    How to Fix Samsung Washer Error 5d

    Problem: Excessive suds detected

    How to Fix 5d Error

    1. This is an alias for the ‘SUd’ code, meaning the machine has detected too many suds.
    2. Do not interrupt the cycle. The washer will automatically try to break down the suds by pausing and adding rinses.
    3. To prevent this, always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent and use the correct amount for your load size and water hardness.
    4. After the cycle, run an empty ‘Clean Washer’ or ‘Rinse & Spin’ cycle to clear out any residue.

    How to Fix Samsung Washer Error 7E

    Problem: SilverCare system error (older models)

    How to Fix 7E Error

    1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This error is for older models equipped with a ‘SilverCare’ system, indicating a failure in that specific system.
    2. The SilverCare control unit is a separate electronic part. Accessing it usually requires removing the top or front panel of the washer.
    3. Locate the SilverCare control kit, check its wire connections. If connections are secure, the unit has failed.

    Problem: Calibration mode active

    How to Fix Cb Error

    1. This is not an error. It means the washer is in ‘Calibration Mode’.
    2. Calibration should be run after installation or a repair to ensure the weight detection system is accurate. The tub will rotate back and forth slowly for a few minutes.
    3. Allow the calibration cycle to complete on its own. Do not interrupt it.
    4. If you entered this mode by accident, you can typically cancel it by turning the power off and on again.

    How to Fix Samsung Washer Error E9

    Problem: Water leakage (legacy code)

    How to Fix E9 Error

    1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This is a legacy code indicating a water leak or a drain issue.
    2. First, check the drain pump filter for clogs (located behind the small door at the bottom-front of the washer). Have a towel and pan ready for water.
    3. If the filter is clear, check the drain hose for kinks.
    4. If the drain system is clear, this may be a leak detection error. Tilt the machine forward to drain any water from the base pan, which can reset the sensor. If the error returns, you have an active leak that must be found and repaired.

    How to Fix Samsung Washer Error PE1

    Problem: Clutch hall sensor error

    How to Fix PE1 Error

    1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This error points to a failure of the Hall sensor on the clutch motor assembly (on applicable top-load models).
