UE
UE stands for "Unbalanced Load". Your washing machine senses that the clothes inside are unevenly distributed, causing excessive vibrations and potentially damaging the machine. Think of it as your washer crying out for balance!
Possible Causes of the UE Error:
- Overloading:
- Too many clothes crammed into the drum can throw off the balance.
- Single heavy item:
- A bulky item like a bathrobe or blanket can dominate the drum, causing imbalance.
- Uneven distribution:
- Clothes clumped together on one side can disrupt the weight balance.
- Internal issues:
- In rare cases, worn-out drum springs or worn-out shock absorbers can contribute to imbalance issues.
Troubleshooting the UE error code in Samsung Washing Machine
- Redistribute the load:
- Open the door and rearrange the clothes, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the drum.
- Remove heavy items:
- Take out bulky items and wash them separately to avoid imbalance.
- Add smaller items:
- If the load is too light, add a few smaller items like towels or t-shirts to help balance the weight.
- Run a spin cycle:
- After redistributing, try running a spin cycle to see if the balance is restored.
