Lg Front Load Washer Stays At 10 Min For Long Time Then Flashes Ue Code
LG WM2277HS WORKS FINE UP UNTIL THERE ARE 10 MIN. LEFT IN THE CYCLE. IT WILL ROTATE TUB 5 SEC. IN ONE DIRECTION, THEN THE OPPOSITE WAY FOR 5 SEC. THIS GOES ON QUITE A WHILE, WHILE THE CLOCK NEVER CONTINUES TO COUNT DOWN,(STAYS AT 10 MIN.) THUS NEVER GOES INTO HIGH SPIN MODE( NORMALLY AT 9 MIN. LEFT IN CYCLE.) THEN FLASHING UE CODE APPEARS AND I END UP WITH VERY WET LOAD OF CLOTHES.
THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS.
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
LG WM2277HS stalls at 10 minutes and ends with UE error
- The problem
- LG WM2277HS washes normally until 10 minutes remain, then repeatedly rocks the drum in each direction without the timer advancing, never reaches high spin, and eventually displays UE, leaving the load very wet.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says UE usually indicates an out-of-balance load. This may be due to difficulty balancing certain loads, or a fault in the out-of-balance system.
- What fixed it
- First check whether the issue only happens with small or uneven loads and ensure loads are balanced in the drum. If that does not resolve it, further diagnosis by an engineer was recommended. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Observed the drum turning for about 5 seconds in each direction repeatedly at 10 minutes remaining
- Confirmed the timer stays at 10 minutes and the machine does not enter high spin
- UE fault code appears
- Load is left very wet
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

On an LG washing machine the UE error usually means out of balanced load. Either a fault has occured on the out of balance system or it's having difficulty balancing certain loads. The latter problem is described in detail in this article Washing machine won’t spin just one item or very small load and there is a link in the article about how to put balanced loads in the machine. If it doesn't help you'll need an engineer.
