When should I call a technician for code UE?

If it happens on every load, the washer may not be level or may have a suspension problem that needs service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
