Help!! About 3 weeks ago, my LG machine started acting funny. The wash plate started coming all the way loose and the "UE" error code began showing up. I tightened the bolt back down several times and it would come loose again after every load. I even put some lock tite on it and eventually ended up twisting the bolt completely off in an effort to tighten it.
It should be noted, that during all of this I noticed that the agitator wouldn't agitate the load. It would spin slow at the beginning of the cycle (balancing the load) and then when the wash cycle would start, it would rotate back and forth only slightly(maybe a 1/2 inch or so). Then the washer would try to start the spin cycle, "UE" code, refill with water, and then repeat, over and over again.
After drilling a hole and using an "easy out", I got the twisted bolt out and replaced with a new bolt and tested with a load....Same exact thing happened again(little or no agitation during wash cycle, attempt spin cycle, UE error code, refill over and over, and loose wash plate at the end of it all). It should also be noted, since this all started...the machine hasn't fully completed an entire cycle. Please help! What could I be missing?
