Samsung Washer Ub, U6 or Ur: Retry Message or Repeated Imbalance?

Samsung distinguishes Ur retry from other unbalanced-load warnings. This page uses Samsung U.S. guidance. Match the full display and model before choosing a repair.

Identify the display

Record the exact characters, load and cycle stage. Keep clear while the washer is moving. Rearrange laundry only after safe stopping and normal release, using the applicable loading instructions.

Choose the relevant observation

  • Ur appears while the cycle retries: record whether normal operation completes.
  • Ub or U6 repeatedly interrupts completion: keep load and installation observations for diagnosis.
  • The cabinet moves unsafely: stop use instead of holding the washer in place.

Decide what to do next

Repeated imbalance should not be converted directly into a suspension-parts diagnosis. Distinguish a specific load from an installation or mechanical issue with the model-matched next check.
