Spread the laundry evenly around the basket. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why are my clothes wet after UE on my GE? When the washer cannot balance the load, it will not spin at full speed. Spread the clothes out and run Spin again. ### Is a blinking Spin light on my GE the same as UE? Yes, GE uses it for the same out-of-balance condition. The washer is working to correct the load and usually finishes the cycle. --- **[Read on the site: GE washer showing UE | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-ue/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
