Frigidaire Frigidaire FLCE7522AW Electric Stacked Laundry Center with 4.5 cu ft Washer and 5.5 cu ft Dryer EF5 Error Fix: Unbalanced Load Detected

The washer has detected an unbalanced load during the spin cycle and has reduced the spin speed or stopped spinning. Heavy items bunched on one side of the drum cause imbalance. Open the door and redistribute the items evenly around the drum. Avoid washing single heavy items — add towels to balance. Check the washer leveling and shock absorbers for wear.
