LG Washer UE Error — Unbalanced Load
LG Washer · Error code UE
What UE Means
UE (Unbalanced Error) means the drum could not balance the load during the spin cycle. The washer adds water and re-tries to redistribute, and shows UE if it cannot.
Most Likely Fix
Unbalanced load error
Tools: socket set, screwdriver, nut driver
Diagnose first: Worn suspension on top-loaders or shocks on front-loaders let the tub wobble; redistributing laundry fixes occasional cases.
Find this part on Amazon →Symptoms
- Washer will not reach high spin
- Clothes come out very wet
- Drum repeatedly fills and re-tumbles
Common Causes
A single heavy item (towel, rug, comforter) or a small load bunched to one side.
If the washer rocks, the suspension cannot balance the drum.
On older units, worn dampers let the drum move too much.
How to Fix It
- Open the door and redistribute the load evenly around the drum.
- Add a few towels to balance a single bulky item.
- Check that the washer is level and the feet are locked.
- If UE persists with balanced loads, inspect the suspension rods/shocks.
