What does the UE error mean on the Samsung washing machine?

Today we will tell you about one of the most common and easily fixable failures of the Samsung washing machine. The topic of our article - UE error on a Samsung washing machine - is a small but annoying problem that you can try to fix by yourself without risking damage to something in the appliance. After all, it is so uncomfortable to feel helpless and “depend” on a stranger - the repairman for washing machines. So let's get started.

You are a happy owner of a reliable and multifunctional Samsung washing machine, loaded laundry into the tank, added powder, launched the appropriate washing mode. And it seems that everything went “according to plan” - washing, rinsing, but then something went wrong. At the time of spinning, the time on the display stops changing, the spinning occurs at low speed, and then at 3 or 7 minutes it stops altogether, and the display shows an error UE.

What does the Samsung UE error mean on the washing machine? This means that the electronics of the device detected an imbalance inside the drum of the washing machine and stopped the work process. On some models of styralok, this error passes under the E4 code, and if the machine does not have a display, then when the drum is unbalanced, the temperature mark of 60 ° is on and the indicators of all modes flash.

What caused the crash?

An imbalance inside the drum happens if:

• you overloaded the washer, or vice versa - they didn’t load it;
• you have loaded different types of fabrics that absorb and release water differently;
• you uploaded bed textiles with small items.

If things in the drum have different weights, this washing will not be distributed evenly during the spin cycle, which means there will be an imbalance. And, as a result, on the washing machine Samsung is burning UE.

What to do?

Fix the situation is simple - you need to straighten the twisted linen, pull small things out of large ones, distribute products, depending on the fabric. To do this, you need to stop washing, disconnect the machine from the power supply and wait until the machine unlocks the door. After you eliminate the cause of the imbalance, you can restart the spin cycle.

If the door is not unlocked after 5-7 minutes, it means that there is water in the tank. You can start the pump in the "drain without spin", or make an emergency discharge of water. To do this:

• unplug the washing machine;
• prepare a water tank - a bucket or a basin and a drain hose;
• open the filter plug, which is located at the bottom of the washing machine;
• drain the water from the device into the prepared container and close the filter.

After this, the door should open, you can straighten the laundry inside the drum and start spinning. It is better to test the promotion of the drum without linen. If everything went smoothly - lay the wash and try to squeeze it out. If the error UE continues to light on the display - you need to call the repairman. After all, sometimes the imbalance of the drum is not due to improper laying of the laundry, but due to internal damage - a belt break, bearing failure or shock absorbers, engine brushes were wiped out, or the speed sensor failed.

If the door did not open after an emergency drain, then there are more serious problems with the mechanics or electronics of your device. In this case, also without the help of a professional can not do.

Now you know how to avoid annoying misunderstandings when washing and what to do if there was a UE error on the Samsung washing machine. Put the laundry in correctly, choose the appropriate mode and act in accordance with the instructions for the device - then your Samsung washing machine will not be “naughty”, but it will work for a long time and without fail.
