The washer stops and I get the following message, " machine cannot spin because unbalance circuit is always open or out of range."

ul mean unbalance load try add more are take some item out if the washer makeing a noise when it spin you good have bad bearing

UNBALANCE ERROR - Display shows UE.Laundry load is unbalanced, manually loosen any tangled laundry.
If only one item of clothing needs washing, such as a bathrobe or jeans, the final spin result might be unsatisfactory and an UE error message will be shown in the display. Unbalance error is cleared by POWER switch OFF and back ON.

Most of the time a Clutch issue.

See this Sticky Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW 5th post for problem and 6th post for a fix.

UE = Unbalance Error


Laundry load is unbalanced, manually loosen any tangled laundry.
If only one item of clothing needs washing, such as a bathrobe or jeans, the final spin result might be unsatisfactory and an UE error message will be shown in the display. Unbalance error is cleared by POWER switch OFF and back ON.

Thanks for using FixYa !!

under the top of the washer, where the lid comes down is a button that stop agitation or spin if the lid is opened. That button can break off if the washer unbalances during the spin. You will need to replace it.

Hi there
hope this helps you .
UE - Unbalance switch error Unbalanced load is sensed three times during a spin operation. Open lid. Rebalance laundry load and close lid.
· Check wiring harness
· Check unbalance switch
· Check circuit board thank your for writing to fix ya.
Best regards Rich

I had the same issue with FAV9800AWW, the Quick Spin Test showed "Machine cannot spin because the unbalance circuit is always open or out of range." Removed the Tub Displacement Sensor, disconnected the wire harness to the sensor, and found corrosion between the contacts, especially on the 12V DC pin. When I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and soft brush, discovered that the trace had corroded away, and so the board was not receiving the 12V DC input. Also had checked on the pins of the blue/white (signal) and pink (gnd), and was always negligible millivolt reading. The part number is Whirlpool 12002194. Ordered it from Appliance Parts Pros after reading various reviews. I found it cheaper other places, but those places got too many poor reviews for my taste.

If it’s a FAV6800AW or FAV8900AW and you want to DIY a fix take a look at this post and see if you or someone you know has some very basic mechanical skills and can do a clutch replacement or roller clutch bearing re-lube. The dc/UC unbalance errors are a very common failure issue with the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW clutch.

I have put together a step by step process to perform a clutch replacement process, this repair will get your $1000 machine back in service with a $50 dollar clutch replacement. Worse case you can give the repair person some facts and maybe control cost and speed to repair. I believe you will find you will pay $300 - $400 to have it repaired.

If you pay more than $50 dollars for the clutch you are throwing money away. Clothes Washer Clutch - 25001169

You can try this test just to rule out the TDS as the failure point almost all the time dc/UC unbalance errors are related to clutch issues with this machine model.
Tub Displacement Sensor Diagnostics check.
It is possible the Tub Displacement Sensor may have failed try this check which is in the Troubleshooting guide stored in your washer console or refer to the SM.
Enter the Service Mode by pressing and holding the Enviro Plus and Spin Only keys for three seconds or the display reads “00”

Press the Super Wash key display reads “in”…something like that.

Press Delicates the Display will show “UC” (Unbalance Closed).

Push tub to the back right corner of the machine the display should change to “UO” (Unbalance open). Release tub and the display will show “UC” (Unbalance Closed).

Press Hand Wash.

Pull tub to the front left corner while pushing the tub down the display should change to “UO” (Unbalance open). If you get these results your Tub Displacement sensor should be OK and I believe it’s not the component failure producing dc/UC errors in spin cycle. I would remove the clutch for inspection and re-lube. There is a more technical troubleshooting method to check Tub Displacement Sensor in the Troubleshooting guide and Service manual.

We can turn on the drain pump in Service Mode to pump out excess water, let me know if you need help with that. The link I have in this post will send you to the Service Manual on this site in PDF format .
I believe a lot of folks toss this $1K machine when a $50 dollar clutch replacement or an even cheaper a Oneway roller clutch bearing clean up (if the bearings are rust free) will get the machine back in service.
Post back if you decide to DIY the fix and need help.

Good luck… Rich
