Pause the cycle, pull the load apart and spread it evenly around the drum. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How full should the drum be to avoid UE on an LG washer? LG says its washers balance best at about two thirds of the drum. A single heavy item or a handful of small ones is harder to balance than a normal mixed load. ### UE shows on my LG washer with every load, even normal ones. What next? Check that the machine is level and does not rock. If it is steady and loads are sensible but UE keeps returning, book a visit so the suspension and drum can be inspected. --- **[Read on the site: LG washer showing UE | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-ue/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
