My top loading washer has an error code of Sd, don't know what that means??

SOURCE: Kenmore Oasis HE Washer

problem started when washer started itself up twice in the middle of the night....after that the washer seems to have problems figuring out what it wants to do...when running a wash it will start, run for 2 minutes then start scanning numbers...it does not land on a code...it will spin, stop, start...sears has replaced the mother board 3 times....and we will be phoning them again as it has not fixed the problem..one other time it did not spin properly and clothes were wet...we have a dedicated surge protector on it...we have had our electrical checked and no problems there...sears confirmed that as well..the techs have given up on it and don't know what to do with anymore...it is still under warranty and now costing sears more to service it then replace it....time for them to do the right thing and "take it back"...very disappointed in this washer...wish me luck when i call them again...they must be sick of hearing from me....lol

Hi shawn833, 

F17 Turn the tap on fully, check that the supply hose is not kinked/jammed; clean filter. Also check water pressure is not too low If all these test ok you need to run a load with no clothes with 1 cup of white vinegar this will solve your issue.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Error 5d/Sd means too much detergent was used. Try the following procedure---

- 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. If still the problem persists, then please check the following things--

1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check wire harness connections to the drain pump, pressure switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU).
4. Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects.
5. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. Check drain pump.
7. Check the pressure switch.
8. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle.

Please accept the solution if the issue is resolved post a comment for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

Hi, well this Beeping, simply indicates a "Fault" however it gives NO indication of what? It maybe a sensor, the main board, the motor? but it could be many many things unfortunately. What you need to do is either DIY troubleshoot or call a professional, it is really that simple.

above is a DIY help website to assist you in troubleshooting, use the manual to isolate and hopefully repair your unit.
However if you don't wish to DIY the to get the best and cheapest outcome, is to contact an F&P local or head office, and ask for a referral to an authorised service center, now when in contact here ask for a service call, however ONLY ask for a "Quote" as to costings, now when you are appraised of these then one can make up ones mind as to what to do, repair or replace?

SOURCE: What does SD error code

Hi

Error code SD/5d means LONG DRAIN. This error appears when the drain time exceeds 8 minutes and the water valves turn off. After 4 minutes the "Sd" error will be displayed, and then 4 minutes later the F21 error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display. Please Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. If the drain hose if fine then unplug the washer and check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects. To access the drain pump and filter remove the front kick panel and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the washer, drain pump would be located there. If you are not able to access it, then replace the back panel as well. Plug in washer or reconnect power. If the issue is still not resolved then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
