Samsung Washer · Code SUd / Sd / 5d / 5Ud / SUdS

Samsung Washer SUd code: Too many suds

The washer detected excess suds and paused to let them break down before continuing. Samsung notes this is not a fault by itself and the cycle usually resumes on its own.

Most common causes

  1. Using regular (non-HE) detergent
  2. Using too much detergent
  3. Detergent residue built up in the drum or dispenser
  4. Slow drain that keeps suds from clearing

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Let the washer finish its suds-removal routine; do not open the door.
  2. Use only HE detergent and measure it to the line for your load size.
  3. Run a Self Clean or empty hot rinse to clear built-up residue.

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.

What does SUd mean on a Samsung Washer?
