What does UE error mean on LG washing machine?

Many owners of automatic washing machines LG has already noted the appearance of an error UE in the process of washing: it appears due to the inability to carry out the spin cycle due to violations of the balance of the drum. The reasons may also be different, it all depends on the life of the device and compliance with the rules of work and care of the machine. Not everyone knows what needs to be done in such cases, and what actions should be taken before the arrival of specialists, if the machine consistently produces such an error. Let's try to consider this issue in more detail.

Failure during washing

With a standard cycle of operation, the LG washing machine finishes the rinsing process, drains water and enters the spin mode, but at the same time either just turns the drum, which is not gaining momentum, or stops and automatically completes the laundry program.Each device model of this brand has its own characteristics, which manifest themselves in different ways, including during failures.

If there is a problem with balancing the drum, the letters UE or uE appear on the display, all the spin indicators, as well as the LEDs from 1 to 6, start to light up simultaneously.

How to decode the error correctly

Not all owners of LG washing machines know exactly what the letters UE can mean and why they signal two different errors:

1. Coding ue with small letter u This means that the machine revealed an imbalance during the work, in which case the device eliminates the problem automatically by adding water and a more even distribution of the laundry.
2. Designation UE already indicates that the machine is not able to solve the problem on its own, and now you need to find out its cause.

It is worth noting the frequency of occurrence of such an error: if it appears on the display only occasionally, then with the washer, most likely, everything is in order, but if the UE symbols appear during each wash cycle, you should contact a specialist.

Ways to solve the problem on your own

Very often, a UE error on an LG automatic washing machine appears due to overload or insufficient loading.when there are too many things to put on the drum, or vice versa a small amount of laundry. In such situations, the machine will not be able to execute the spin program because of the system, weight control. This is a standard violation of the rules of operation, which many often forget. In such cases, some actions may help:

1. Remove excess things from the drum or add some more laundry: such manipulations will help the machine to complete the spin program.
2. Open the drum and try to shift the laundry manually, because sometimes the machine is not able to perform this function on its own.
3. Check how smoothly the washing machine is installed.
4. An error can also be caused by a malfunction in the controller or drive parts.

Possible reasons

If the LG washing machine showing a UE error does not spin during each cycle of operation, most likely the cause of the breakdown is faulty control modulewhich needs repair or full replacement. In the event of an error and a strong rumble device during washing, the problem lies in damaged bearing due to prolonged wear or leakage of the gland. It is also worth checking the condition of the drive belt and the operation of the Hall sensor, which determines the speed of rotation of the machine drum. These actions should be carried out by a service center specialist.
