Samsung Washer Error Code Ub: 1. Unequal Loading

samsung washer error code ub
In the case of fault, the washer is able to cancel the program and to display an alphanumeric code on
the control panel. One of the code's combinations frequently used by the Samsung washer – error code
UB. This is a feature of umbalance, caused by overloading or critical failure of sensors and assemblies.
The error UB: description
Displaying an error codeUB, the system not only reports a probable fault. It launches the automatic
protection, to block the uncontrollable drum rotating. If it is not stopped, it can become uncontrollable
and to break something or pull out hoses or to sink electrics. That is why with the first feature of
umbalance, the washer does not finish the operating cycle, but it will stop the work and signal the
failure by symbols UB, UE, UR (new models) and E4 (older models).
But sometimes the error UB occurs without any visible reason. This could mean that a single failure in
the control module has occured, and it should be restarted. Restart the appliance, by unplugging from
the mains for 10-15 minutes. If nothing has changed, turn on to the next points.
Probable causes
The main difficulty of umbalance is that it is influenced by different factors. The first and the easiest is
the transport package, which holds the drum suspension. But this explanation applies only to new or
recently purchased machines. Anything may occur to the old ones. Their work is affected even by
uneven floor, so first, the property of positioning should be checked.
1. Unequal loading
If the drum is losing its balance during washing or rinsing stage, the appliance should be unplugged, the
water should be drained, after that it is necessary to look inside the drum. Generally, the Samsung
washer error code UB is caused by:
 unbalanced load (few/too many things);

 twisting of the laundry;
 the noncompliance of the washing rules (the absence of bag for shoes, improper combination of
fabrics).
After correcting the problem the cycle should be started again.
2. The drive belt is worn out

This part transmits the torque from the motor. Over time, it loses its flexibility and rotates the drum
hardly, causing the error code UB. The washer should be unplugged from the mains, the back panel and
the work top should be removed. Check the belt condition. If it is heavily deformed, it should be utilized.
A new one will cost little more than $15.
3. Problems with the bearing and the centre piece

The bearing belongs to the support side of the drum inside the centre piece. If they malfunction, it leads
to backlash and vibration. The broken parts should be replaced. The replacing of the parts may be
performed singly, by disconnecting the drum from the shaft of the motor. But in some models, the
faulty assembly is difficult to reach without professional help.
4. The umbalance compensation system is broken
The system includes suspension springs, dampers and shock absorbers that control the swing. If they
come off, loosen or break down, the oscillations is gradually picking up until the error UB is displayed on
the control panel. These parts can not be restored – they should be replaced. It is necessary to pass the
appliance for repair, so that repairers to check the integrity of the drum and the centre piece at the
same time.
5. The engine is faulty

It is mostly reasoned by old carbon brushes. If they are worn out, the machine fails to perform the spin,
the crackling noise of the motor is heard. Another characteristic feature is the smell of burning and
flying sparks. In this case, new brushes should be purchased and installed. The couple costs from $10 to
$30.
6. The tachometer malfunctions

The error code UB may be caused by the part that controls the number of rotations of the drum. If it is
broken, it ceases to regulate the rotation speed, eventually leading to umbalance and stopping the
washer. It also should be replaced.
7. The sheet is damaged

If the drum rotates only in one direction, the faulty control module is often the reason. Most likely, it is
broken or burned, so it gives wrong signals and causes the Samsung washer error code UB. It may be
fixed by repairing damaged circuits or soldering some parts. But in severe cases, the complete
replacement of the chip will be required.
samsung 4e error code dishwasher

If the dishwasher does not start or discontinues in the middle of a cycle, the attention to the display
should by payed. There may be the error code 4E on the control panel, a feature that the water supply is
absent.
Error 4E: description
The Samsung 4E error code dishwasher is displayed when the system does not detect the water supply.
First, it is necessary to check if the water comes into the dishwasher from external sources.
1) The property of water supply should be checked, whether everything is in order with the valve.
The pressure should be measured: low pressure may cause the error code 4E.
2) The appliance should be unplugged from the mains, and the supply valves should be checked if
they are open. Just in case, it is necessary to turn them clockwise, and then in the opposite
direction against stop.
3) The hoses leading to the crane should be inspected. They should be undamaged, smooth and
without inflections. They should be disconnected from the machine and then placed into the
bucket, after that, the supply valve should be turned. If the water flows normally, then the hoses
are not clogged.
Did the Error 4E appear for the first time? The appliance should be unplugged from the mains for 10 - 15
minutes. This should help in case of the control module failure.
Possible causes
If the hoses are in order, the pipeline works properly, the valves are open, and the reset has not work,
the decisive measures should be taken. The entire system, down to the chips, should be examined.
1. The filter is clogged

There at the connection point of the hose is the fine mesh, which protects the valve from impurities.
Ideally, it should be cleaned twice a year, so as to avoid the error code 4E.
 The machine should be switched off, the hose should be unscrewed.

 The filter should be pulled out with pliers.
 The holes should be cleaned.
 Set the mesh in its proper place.
2. The improper connection of hot and cold water hoses
The hoses leading to the pipes with the appropriate temperature should not be confused. Otherwise,
the error 4E may occur. Although this problem has another error code.
3. Wiring fault
The top panel should be removed and it has to be checked that the valve winding is connected. The
connection of the loops should be reliable. Then the wiring harness leading to the control board should
be inspected and then rung by a multimeter. Depending on the extent of damage, it should be repaired
or replaced. This should help to resolve the error code 4E.
The next step is the inspecting of the wiring that leads from the base of the door to the main module. To
do this, the screws should be unscrewed and the front panel should be removed. Some rusted areas or
breaks could be there. Everything should be rung with a multimeter and the contacts should be
restored.
4. Problems with the drain system

Sometimes Samsung 4E error code dishwasher displays due to improper installation of the drain hose.
This happens if it is not connected with the detergent drawer (the transparent pipe is torn, pinched or
not connected).
5. The inlet valve failure

If the wiring and the drain system are in correct order, the resistance of each solenoid coil should be
checked by a multimeter. At first, the valves should be removed from the dishwasher, the water supply
hose should be connected and the electromagnetic coils should be alternately connected to a voltage
source of 220 V.
If the valve does not open, then the solenoid has burned out, causing the error code 4E. It should be
tested by measuring the resistance at the each output. The normal rate should be from 2 to 4 kOhm. But
each model may have different values. The defective part may be replaced by removing from another
valve. If the channel has opened, but then did not close completely, so the reason is the worn out rod
spring or membrane. In this case, the entire assembly should be replaced. A new valve costs from $55.
6. The control board is damaged

The last case associated with the error 4E is that the main module does not supply voltage through the
circuit to the inlet valve or malfunctions. Its checking and replacing (if necessary) should be entrusted to
the specialist.
