Samsung washer Ur code
- Washer
Samsung Ur is an unbalanced-load retry, not a breakdown. The washer adds water, shifts the laundry, and tries to spin again, so the cycle runs longer than the display first suggested. Leave it running while Ur is on the screen. If the retry works, the code clears by itself. If Ur turns into Ub or UE and the cycle stops, open the door and spread the clothes evenly. One towel or blanket often cannot balance alone — add a few other items and run Spin. Ur does not mean the drain pump, motor, or control board has failed.

How to fix UR
- Leave the washer running while Ur is displayed. It is trying to rebalance and will extend the cycle.
- If the code changes to Ub or UE and the cycle stops, open the door and spread laundry evenly around the drum.
- Add a few towels when the load is one heavy item, then press Start.
- Check that the washer is level and all four feet touch the floor if Ur appears on most cycles.
- Run Spin with a mixed medium load. A successful spin means Ur was the load, not a failed part.
Call a pro when: Call a technician if Ur becomes Ub on every mixed load after the washer is leveled.
