Samsung Washing Machine dc / Ub / U6 / Ur / UE / 1Ub / 1U6 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 5m

These codes mean your Samsung washing machine detected that the laundry load is unevenly distributed inside the drum and cannot safely complete the spin cycle. A Ur code specifically means the washer is automatically adding water to try to rebalance the load and retry the spin — this extends the cycle time but does not indicate a fault. All other codes in this group mean the washer could not balance the load and stopped the cycle.

Common causes

Laundry is clumped or tangled on one side of the drum
A single heavy item such as a blanket or towel is not distributing evenly
Load is too small to distribute evenly around the drum
Washing machine is not sitting level on the floor

How to fix it

1

Open the door and manually untangle and redistribute the laundry evenly around the drum
2

For very small loads add one or two items to help distribute the weight
3

Close the door and press Start to restart the spin cycle
4

Check that the washing machine is sitting level on the floor and adjust the feet if needed
