Questions
about vs.

Can I clear vs myself?
Press Start/Pause once to see whether the cycle resumes. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
My LG Signature shows u5. Is that the same as vs?
LG says the vibration sensor code may appear as u5 or uS, so treat it the same way.
Does vs mean my LG Signature washer is shaking too much?
Not necessarily. It says the vibration sensor itself is not working right, which is a repair item rather than a loading problem.

Still showing vs?

Book with the code as it appears, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
