Samsung washer error UB – Unbalanced load detection
Is your Samsung washer shaking excessively or refusing to spin? The UB error indicates an unbalanced load, which can cause the machine to stop mid-cycle.
Common causes:
- Overloaded or unevenly distributed load
Too many clothes on one side of the drum prevent proper spinning.
- Worn or loose suspension rods
Damaged rods cause instability and lead to imbalance errors.
- Faulty hall sensor
This sensor detects drum speed. If it malfunctions, it may incorrectly flag an unbalanced load.
- Drum bearing or shock absorber issues
A worn drum bearing or shocks can increase drum instability.
How to fix it:
- Rebalance the load
Open the washer, redistribute clothes evenly, and restart the cycle.
- Check suspension rods
Inspect for wear and replace if needed.
- Test the hall sensor
Use a multimeter to check continuity and replace if faulty.
- Inspect shock absorbers
If excessive shaking occurs, consider replacing shocks.
Pro tip
Avoid washing bulky items alone. Always pair large items with smaller ones to maintain balance.
