needs to be done to fix it
If suddenly your assistant does not continue the current suspended washing process, then you must definitely stop it. Force shut off the previously launched mode, drain the water, reset the previously selected modes and open the porthole, and then remove the wet underwear. Re-clean the filter. After this procedure, it is necessary to start the washing program, the drum should be empty in order to wash the unit from the remnants of the detergent and clean its entire drainage system (the selected program must be at least 60 ° C).
Fulfilled all the recommendations? The unit did not work adequately? Does the problem continue to be displayed on its screen? Call a washing machine repair specialist. You cannot fix such a breakdown on your own.
