Your LG washing machine Finally finished rinsing, quickly drained the water from the tank, but for some reason did not want to spin the laundry. The washer spins the drum as it usually does when rinsing or washing, but could not get the spinning speed up. After unsuccessful attempts to spin, it freezes, stops the drum, and gives a UE error.
If your LG washing machine is not equipped with a screen, this error is indicated as follows:
- All spin indicators are lit simultaneously or flashing
- LEDs 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 are lit or blinking simultaneously
What UE error means on LG washing machine
The code of this error indicates that your machine failed to rationally distribute the weight of the drum relative to its axis of rotation. You should not confuse errors UE and uE.
If the error begins with a small letter u, then it indicates that your washing machine is trying to correct the problem by itself, trying to add some water and distribute the laundry in the tank. This error is informational and does not require your intervention. The error, which begins with a capital letter U, indicates that the machine, in spite of all efforts, has failed and asks for your help.
You can fix the UE error yourself in the following cases
- It is possible that you simply overloaded your machine, or conversely, put too little laundry. In this case, the washing machine in no way can spinbecause the system that controls the weight distribution of the drum does not allow it to do so. Try to load the cloths more evenly and the error may disappear.

Solving the error Ue It is worth trying to open the machine and rearrange the loaded laundry more rationally. The washing machine may not have been able to do this for you.
- Make sure your machine is perfectly level and doesn't "limp".
- The problem may also lie in the machine's control unit. You should try letting it "rest". Unplug it for a few minutes and plug it in again. This option may help if this is the first time the error has occurred.
