Why does my LG WV5 show a UE UNBALANCE ERROR?
- Y
  ycrawfordJul 29, 2025
  If your LG Washer displays a UE UNBALANCE ERROR, it could be due to several reasons related to load balance. First, if the clothes are too wet at the end of the cycle, rearrange the load to allow proper spinning. Close the door and press the Start/Pause button. It might take a moment for the appliance to start spinning, as the door must be locked. Alternatively, if the load is too small, add one or two similar items or smaller articles of clothing to help balance it. Then, close the door and press the Start/Pause button again, allowing a few moments for the spin cycle to initiate once the door is locked.

How to fix a 1E INLET ERROR on my LG Washer?

  William HopkinsAug 14, 2025
  If your LG Washer is showing a 1E INLET ERROR, it indicates a problem with the water supply. Here's what you should check: * First, ensure that the water supply is adequate by checking another tap in the house. * Next, verify that the water supply tap is fully open. * Also, inspect the water supply hoses for any kinks and straighten them or reinstall the water inlet hose if necessary. * Finally, the filter of the supply hoses might be clogged. Turn off the taps, remove the hose connections to the washing machine, and then check and clean the inlet valve filter.
