Washer DIY First

LG UE — Unbalanced Load Error

What This Code Means

The drum detected a severe imbalance during the spin cycle. The washer stops spinning to prevent damage from excessive vibration.

Common Causes

  • Single heavy item (towel, jeans, comforter) bunched on one side of the drum
  • Washing a single heavy item without pairing items
  • Worn or broken suspension rods or shock absorbers
  • Washer not level on the floor

DIY Steps to Try First

  1. Open the door, redistribute the laundry evenly around the drum, and restart the spin cycle.
  2. If washing a single heavy item (like a comforter), add a few towels to balance the load.
  3. Check that all four leveling feet are contacting the floor — use a level on top of the machine and adjust feet if needed.
