Er ub — Final Spin Speed Not Reached (Front-Load)

On Speed Queen front-load washers (for example the FF7011), Er ub means the washer did not reach the maximum intended speed in the final spin. Speed Queen lists three causes: an unbalanced load, excessive suds, or too much water left in the tub because it drained slowly. On some models the left decimal point blinks one second on, one second off instead. Speed Queen's top-load use and care manuals do not list Er ub.
