Samsung Washer SUd Code: Too Many Suds

Updated

Short answer

Samsung says SUd (Sd, 5Ud) on a washer means the washer has detected an over-sudsing condition and stops for a short time to let suds dissipate, then continues. Samsung's first step: let the cycle continue; it resumes automatically. Samsung says this code does not indicate service is needed; it is caused by incorrect use of detergent. No repair. If suds also trigger leak codes, see the LE guide (2026 cost guide).

What SUd (Sd, 5Ud) means
