Get message 5d on display

The 5d code is actually an Sd code and it means suds have been detected in the washer. This can indicate to much soap or the wrong kind of soap was used in the washer. Be sure HE detergent is being used. If can also indicate the drain pump is restricted or the drain hose is kinked.

My kenmore he2 plus washer gave me a 5d code and door locked ...

The 5d error on most front-load washers is a Suds error. This can be caused by using too much detergent, a non-high efficiency washer detergent, foreign objects in the pump filter, or a problem with the pump or water pressure switch.

First look in the window of the machine while it's running, do you see a lot of suds? If so, remove the clothing from the machine. Then run the washer while it's empty without additional detergent. You may need to do this a few times to rinse the excess detergent. Then try washing the removed clothes again without adding more detergent to clean them.

Next, open the washer and look for the pump filter. Remove any foreign objects. Look at the impeller and the pump and make sure that nothing is in that section of the washer.

To check if the pressure switch is sending faulty information to the main control of the washer, unplug the washer. Remove the top and find the pressure switch (probably on the left rear of the machine). Remove the hose from the bottom of the switch and blow into it. If the hose is clear, then the pressure switch should be replaced first.

If you add a comment with the model number of the HE2 Plus washer, I will be able to provide the parts diagram showing the pump and filter. I'll also be able to point to replacement parts. Most Kenmore appliance parts diagrams are available at searspartsdirect.com .

I hope this helps.

This code indicates that excessive detergent suds occurred during the cycle. The washer will not be able to spin out water with the excess suds. When "Sd" is displayed, the washer automatically extends the rinse time to remove the excess suds. During this time, the washer pauses the wash action and adds water for additional rinsing. This pause allows the bubbles in the suds to break. This process is necessary and may occur several times to eliminate the suds.
Concentrated detergents labeled 2x and higher will require a small amount of detergent based on load size. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Kenmore He2 washing machine washer drain problem fixed

5d is suds warning. The motor is being overworked from too much suds caused by improper measurements or detergent or both.
Cabrio service manual is on my service manual page

Run your washer without detergent a few times. Remember this washer uses less water than a normal washer it has 2 pumps. one recirculates a small amount of water over them clothes. You go adding in a regular amount of clothes and that washer fancy electronics gonna have a cow.

The washer is detecting too much soap. Make sure that you are using HE (high efficiency) soap Do a clean washer or hot cycle once a month with bleach or white vinegar with no clothes in it. Your washer only uses half the water that a regular machine does. The HE is specially designed for front loaders and these types of machines

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

Error code 5d/Sd means suds have been detected. To solve this problem you have to take the bottom front panel apart and then clean the drain filter pump assembly completely, make sure the washer is unplugged before working on it. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

5d or Sd means too much detergent was used. Try the following

Run the unit through a RINSE/SPIN cycle.
Run a NORMAL cycle without adding any detergent.

This should clear the unit of the excess detergent.
