Nelson for Model Number WT1101CW Purchased this LG washer in 12/2013. Constant UE codes after a year of ownership. Now it shows UE codes even during a "tub clean" or a "rinse and spin" with no clothing load. Debating whether to take my losses and get a non LG product or try to fix. Any suggestions what this issue may be? The machine is level. Although there is a tiny wobble during the spin cycle as it picks up speed. Not a wobble that I think would cause the machine to give a UE code.
Answer Nelson, you may want to check the suspension rods [AJK72909308] and the balance ring [AAJ72909602] to ensure that they are working properly. The suspension rods can be tested by pressing the tub down as far as possible and then quickly releasing. Once released, the tub should rise up and set in place without bouncing up and down. If it does bounce, then the suspension rods are bad. The balance ring can be tested by rotating the basket by hand and then quickly stopping it, which should cause a sound similar to water sloshing around. This will indicate if the balance ring has the fluid in it to act as a counter balance when in a spin mode. The next item you may want to check is the hall sensor which is part of the stator [4417EA1002K]. At the main control, with the power disconnected, you will want to test at the connection BL4. Pin 1 to 2 should read between 8 to 12 ohms and pin 1 to 3 should read between 8 to 12 ohms as well. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, April 2, 2019
