What this code means
Unbalanced Load - the machine/motor controller has detected an unbalanced load during spin and is attempting to redistribute the load.
First step from the service manual
Display clears if the machine successfully rebalances the load. If rebalancing is unsuccessful, the washer will pause until the door lid is opened, allowing the customer to manually redistribute and rebalance the load. The customer should then press START to finish the cycle.
Next steps: diagnose the root cause
Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
