Samsung Washer UB Code: Unbalanced Load Guide

Samsung washer code UB (also shown as U6 or Ur on some models) indicates an unbalanced load. The exact display and recovery behavior vary by model; check the owner’s manual. Do not assume the machine has a failed suspension part based on this code alone.

What You Can Try

• Pause the cycle and wait for the door or lid to unlock normally.
• Redistribute the laundry evenly and avoid washing one bulky item by itself if the manual recommends balancing the load.
• Check that the washer sits level and does not rock. Use only the leveling procedure in the manual.
• Restart or select a spin cycle only as described for your model.

If the washer repeatedly shows UB with a balanced load and level installation, arrange qualified service. Do not remove panels or adjust internal suspension components yourself. Provide the model number and code.
