UE
Kenmore Unbalanced Load / Spin Fault

Washer-dryer combo displays 'UE' or 'uE' and will not spin at high speed; the drum may repeatedly try to balance the load.

Possible Causes

Load not distributed evenly, too few items in the drum, worn suspension springs or shock absorbers, or an out-of-level installation.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep hands clear of the drum while it is moving. Unplug the unit before adjusting the leveling feet.

  • Redistribute load: Open the door when safe and redistribute clothes evenly around the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone.
  • Check machine level: Use a bubble level on the top of the unit. Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock.
  • Inspect suspension: If 'UE' occurs frequently with normal loads, inspect the suspension springs and shock absorbers for leaks, broken mounts, or excessive play. Replace worn components.
