How to Fix 'UP' Error in Samsung Washing Machine
The 'UP' error code on your Samsung washing machine typically indicates an unbalanced load, which prevents the drum from spinning safely. This often happens when clothes clump together or the machine is not placed on a level surface.
How to Redistribute Your Laundry
- Pause the washing cycle and wait for the door to unlock safely.
- Open the drum and manually redistribute the clothes so they are spread evenly around the interior.
- If you are washing a single heavy item like a blanket or rug, add a few smaller items to help balance the weight.
- Close the door firmly and press the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Check if the washing machine is sitting level on the floor; adjust the leveling feet if the machine wobbles.
- Ensure you have not overloaded the drum beyond the manufacturer's recommended capacity.
- Inspect the drum for any foreign objects or loose items that might be causing an imbalance.
- Run a 'Spin Only' cycle to see if the machine completes the process without returning the error.
Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before reaching into the machine or inspecting the leveling feet to avoid electrical shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the UP error mean my washing machine is broken?
Not necessarily. In most cases, it is simply a sensor alert indicating that the laundry load is unevenly distributed.
Can I ignore the UP error and let the machine finish?
No, you should not ignore it. Running the machine while unbalanced can cause excessive vibration, which may damage the suspension springs or the motor over time.
What if the UP error persists after I redistribute the clothes?
If the error continues, there may be an issue with the suspension system or the weight sensors. In this case, it is best to contact a professional technician for an inspection.
