LG Washing Machine Error Code vS

What this code means

vS: Vibration sensor error

The vibration sensor that helps the machine manage spin speeds is reporting a fault, so the washer limits or stops spinning.

Also shown as: uS

Common causes

Failed vibration sensor
Loose sensor connector
Machine shaking excessively on a weak floor

What to check, in order

Check the machine is level and on a solid floor.
Restart once after a full power-off.
A returning vS with a stable machine needs the sensor tested by a technician.

Safety first. Switch the machine off and unplug it before cleaning filters or moving hoses. Expect water to come out when you open a pump filter; keep a tray and towel ready. If you are not comfortable with any step, stop and call a technician.
