Been doing a lot of clothes today?
Do you use more than a teaspoon of HE soap?
Washer been growling like a grizzly?
Those are signs of a overheated hall sensor.
These machines only use a gallon of water.
Any overage of soap will cause a suds lock.
The motor will try and FIX it by dumping extra water in and doing more work. Till finally an LE error will be declared.
If you are confident you are not overdoing the soap thing then you need to take a look at the wiring between the control and motor. It is a strong possibility the harness connection has vibrated lose OR you have a broken wire between the control and motor. If you want a service manual let me know.

Le code appears during normal cycle
LG recommends unplugging the washer for 15 - 20
minutes to reset the microprocessor.

The most common cause for the LE error code is over-sudsing in the machine from using regular detergent instead of a high efficiency detergent. The HE detergents are designed for lower suds levels and enhanced cleaning performance in front-loading washers.

Overloading the wash with too much laundry may also cause the LE error code. LG recommends loading the washer until the clothes in the drum are no more than three-fourths of the way up the window of the door. This will allow them sufficient room for tumbling.

I have a LG TROMM washer.It is not washing properly.
LE stands for overload in motor. Wait 30 minutes before restarting. If it happens again try again without a load.Good luck. Please rate me so I know how I'm doing. Thanks.

WAsher not working
FL means 'failed to lock' the door didn't lock, so it didn't complete the cycle. Sometimes it's just because the door didn't shut completely or you may have a bad door latch assembly, or worse case, a bad control board. First try unplugging it for 5 minutes, then try starting another load making sure the door is closed completely, if that doesn't help you'll need to open it up to test the door latch.

Asko 10505 - wash finished, door won't open
it is most likely your machine may have a draining problem. if it cant drain the water out the door wont open. if you open the small door at the front bottom of the machine you will find the little black drain hose. unplug the hose off the door and drain machine. when the machine is empty try powering on and opening the door. if still no luck you will see (in the same location) a red pull ring. undo the screw holding the ring in position and gently pull until the door releases. it would be worth undoing the button trap lid to access the pump and check for any blockages (most common coins **** pins etc) let me know how you get on.
