How to Fix UL Error (Step-by-Step)

The washer has paused automatically. Press the ‘Pause’ or ‘Cancel’ button to ensure the cycle is stopped.
Wait for the spinning to stop completely and for the lid to unlock.
Open the lid and observe the clothes inside. They are likely gathered on one side of the drum.
If washing one large or absorbent item, add a couple of towels to help balance the weight.
Close the lid firmly and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Press the ‘Start’ button to resume the cycle. The washer will attempt to spin again.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
