GUIDANCE

If the code returns for error UE

If UE returns after an accessible check, do not keep resetting the appliance. Record when it appears, stop at any unsafe condition, and use the model-specific service path.

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
