How do you manuel over ride using the panel buttons

If you look in the manual you may see in the maint section a message to clean filter cap
On the bottom left front of the machine is a small door
Inside the door is a small drain hose that you have to pull out and drain the filter housing
Looking straight into that opening is a big black cap that you can remove to clean the filter
My understanding is that this has to be done twice a month and if not cleaned can cause the UE error
if moving clothes and and adding and taking out does not work
make sure machine is level and then look for the door

Code UE is an unbalanced load error, usually shown when there is a very small load where the machine cannot redistribute the weight to balance it (because there isn't enough clothes to go around). I suppose it could also occur in a larger load where there are heavy items mixed with larger lighter items and the drum is full - here again, the machine wouldn't be able to balance the load due to the drum being full.

In some cases, a more serious problem exists requiring service, as in the case of either a loose sensor (easy to repair by a service tech) or a bad control board (easy to repair by a tech but you have to wait on parts).
