UE Samsung washing machine error UE — unbalanced load

What it means

If your Samsung washing machine shows UE: the laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum, so the spin is stopped or reduced.

Likely causes

Too small or too heavy a load, laundry bunched up (duvet, rug), machine not level, worn shock absorbers.

Safe steps you can try

Spread the laundry evenly, wash heavy items with other clothes and level the machine feet.

When to call a technician

If it happens with normal loads too, the shock absorbers, springs and bearings need checking.
