Lg Front Load Washer Stays At 10 Min For Long Time Then Flashes Ue Code

[gary d.]

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.

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.
