What does the LG UE error code mean?
UE (Unbalanced Error) means LG’s sensors have detected the laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum, preventing safe high-speed spinning. This is a protective measure. It is not a fault with the machine. LG machines have sophisticated balance detection and will try to rebalance automatically before throwing this error.
How to fix the LG UE error code
- The machine may pause and attempt to rebalance by slowly tumbling — wait a few minutes before intervening.
- If UE persists, open the door and manually redistribute the laundry evenly around the drum.
- Separate tangled items and ensure no single item is bunching on one side.
- For single heavy items, add 2–3 towels to balance the load.
- Check the machine is level — LG machines are particularly sensitive to uneven flooring. Use a spirit level and adjust the four feet until stable.
- Close the door and restart from the spin part of the cycle.
