first check your filter and pi[pes for blockage. many washers have a filter at bottom front behind the lower cover

If the machine is filling with water ok, then your water valve ("solenoid") is not the problem.
Perhaps the washer is not sensing the water level change - find the 9mm air hose attched to circular pressure (level) sensor, remove it and blow air down through it into the bowl to clear any blockage.

LE LE1 E9 11E Natural drain/Water leak - Low water level detected during cycle. · Check that the level of the drain hose is not lower than the base of the washing machine. Additionally check for a water leak. If no trace of water, switch off the power, reconnect and try again. · If problem persists please call the customer support team.

The code stands for pressure or fill level, check this sensor

i would check the cold water solenoid firstly take off the tap to washer hose and you will see a plastic filterin the solenoid which you can pull out with a pair of long nose pliers to see if its blocked,if good it may have a faulty solenoid check water pressure at the end of the by turning the tap on and direct the water into the sink

No, you have a water level switch problem. Simple solution is to pull the hose from the water level switch and blow into the hose to clear out the debris. DO NOT BLOW INTO THE WATER LEVEL SWITCH!!! It will break!!! Replace the hose back onto the water level switch and it should work fine. Good luck

Hello
Remember this washer is a water saver.I have the same question on my new washer.What i do is increase the size of the load.
Instead of running it on light load, ill put it on heavy this will allow more water to fill.

LE is a water level issue.


- The part of the hose where the water level sensor is
located is damaged (punctured).
- The hose is clogged with foreign material.
- The hose is folded.
- Too much lubricant has been applied to the insertion
part of the air hose.
- Hose engagement error (disengaged)
- Part fault (Faulty internal soldering)
- The water level sensor terminal is disengaged.
- Main PBA fault.
