How to fix a Samsung washer that has a universal balance (UB) code?

The UB or "unbalanced" error code on a Samsung washing machine indicates that the washer has detected an imbalanced load during the spin cycle. This can happen if there are too few or too many items in the load, or if the load is not evenly distributed in the tub. If this error code appears, the washer will automatically stop the spin cycle and will need to be restarted.
