It is not clear to the average user what the UE error that the LG washing machine shows on the display means. The washer tries unsuccessfully to wring out the laundry, but the drum does not pick up sufficient speed. Then a fault code is displayed.
Note! Different models of the El G washing machine give an error in their own way. It can be two capital letters UE, or different – uE. It is important to distinguish between these combinations.
Decryption and reasons for the appearance of the code
If you have an LG washing machine model without a screen, the system will notify you of the error code with indicators. In this case, the bulbs can blink or burn together:
- All “Spin” mode LEDs.
- All bulbs from one to six.
What do the various manifestations of a malfunction on the scoreboard mean:
- The code combination of small and large letters (uE) does not require your intervention. The error code uE informs the user about problems with the balancing of the washing drum. The reason for this may be uneven distribution of laundry. The LG machine corrects the imbalance on its own, gradually gaining and lowering water.
- A two-caps UE error will be thrown when the machine’s attempts have failed. Your help is required.
What to do and how to troubleshoot? Finding out the reasons for the appearance of the code will help solve the problem.
Independent repair
When issuing a UE error in the LG washing machine, you need to take the following actions:
- Open the door and manually distribute the laundry in the tub. As a result of the formation of lumps, the SMA fails to decompose it on its own.
- You may have underloaded or overloaded the CM. Then the system will not allow you to start the spin mode. Correct the situation by removing the laundry or filling the drum.
- If the Lji machine is not positioned correctly, the level is disturbed, which also leads to imbalance. How to fix: Return the LG washer to its normal position.
- Rebooting the system will help clear the error. Unplug the power plug and wait 15-20 minutes. If the error reset occurred, then everything is in order.
If the cause is a serious problem, then these actions will not lead to anything. Try to find a breakdown that external signs may indicate:
- During operation, the UE error is on the display, a rumble and rumble are heard, oily spots may form under the machine. This means a bearing or seal failure. To replace parts, you will have to disassemble the washer. Video to help you:
- If the UE fault code appears regularly, and the LG CM does not spin the laundry every time it is started, the reason is in the control module. You need to get to the block, check, repair or replace.
- When the spin program is running, the drum does not gain momentum, the error is constantly displayed – the drive belt is stretched or worn out. To eliminate the imbalance, the belt needs to be replaced.
- The code is displayed constantly in the “Wash”, “Rinse”, “Spin” modes. Possible tachometer failure. This device controls the speed of rotation of the drum. Replacing the Hall sensor (tachometer) is shown in the video:
