What the E32 Error Means
The E32 error code indicates that the washing machine has detected an uneven distribution of laundry in the drum. The machine has interrupted the spin cycle to prevent excessive vibration or damage.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Unevenly distributed laundry
A single large item such as a duvet, towel or bedsheet can clump to one side of the drum during spinning, causing an imbalance.
Overloaded drum
Too much laundry in the drum can prevent items from moving freely and distributing evenly.
Underloaded drum
A very small load can also cause imbalance as there is not enough laundry to distribute evenly around the drum.
Machine not level
If the washing machine is not sitting level on the floor, this can make imbalance issues more likely during the spin cycle.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Redistribute the laundry
Open the door and manually redistribute the laundry evenly around the drum, then restart the cycle.
Check the load size
Ensure the drum is neither overloaded nor underloaded. A medium-sized, evenly mixed load is ideal for a balanced spin.
Check the machine is level
Use a spirit level on top of the machine to check it is sitting evenly. Adjust the feet if necessary.
Restart the washing machine
Turn the appliance off at the mains and leave it for several minutes before restarting.
