I have a front loader whirlpool duet #ghw9100lw2

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.

remove the lower panel on the machine and you will see the water pump and right next to the pump you will see a drain plug --- turn the plug counter-clockwise and unscrew it. let it drain,, and clean out any blockage that may be in there. after it is clean,, re-install the plug and start the wash cycle,, this should solve your problem.
if you are still having troubles - please feel free to write me back here,, Ii will do my best to walk you through any steps needed.

First check your washer plug to see if the connections are tightly screwed. Next check your filter if you haven't for long.

Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front panel under the washer door. Your filter door will be light brown. If you find a hose there it is to drain out excess water (water that could not be drained by your pump) After you hv drained unscrew the cap and remove all the junk inside. Have a large plastic bag to catch junk and water. Refit carefully after cleaning out. If not solved, something shd be blocking your pump, check this out

How abt a nice rating for the free help? Thnks

Change your motor control board will fix the problem.
Good luck

Mine too- then it says dL error! what is that!

O.K. Is the water draining out properly? If the filter is blocked then your washing will be churning in dirty water as the machine will drain for a maximum time then rinse etc. in the used water.

Careful of overloading the front-loading washers. Too much of this will result in the bearings in the drum to go bad. When this happens, the rpms on the drum slow down due to belt slack. You can only see this with the back off of the unit and in the middle of the cycle. They do not sell replacement bearings...you'll have to buy the whole drum (bearings pressed inside) and for 1/2 the cost of a new washer. I hate front-loaders. I'll never buy one again.

no such thing as "reset teh washer" what you can do is check your pump assembly for clogs. remove the lower acees panel (3 screws across the bottom of front panel) behind there youll find a cleanout for the pump, perhaps a baby sock, or other small debris has gotten in preventing complete draining of unit

i would open the door nad with your hand (glove on if preferred), feel around the intereior of drom for prhaps a nails, or hair clip that has gotten caught in one of the many holes in tub

replace your belt in back easy.every year if still has smell buy warranty your rear bearing is going bad."less soap plz"
