Today we will tell you about one of the most common and easily fixable malfunctions in the Samsung washing machine. The topic of our article is UE error on Samsung washing machine - a small but annoying problem that you can try to fix yourself without risking damaging something in the device. After all, it is so uncomfortable to feel helpless and "depend" on a stranger - a repairman for washing machines. So let's get started.
You are the happy owner of a reliable and multifunctional Samsung washing machine, loaded the laundry into the tub, added powder, and started the appropriate washing mode. And it seemed that everything went "according to plan" - washing, rinsing, but then something went wrong. At the moment of spinning, the time on the display stops changing, spinning occurs at low speeds, and then at 3 or 7 minutes it stops altogether, and the display shows the UE error.
What does the UE error mean on the Samsung washing machine? This means that the electronics of the appliance detected an imbalance inside the drum of the washing machine and stopped working. On some models of washing machines, this error goes under the code E4, and if the machine does not have a display, then when the drum is unbalanced, the temperature mark of 60 ° is on and the indicators of all modes are blinking.
What causes the crash?
An imbalance inside the drum occurs when:
- you overloaded the washer or vice versa - underloaded it;
- you have loaded different types of fabrics that absorb and release water in different ways;
- you have loaded bed textiles with small items.
If the items in the drum have different weights, this wash will not be evenly distributed during the spin cycle, which means an imbalance will result. And, as a result, UE is on on the Samsung washing machine.

What to do?
It is simple to fix the situation - you need to straighten the twisted linen, pull out small things from large ones, distribute the products, depending on the fabric. To do this, you need to stop washing, unplug the machine from the power supply and wait for the machine to unlock the door. After you have eliminated the cause of the imbalance, you can restart the spin.
If, after 5-7 minutes, the door is not unlocked, it means that there is still water in the tank. You can run the pump in the “no-spin drain” mode, or make an emergency water drain. For this:
- disconnect the washing machine from the mains;
- prepare a container for water - a bucket or basin and a drain hose;
- open the filter cap located at the bottom of the washing machine;
- drain the water from the appliance into the prepared container and close the filter.
After that, the door should open, you can straighten the laundry inside the drum and start spinning. It is better to test the spinning of the drum without laundry. If everything went smoothly, start the wash and try to squeeze it out. If the UE error remains on the display, it is necessary to call the repairman. Indeed, sometimes the imbalance of the drum occurs not due to improper loading of linen, but due to internal damage - a belt break, a broken bearing or shock absorbers, the engine brushes are worn out or the speed sensor is out of order.
If the door does not open after an emergency drain, then there are more serious problems with the mechanics or electronics of your appliance. In this case, you also cannot do without the help of a professional.
Now you know how to avoid annoying misunderstandings when washing and what to do if a UE error occurs on a Samsung washing machine. Lay the wash correctly, select the appropriate mode and act in accordance with the instructions for the device - then your Samsung washing machine will not be "capricious", but will work for a long time and without interruption.
