Washing machines LG Error UE

What does this failure in LG washing machines mean?

Hello! How are you? I don't know if you know, but in the world of appliances, LG washers stand out for their technology and reliability. Without a doubt, LG is one of the best brands in the world when it comes to appliances and home devices. However, even the best appliances can experience problems, as evidenced by the UE error code.

This code is a warning that the load inside the washer is heavily unbalanced, which can cause excessive vibrations and affect the equipment's performance. Generally, this problem occurs during the washing or spinning cycle and can also indicate that the washer is sitting on an unstable floor.

This failure is not just an inconvenience; it's a call to action to prevent damage to the washer and ensure that our clothes are washed effectively. Understanding the causes and solutions of this error is important for any LG washer user, so let's now see what the causes of this problem are:

• Unbalanced load inside the washer: If the laundry is distributed unevenly, it can cause imbalance during washing, especially during spinning. Remember that wet comforters tend to be heavy, and this could be the cause of imbalance in the drum.
• An unstable floor for the washer: An uneven surface where the washer is located can contribute to significant imbalance. It could also happen that you don't see an imbalance as such, and that using a level you see everything perfect, but the floor is indeed unstable when the washer starts the washing or spinning process, causing this error to appear on the screen.
• Broken suspension or dampers: Worn components may fail to stabilize the washer during critical moments of washing and spinning. You will need to check these components and ensure they are in good working condition.
• Misaligned washer drum: Although rare as it may seem, a drum that is not properly aligned can cause a noticeable problem in your LG washer.

These are the causes that make this error appear on the screen, but don't worry, because now we're going to see how you're going to fix this problem right away.

Could a solution be found for the UE error failure in the LG washer?

Let's leave here a list of solutions so you can fix this issue as soon as possible and continue using your LG washer normally:

1. Turn off and unplug the LG washer from the power source for a few minutes: This is the first step for any technical intervention, ensuring that temporary errors, false positives, and risks are ruled out when handling it. To do this, you would need to completely turn off the washer and disconnect it from the power outlet for about 15 to 20 minutes. This will reset the sensors and your washer completely, putting it back into operation smoothly. Once the time has passed, reconnect the washer and turn it on to check if the error code has disappeared. If the fault persists, then we'll have to delve a little deeper into your washer's problem.
2. Redistribute the load of clothing inside the LG washer: Open the washer door and redistribute the clothes evenly to balance the drum. It often happens that during the washing cycle, the laundry aligns more to one side depending on its own weight, causing imbalance during the spinning cycle. Please adjust the clothes evenly inside the drum, and if you have a comforter that tends to weigh a lot when wet, adjust it well and distribute it along the drum rather than piled up or clumped in one place. After performing this procedure, you'll most likely need to reset your washer. To do this, go back to step 1, and if the problem persists, then proceed directly to step 3.
3. Check and adjust the leveling of the washer, thoroughly inspect the floor where it's installed: Use a level to ensure that the washer is perfectly leveled and adjust its feet if necessary. If you notice that the washer is well-leveled, then check the floor where it's located. It often happens that when the floor is ceramic, the base is not solid enough, and it may yield when pressed or when a washer is spinning on top of it. Other types of flooring can also be problematic, if you think this might be your case, then move the washer to another location and check if the error has disappeared.
4. Inspect the dampers and suspension of your LG washer: Check if these components show signs of wear and replace them if necessary. If the dampers and suspension fail, the washer will not be able to level properly during its washing and spinning tasks.
5. Do not overload the LG washer with clothes, as not all models accept the same amount of laundry: Consult the user manual of your LG washer and verify the appropriate load of laundry to use it correctly. Do not overload your washer with clothes, as this can have long-term consequences, damaging the dampers, suspension, and misaligning the drum.
6. Check the alignment of the drum of the LG washer: If you suspect that the drum of your washer is misaligned, you may need the assistance of a qualified technician or LG technical support to adjust it, as they have the proper tools to solve this problem. In very extreme cases, you may need to replace the drum of your washer.
7. If the problem persists, review all the aforementioned steps: Sometimes, an additional review can help identify the problem that was overlooked. Make sure you have followed all the steps to the letter and have not skipped any of the steps mentioned in this guide of tips. If the problem still persists, then we recommend leaving the issue in the hands of experts in the field.
8. Call LG technical support and arrange for a home visit: Not only LG technical support, but a qualified and trusted technician could help you solve this problem. Of course, you can make this call only after reviewing all the steps described above in this guide and being sure that you will not be able to solve the problem yourself. If the problem persists, the most prudent thing would be to contact LG technical support for a professional and thorough review.
