First thing to do is get into bottom of unit there is a drain pump assembly ...remove hoses to drain pump with plug disconnected to washer as power and water don't mix...also have you a few large towels as there is going to be about a gallon of water come out onto floor do it slow and you can keep up with it... check the hoses for obstruction. check pump for any foreign debri and some of the lgs. have a clean out down there check it as well for any debri... before putting the cover back on run unit and see if the drain pump is trying to come on some of these lg units have plastic impellars and can go bad...hopefully you caught it in time.... good luck to you

The LE error message means "locked motor error" which means the control is not seeing the motor running.

The problem can be caused by a broken wire or loose connection but the most likely cause of the problem is a bad hall sensor.

The sensor can be accessed by removing the rear panel and the rotor assembly. See the image below for help with this. Remember to unplug the washer first.

Make sure the rotor and drum rotate. Anything blocking the tub rotation might trigger an LE code.

I have a LG WM2016CW Front Load Washer that is not spinning during wash but does during test mode. What could be the problem?

Replace the motor position sensor also known as a 'hall' sensor. About $20. Pretty easy fix. Check out videos on , repairclinic.com , , appliancepartspros.com , or YouTube.com.
Pretty common erroron older units.

How do I fix a loose or locked up drum that generates LE errors?

you sure it is not and upside down 'F' instead of an L? that would be a hall sensor(motor position sensor) error. easy fix. check out appliancepartspros.com or repairclinic.com for both parts and videos that show how to repair. very easy with common tools. about 20-30 minutes. basically take back cover off, remove motor cover, remove stator, replace part.

Not Spinning LG WM2301HR

Steve R is right except that if the splines in the rotor are stripped you will have to buy a new rotor or the bolt will just continue to lossen itself up. The rotor is $64.33 online. Still a ten minute fix, after you wait a week for part delivery.
