Smart summary for UE
This quick AI-style overview sums up how serious this error is, how hard it usually is to fix yourself and roughly how long it takes.
What UE means
UE on LG washing machines indicates the load is unbalanced, which prevents the drum from spinning at high speed.
Common causes
- Bulky bedding or towels gathered on one side
- Very small load that cannot balance itself
- Washer not level on the floor
Quick checks you can do yourself
- Pause the programme and open the door when the lock releases.
- Redistribute the clothes evenly around the drum or add a few extra items.
- Check and adjust the feet so the machine is stable and level.
- Restart the spin cycle and monitor vibration.
Always unplug the appliance and switch off power at the mains before removing panels or working near wiring or water connections.
When to call a professional
If the machine remains extremely noisy or shakes heavily even with balanced loads, internal suspension components may require inspection.
Recommended next steps
Try to mix heavy and light items in each wash and avoid running single‑item loads to reduce UE occurrences.
