LG Washing Machine (Combo) UE error code
The UE error on your LG washer dryer combo means the load is unevenly distributed and the drum cannot spin properly. A small uE displayed during the cycle means the unit is automatically trying to rebalance — no action is needed yet. A large UE means manual redistribution is required. If UE appears at the end of the cycle the clothes may simply be too wet — run an extra spin.
Common causes
- Laundry is clumped on one side of the drum
- Load is too small to distribute evenly
- A single large heavy item is not balanced
How to fix it
-
1
If small uE is shown wait — the unit will attempt to rebalance up to three times automatically
-
2
If large UE is shown pause the cycle and open the door
-
3
Redistribute the laundry evenly in the drum
-
4
Add one or two similar items if the load is very small
-
5
Close the door and press Start/Pause to resume
-
6
If UE appears at the end of the cycle select an extra spin cycle to remove excess water
