Hi Error
code LE indicates that either the motor is not turning or has locked up for
some reason. It can also be due to Hall sensor which monitors direction and
speed of the motor. If the sensor is faulty then also this error appears. Motor
lock can be caused by several things from a loose connector, to a bad motor. To
make sure it's not a locked motor, try turning the drum with your hand. And, if
there is any resistance while turning the drum or the drum doesn't move freely
then the motor is locked and you'll need to get it replaced. If the motor seems
to be fine then you would need to replace the Hall Sensor. To replace the hall
sensor, take the back cover off. Take the big nut off and remove the motor
rotor. Remove the bolts holding the motor windings. Remove the electric plug on
the sensor and unclip it from the motor winding. Hope this
helps...please post back for further assistance. Daniel
Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
LE error in your LG front load washer is displayed
when either the motor is not working or the control board thinks that the motor
is locked up. A Hall effect sensor is used in these washer which monitors the
speed and direction of the motor and then forwards this information to the
control board. Hope you understand by now that this LE error is displayed when
their is an issue with the motor or when the hall effect sensor sends wrong
signal to the control. Conclusion is you'll have to check both motor and hall
sesor and replace the part# that is bad, usually I have seen the sensor going
bad. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
