In the checked 796.3151#21# top-load manual, uE is an automatic rebalance attempt; UE means it did not succeed. The case of the first character changes the next decision.
Watch the state without reaching into the machine
If the washer is safely carrying out its normal rebalance routine, keep clear and observe. Do not reach into a moving basket, defeat the lid interlock or hold the lid down. Stop use for severe cabinet movement, impacts, leakage or an unsafe installation.
When the machine has paused
Wait for motion to stop and for the lid to release normally before handling laundry. Record whether a single bulky article, a very small load or tangled items were present. Use the matching owner’s loading guidance; do not add random weight or overload the basket to suppress the warning.
Record whether the pattern follows the load
A one-off warning with a difficult load and repeated warnings with ordinary loads call for different follow-up. Note the load type, whether the machine moves, and whether the same behavior recurs after the owner’s normal load adjustment. Installation and internal faults remain separate possibilities to investigate.
Do not buy suspension parts from the letters alone
This page does not turn UE into a suspension-rod or board diagnosis. If the issue repeats, give service the full model, exact display case and observations. Front-load shock guidance and other Kenmore platforms need their own applicable documentation.
What the checked manual establishes
Printed page 33 distinguishes informational uE during automatic load redistribution from UE after the attempt fails and pauses for manual adjustment.
