S.E. Toth,
The Samsung error code D5 or DS is the same. The D5 error is actually DS. The code means the Samsung washing machine thinks the door is open or unlocked during the cycle. The door has to be checked to be sure it is shutting or closing correctly. Is it getting properly closed? The problem is related to faulty door locking assembly. You will need to check the door switch to confirm it is faulty. Let us know what you find.

My Samsung washing machine WA82VNL model ‘6.5 kg top loading’ is facing a defect. The washing machine is continuously running. The timing while in operation in reducing from 28 mins to 5 mins but again goes to 20 mins and the cycle continues till the time i do not stop it. Seems there is some major issue. Can you help me?
I have a Samsung top loader –Model number WA50F9A8DSP/A2.
The water comes on to fill the tub when the start button is pressed and stays on through out the cycle. So even when the machine is spin drying the water is still running. Water goes off at the end of wash cycle and the drum is filled with water. The correct sequence for the past few years should be press the start button then select wash mode then hit start and the door locks and the machine starts the cycle and water shuts off once filled.
Nolan,
The ‘5E’ Error is displayed when the water is not draining properly from the Washing Machine. If the water doe snot drain in 15 minutes, a buzzer will sound, and the remaining time indicator will show ‘5E’ Error. Check all aspects of the washer drain pump, motor, and drain hose. Something is clogged and not letting the water drain out.
