The Samsung washer sud code is an error code that indicates that there are too many suds in the washer. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as using too much detergent, using the wrong type of detergent, or not properly draining the washer after the cycle. When this error code occurs, it is important to remove all of the suds from the washer and start the cycle again.
