How To Fix A Samsung Washer That Keeps Adding Time To The Cycle! (UE Code)

This video shows how to fix a top load Samsung washer that keeps adding time to a spin cycle and eventually gives a UE/UR code. The washer will leave the cloth wet and often times can make clicking/banging noises. The video covers how to replace the suspension rods on any newer style Samsung top load washing machine. The model in the video is WA5451ANWXAA. This video is part of my series "Free on Facebook" in which I find things for free and show you how to repair, recycle, or repurpose them.

Suspension rods were surprisingly very easy to install. Thanks for your guidance

worked, perfect... althought my exact model as in the video had two bolts on the sides (not like clips in front) that I removed to pop the top off. did not replace bolts I think they were put there as warranty claim issues with this washer

You are a freaking genius. This was my exact problem ... the dreaded UE CODE. And, the damned thing resets the time (or bounces it back about 15 minutes), and mine will go infinitely and never gets the clothese dry. I think it is almost finishing the spin, but then it is unlevel or not loaded correctly (it thinks). So, it will stop, show the UE code, then add more water and set the time back about 10-15 minutes. And, it never gets to the point of the final spin. So, the clothes come out wet. My washer is this one: Samsung = WA48H7400AW, 4.8 cu ft., top load. Thus, I bet your suggestion will fix the issue. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I finally got the parts and am planning to fix it myself. Also, I subbed.

[phillipmonroy]

Suspension rods didn't fix UL code. What is the next I need to fix.

[latrieceable]

Wow I hope this is my problem if so it’s a easy fix

Do you remember how the back right rod went in? My parents have the 5471abw model, and I've got three corners finished. The fourth, it looks like someone took a tube or cable and wrapped it around the suspension rod a couple of times that's gonna make removing it fun. Other videos talk about a clip holding everything apart, and there just isn't one in mine. I tried finding a service model online, but what comes up does not look like our machine (and it's a pretty sad excuse of a service manual). Your machine is a closer match, but we have six buttons under the display on the left side instead of the four on yours. Wondering if this style is just done like this or if we had an installer go crazy - it's a real dick move.

Is it best to replace them all or can you see if there is wear and tear enough to replace?

What about a Samsung front loader
That does the same thing?

[henrytan]

I recently bought a brand new Samsung washing machine, it kept rinsing and spinning forever at the very first wash, my goodness, is that normal?

[nicholasleblanc]

I have replaced mine multiple times only works for a month then starts doing it again

[AmandaParrish-we]

I have replaced rods and mine still does this
