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
Over-sudsing is the main cause of LE error codes. Using non-HE (high efficiency) detergents or too much detergent will cause stress on the motor. In addition, detergent residue can also cause leaking and odor. Follow these steps to resolved an LE error code caused by over-sudsing.
Step 1: Unplug the washer and allow the unit to sit for 30 minutes to give the suds time to dissolve.
Step 2: Plug the washer back in and press [Power] to turn on the washer.
Step 3: Do not choose a washing cycle. Press the [Spin Speed] key until "No Spin" is selected.
Step 4: Press [Start/Pause] to begin a drain only cycle.
Step 5: After the drain only cycle has completed, remove the clothing items from the machine. Turn the power back on and select [Rinse and Spin] and then press [Start/Pause]. This will remove excess soap suds and light residue from the drum. Repeat this step until no visible suds are in the drum of the washer.
