How to Fix UE Error in Washing Machine
The UE error code on your washing machine stands for 'Unbalanced Error'. This occurs when the internal sensors detect that the laundry load is unevenly distributed, preventing the drum from spinning safely at high speeds.
How to Clear the UE Error
- Pause the wash cycle and wait for the door to unlock safely.
- Open the drum and manually redistribute the wet 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 towels to balance the weight.
- Ensure the machine is placed on a flat, level surface and that all four leveling feet are firmly touching the floor.
- Close the door securely and press the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Check if the machine is overloaded; remove excess items if the drum is packed too tightly.
- Verify that the transit bolts (used during installation) have been completely removed.
- Inspect the floor beneath the machine to ensure it is not slippery or uneven.
- Run a 'Spin Only' cycle after redistributing the load to see if the error clears.
Always turn off the power supply and unplug the machine before inspecting the base or leveling feet to avoid electrical shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ignore the UE error and let the machine finish?
No, ignoring the UE error can cause the drum to vibrate violently, potentially damaging the suspension springs, shock absorbers, or the outer tub of your machine.
Why does my machine show UE even with a small load?
A very small load can also cause an imbalance because the clothes may clump together on one side of the drum. Adding a few extra items can help balance the weight.
What if the UE error persists after I redistribute the clothes?
If the error continues, there may be a fault with the suspension system, the motor sensor, or the main control board, which requires professional inspection.
Does a floor mat under the machine cause UE errors?
Yes, placing a washing machine on a rubber mat or a thick rug can make it unstable. The machine should always be placed on a hard, level, and non-slip surface.
