Ue error in Samsung washing machine

If the Samsung washing machine suddenly stops working, then an error code on its display will tell you what happened. Having understood the cause of the breakdown, you can try to solve the problem yourself, and if this is something serious, then call the wizard. In this article, we will tell you what to do when a UE error occurs on a Samsung washing machine.

Decoding ue error

UE error occurs when when there was an imbalance in the drum of the washing machine. This occurs when the laundry is loaded unevenly. Most often, this error occurs during the spin cycle. This can happen in the third or seventh minute.

Before you see the error code, the drum rotates at the lowest speeds for several minutes, trying to distribute crumpled laundry. The time on the display stops, and only after several attempts to start the spin cycle does the machine give an ue error.

On old Samsung washing machines, this error is indicated by the E4 code, on new models there is a UB code.

Finding the cause of the ue error

Let's see why there could be an imbalance in the drum and the ue error code appeared. The reasons may be different, we list them.

• There is too little laundry in the drum. One - two light things or one heavy (volumetric) thing with several very light products cannot be distributed evenly in the drum. This will load only part of the drum surface.
• Items from different fabrics are loaded into the drum. Such products in the wet state have different weights, which can affect the load of the drum during the spin cycle.
• Bed sheets with small items are loaded in the drum. In this case, small items can fall into the duvet cover and stray into a lump, twisting and creating an imbalance.
• Exceeded the optimal amount of items for washing, which led to a load on the drum of the machine, making it difficult to spin.

All this can be prevented if you adhere to the following rules and tips.

1. For one wash cycle, put in the drum no less than 3-4 things of medium size.
2. With minimal drum loading, it is best to refuse spinning or spin things at very low speeds.
3. Before washing, you need to sort the laundry not only by the color of the fabric, but also by type. This will not only prevent the misallocation of things, but also extend their useful life.
4. When spinning bedding, the optimal number of revolutions of the drum is 800.
5. The maximum weight of the loaded laundry for one wash is determined not by the maximum allowed mass indicated on the machine, but is determined according to the table in the instructions. For different washing modes, the weight of the laundry may be different.

Error Correction Algorithm

When the washing machine gives an ue error, you need to open the hatch door and straighten the laundry in the drum. Typically, the door opens 5 or 7 minutes after the code appears on the display.

If the door has not opened, perform the steps:

1. press the On / Off button;
2. pull out the plug from the outlet;
3. we wait, after a while the door will unlock and open;
4. untwist and evenly distribute things in the drum;
5. restart the spin mode.

If the door does not unlock, it means that there is water left in the drum that needs to be drained. Emergency discharge is carried out as follows:

• First, turn off the power to the machine;
• then open the filter cover, which is located at the bottom of the washing machine;
• prepare a bucket or basin for drained water;
• to get a drain hose;
• lower the hose into the bucket and carefully pull out the plug;
• wait for the water to drain;
• close the hose with a plug and replace it.

After eliminating the ue error on the Samsung washing machine, you can start the test mode. You must select the program "Rinse and Spin" and run it without laundry in the drum. Wait for the cycle to complete.If the machine again displays an ue error during operation, this indicates an internal breakdown of the machine, which only a specialist can figure out.

If even after draining the water the door does not unlock, then there are more serious reasons for the breakdown of the machine. Read more about them in the article. The washing machine door does not open.

So, to eliminate the error of unbalance in the washing machine Samsung is not at all difficult. We hope you succeed.
