What it means

United States

Unbalanced load error - the current load in the washer is unbalanced inside the tub; Ur (unbalanced load retry) means the washer will add water, try to balance the load, and attempt the spin again, which extends the cycle and is not a fault.

United Kingdom

Door issues.

What to check first

  1. Check that the door is fully closed and that nothing is trapped in the door;
  2. check the appliance manual for optimum loading;
  3. see the child lock FAQ if relevant.

When to call service

If you continuously get this error, see Samsung’s ‘washer won’t spin’ guide or request service.
