Samsung Washer Ur / Ub — Unbalanced load

Samsung Washer · Error code Ur

What Ur Means

The washer cannot balance the load for the final spin. Ur (top-load) or Ub (front-load) appears when drum vibration exceeds safe limits. The machine adds water and tries to redistribute clothes.

Symptoms

  • Spin cycle never reaches full speed
  • Clothes still soaking wet at end
  • Loud thumping during spin attempts

Common Causes

1
Lopsided load

Heavy item (towel, rug, jeans) bunched on one side.

2
Too few or too many items

A single bulky item or a packed drum prevents redistribution.

3
Washer not level

Uneven feet cause the tub to ride asymmetrically.

4
Worn suspension rods or shock absorbers

Tub no longer self-centers — common after 6+ years.

How to Fix It

  1. Pause and manually redistribute laundry evenly around the drum.
  2. Add 2-3 similar-weight items if washing a single bulky piece.
  3. Use a bubble level on the top of the washer — adjust feet and lock the jam nuts.
  4. Run a Rinse+Spin to test.
  5. If Ur persists with balanced loads on a level machine, replace suspension rods (top-load) or shock absorbers (front-load) as a set.
