Pause the washer and untangle the load, spreading it evenly. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my Samsung cycle running long with Ur on the display? Ur means the washer is adding water and trying to rebalance before spinning again, which stretches the cycle. ### Does Ub on a Samsung washer mean the suspension is worn? Usually it is the load. If Ub appears on ordinary, well-spread loads, the suspension and leveling are inspected on a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung washer showing Ub | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-ub/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
