Hello,

We have an LG steam and tumble dryer. When the filter becomes full we get an error message UE and it stops midwash, we then have to manually drain the machine of water through a small tube for half an hour and rewash the clothes. Is there a way of knowing when the filter is nearly full before the wash starts?? Thanks!

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 washer-dryer showing UE and stopping mid-cycle

The problem
An LG steam washer-dryer was reported to stop during a wash with error code UE. The user believed it happened when the filter was full and then manually drained water before rewashing.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states UE is an out-of-balance fault, meaning the appliance detected an unbalanced load and would not spin. The discussion does not confirm that a blocked filter was the cause.
What fixed it
No filter warning method or repair was confirmed in the discussion. The strongest supported diagnosis is that the stop was due to an out-of-balance load rather than the filter. The exact corrective action was not documented.
Checks to try
  • UE error code appeared when the machine stopped mid-wash
  • Accepted solution identified UE as an out-of-balance error
  • Machine would not spin according to the accepted solution

UE should be the out of balance error. Meaning it sensed the load was out of balance and won't spin
