GUIDANCE

Meaning explained for error UE

LG defines UE for this washing machine coverage as: The washer could not balance the load for spinning. The code is a diagnostic starting point, not proof that a particular component has failed.

Safe sequence

  1. 1Pause the cycle and redistribute items evenly.
  2. 2Add or remove items so the load is neither a single heavy item nor extremely small.
  3. 3Check the washer feet and level the cabinet according to the installation guide.

Stop and get qualified help when

  • The drum bangs violently even with an ordinary balanced load
  • The washer moves across the floor
  • The error returns on every normal load after leveling
