The Samsung washing machine started the wash cycle normally, but as soon as it came to spinning, it gave an error UE, UB, E4. This means that you have loaded too much or, conversely, not enough things into the drum.
To understand how to eliminate it, you need to understand all the reasons for the appearance of the code.
What does the UE code mean
The UE error in Samsung CM appears on the display if a drum imbalance has occurred. The E4 code is similar to it, which is typical for washing machines until 2007 of production.
Usually the washing machine shows the UE error on the display at the third, seventh or ninth minute of spinning. But the washing machine can give an error even after another time after the process of wringing out the laundry has begun.
Why the error occurs
When the UE error appears on the display, the reason is:
- Too much load of laundry in the drum;
- Underload of linen;
- Washing things from different fabrics, which, when wet, have different weights, which leads to an excessive load on the drum during the spin cycle;
- Loading too small things into the drum at the same time as large ones, which leads to strong twisting of the laundry and causes an imbalance in the drum;
- One-time failure in the control module;
- The location of the Samsung washer on an uneven surface.
It is necessary to establish the true cause of the E4 error in order to know what to do to fix the problem and how to fix it.
How to fix the problem
In order for the washing machine to work again in normal mode, first try to solve the problem on your own. What should I do if the UB error is on the display? Do the following:
- If the laundry is out of balance, open the washing machine door and distribute the laundry evenly by hand.
- If the drum is overloaded, open the door, take out some of the things and put it back on the spin cycle.
- If the drum is underloaded with laundry, you can moisten a couple of towels with water, wring out a little, open the machine door and put wet towels into the drum. Then restart the spin cycle.
- In case of a temporary failure in the control module, turn off the machine, unplug the cord from the outlet, wait a few minutes, and then start the washer again.
- When tilting the washing machine, it must be leveled in a horizontal position so that the distribution of the laundry is even.
To eliminate fault codes E4, UE, UB with the door locked, it may be necessary to emergency drain the water through a special filter located at the bottom of the washing machine.
If the above methods did not help, and after a test run, the washer again shows the UE error, then the matter may be in a serious breakdown – you will need to call a wizard who knows well how to fix the situation.
When to call a repairman
Resetting an error from the display of a Samsung typewriter requires calling the wizard if:
- A UE error has occurred on the display, and the drum does not spin and rotates only in one direction. The point is a malfunction of the control board – the relay on the board or the processor of the control module may have failed. The board needs to be replaced.
- The drum of the washing machine does not rotate, and the washing machine gives out the UE code after starting, which means that the drive belt has broken or stretched. It must be replaced.
- When revving for spinning, the washing machine rattles loudly, but does not wring out. Perhaps the bearing has collapsed or the tightness of the stuffing box is broken. These elements must be replaced with new ones.
- The washing machine “speaks” of an error during washing, rinsing or spinning. The reason is the breakdown of the tachometer, which needs to be replaced.
- The washing drum is easily scrolled by hand, but does not wring out on the selected program. This indicates wear on the motor brushes – they need to be replaced.
After finding out the reason for the appearance of the UE code, it is easier to remove the error and correct the operation of the washer. But for this, it is often necessary to invite a specialist who will fix the problem.
