If your Samsung washer is flashing an Error Code SUD / 5UD, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t always mean a serious problem. This common message signals there’s too much detergent suds inside the machine. Fortunately, in many cases, it’s something you can fix on your own. But if it persists, don’t worry—our local Express Repair team is ready to help with same-day service near you.
The Error Code SUD / 5UD appears when the washer detects excessive sudsing. This typically happens because:
Samsung washers are built to pause the cycle and wait until suds reduce on their own. However, if it happens repeatedly, there could be an underlying issue.
Before calling for service, here are a few steps you can take:
The washer may stop the cycle temporarily to let the suds break down. It usually resumes in a few minutes.
This can help remove excess soap residue left in the drum.
Only use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent. These produce fewer suds and are designed for modern washers.
A clogged filter can prevent proper drainage, causing a backup of suds. Locate and clean the drain filter (usually behind a small door at the bottom front of the machine).
More soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes. In fact, it can leave a buildup and cause damage over time. Follow the detergent instructions carefully.
If the error keeps coming back, even after trying the steps above, it’s likely there’s a sensor issue, drainage problem, or internal blockage. In that case, it’s best to have it checked by a professional.
