Problem: Unbalanced load detected.
How to Fix UNB Error (Step-by-Step)
- Press the ‘Pause’ or ‘Cancel’ button to stop the cycle.
- Wait for the door to unlock. This may take a few moments.
- Open the door and look at the clothes inside. They have likely shifted to one side of the drum.

- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
