A single heavy item, a duvet that has wrapped itself round the agitator, or a load that has all migrated to one side will stop a spin every time. Ur specifically means the machine is going to add water, try to redistribute and have another go — it is telling you what it is doing, not complaining. What makes this worth a service call is when it happens with ordinary, well-distributed loads: then it is usually the suspension, the shock absorbers, or a machine that is not level on the floor. On some models dc is a door error instead. ### The other ways Samsung prints this one Ub · dc · U6 · Ur · UE · 1 Ub · 1U6 Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page. ### Where this appears, and why not to clear it On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful.

If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
