What Er ub
actually means.
Er ub means the washer did not reach its highest intended speed in the final spin. Speed Queen lists three reasons: an unbalanced load, too many suds, or water left in the tub from slow draining. Some models blink the left decimal point instead.

A washer that shakes, bangs the cabinet or walks across the floor on the spin, repaired at the shocks, springs, rods and feet.
