UE Error Code
The UE Error Code indicates an unbalanced load. the size and type of wash load can cause the washer to become unbalanced.
Small Wash Load
The weight of the load must be evenly disturbed across the surface of the drum for proper operation.
On small loads, even distribution does not happen as easy as on normal loads. Clothing will clump together throwing the weight of the drum off during the spin cycle.
Rearrange the items in the drum, and restart the spin cycle.
Mixed Fabric Load
Mixed fabric loads (such as jeans and t-shirts) can cause unbalanced rotation of the drum.
For example: When washing jeans and t-shirts, jeans could be on one side of the drum and the t-shirts on the other.
Rearrange the items in the drum, and restart the spin cycle.
Bulky Load (Blanket / Comforter)
Large single items such as sheets, blankets, or comforters can cause the UE error due to uneven spread across the surface of the drum.
These items will cause an unbalance in the drum when spinning.
Rearrange the items in the drum, and restart the spin cycle.
dE Error Code
The dE error code means the washer was not able to lock the door. This might be a result of:
The door is not completely closed
The door is misaligned
A defective door latch
Troubleshooting:

Unplug the washer.
If you cannot unplug the washer

To prevent future occurrance of the dE error:
The drum can be fully loaded but not tightly packed so that it would force the door out the alignment.
Avoid putting weight on or pushing down on the door while it’s open. Putting strain on the door hinge could cause a misalignment.
Always place items in the drum completely so that sleeves and the corners of fabric aren’t trapped between the door glass and gasket.

LE Error Code
The LE error code on the washer’s display indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load.
Large and heavy sized loads will put a strain on the motor, causing the LE code to occur. Performing a rest on the water will normally resolve this error.

Press POWER to turn the washer off.
Unplug the washer from the power outlet. If the outlet cannot be reached, turn the circuit breaker to the unit off.
With the power disabled to the washer, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.
