Whirlpool washer code 5d. To ensure your clothes get thoroughly cleaned in your washing machine, you want it to complete a full cycle.
If something goes awry and the machine turns on the water supply before completing a cycle or during the rinse/spin cycles, this could result in increased foaming.
What’s wrong? Too much foam. Because there’s too much foam, the display on a Whirlpool Cabrio washer has error code 5d and shows an alarm icon signaling an excessive amount of soap solution in the drum. In this article, our guide helps you to remove this error.
Whirlpool washer code 5d
A Whirlpool Cabrio 5D error code means that the washer is detecting too much soap suds. If there’s an overflow, stop the machine and turn off the water supply.
The error code could also be attributed to a defective fuse or drain line clogging up the system which might necessitate a call to a professional if you do not wish to take any chances with your property’s safety.
We’re listing here some of the more common problems that are likely to cause this particular error code and what you should do about them.
Clogged drain system
When you spot a code 5d error during the washing cycle, this means that your washer isn’t doing its job properly. The first thing to do is to check for blockages in the hoses nor pipes or external sewer lines.
You can clear them and see if the error code goes away, but unplugging the power first is necessary to make sure there aren’t any nasty electrical shocks involved.
If the error continues after that, there could be other problems as well. It might be time to take it to a specialist who will know exactly how to fix it.
The damaged water pressure controller
If your washing machine refuses to turn on after inserting the selected mode, it might be a sign that the pressure switch is broken.
Sometimes the equipment may stop in the middle of a wash cycle so testing with a multimeter to identify the problem and eliminate it may be necessary.
The last resort would be to reset the pressure switch. To get to it, unplug the machine and disconnect any hoses before turning off the water at its source.
Defective control board
If none of the above works and you still get a 5d error on the screen, there might be something wrong with the central unit.
Inspect all of the pin connections and then check for any physical damage to the circuit board itself. If there are any burnt or melted spots, it’s time to replace that item.
Check drain hose for kinks
The soap dispenser on your washing machine is “out of soap.” Your washer will attempt to resume the cycle but something may be clogging up the pump hose.
If you’ve used a non-HE detergent and it’s possible that you have too much detergent in the machine, the pump could be clogged.
Usage non-HE detergent
The manufacturer has assigned this error or fault code to indicate that there may be too many suds in the machine. Suds are the foam caused by agitation of the detergent.
If a non-HE detergent is used, or too much detergent is used, this problem can occur. The machine will automatically try to reduce the suds by adding a rinse cycle but if it can’t reduce the suds enough it may pause the cycle.
In some instances, this error code displays if the pump or drain line is clogged or if the pump is defective.
