Samsung Washer UE CODE: Unbalanced load
Your washer will display the UE code when it has detected an unbalanced load.
Ensure that the load is evenly balanced when using a spin cycle.
Items such as large blankets are unlikely to spin properly on their own.
Add two additional towels or similar and put on another spin cycle.
If the door remains locked and the machine is displaying UE error then RUN A DRAIN CYCLE EMPTY.

I have a front load Samsung washer.
I have had for 1 year it has worked wonderfully up till today.
The code UL came up on screen.
It did not drain all water and I had blankets in it.
Although i had it on a quick wash setting.
What did i do wrong.
Nothing different has happened what are your views?
Found some sensor which was basically a long rod with a rubber protector, which reached about halfway down the tub. Jumped it and no change. So it wasn’t the lid sensor. Never did find that.
The problem with no spin is fixed. It was a stretched v-belt. All good for now, Of course I don’t know what caused the belt to become stretched.in the first place. We will see how long it takes for that to happen again.
Don’t understand why opening the lid causes “dC”. Don’t even see how the mahine “knows” when the lid is opened.
OK I have more information. I set it for a short wash, rinse, spin dry. No clothes, and lowest water level, only a few inches. Here is what I found:
1. Whenever I lift the Lid, it stops and I get the code “dC”. Everywhere I look up that code, it says it is for an unbalanced load. But remember, this was a test with no clothes (load) at all, and only minimal water. So for me this code means I opened the lid > ??!!
2. During wash fill, wash itself, rinse fill, and rinse itself, if I open the Lid (machine stops) then close it, the washer starts going again by itself.
3. During all the spins – wash water drain then spin, rinse water drain then spin, and final spin dry – if I open and close the lid, washer will not start again on its own. “dC” code remains. I must press the Start/Pause button then the washer starts at the beginning of the cycle it was on.
4. none of the above spins work. Makes motor noise and tub jerks like wanting to spin, but does not spin.
5. Occasional exceptions, in all spin places, where the spinning does work – even once after this problem started, I remember it completed laundry okay once – starts slowly and builds up.
6. The method in my prior post of going into the service mode (?) did not work the second time I tried it, so that is occasional too.
So here is my current theory:
There was supposed to be some kind of lock to prevent opening lid during spins (there never was). Machine just figured out there is no lock, so does not spin.
but that does not explain why it “tries’ to spin. or why it seems to struggle to get started for the occasional times it does spin.
Maybe tomorrow I will take of the top back cover and see if I can ID the lid lock/sensor. And hot wire it to always think the lid is closed.

Ken,
Check to be sure the wash tub itself is centered. A spring or similar component may have disconnected and is causing the noise when the tub spins.

My Samsung washer WA5451 top load is making this squeaking sound in the washer and thumping sound when spinning. No codes show but it sounds like it is coming from the bottom of the metal barrel what can it be? Doubled check to make sure it is level, stuck from there.
I also get this grey gooey/flaky gunk, plus a ton of lint left on my clothes after every cycle. I’ve used PureCycle several times in a row and it doesn’t help. Is there a lint filter somewhere that can be cleaned easily?
