I had the same error code along with the drum "freezing" up. The first unit that was delivered 2 years ago leaked water from the detergent compartment and they sent a second unit. I have only had this unit for 2 years and I am very disappointed in the LG product. LG was no help on the phone and I the only people that could service it were 45min away from were I live. I took the advice of a posting on this website that it could be a part called the sensor assembly (#6501KW2002A) and ordered it from an online electronics store (www.mcminone.com). To get to the sensor assembly, you first unplug and take off the back plate that has 4 small screws. Next, unscrew the big bolt in the middle and take off the hubcap looking part the bolt was securing. Next unclip the two sets of wires on the bottom of the circle you are looking at (the set of wires to the right are connected to the sensor assembly you want to replace). Next you will unscrew the 6 or so smaller bolts to take off the circular piece that the sensor assembly is snapped to. Take it off, unclip the old sensor assembly and clip on the new one – and reassemble. This worked perfectly for me and the part only cost $18 bucks plus shipping. When working, this product works well but I will not be purchasing any LG products in the future.

Hello remrama,
Please use this link to access the service manual on your display code message ( page 18 ) elaborates on the cause of that message. You should be able to determine which of the few causes may be the culpret,... http://136.166.4.200/contents/Laundry/WM2277/WM2277xx_Service_Manual.pdf

I have this problem and you can find the solution on this same web page by searching. It is likely the Hall Sensor that needs to be replaced (see proflevy posting on Jul 16, 2008). According to the postings, it is from soap build up on the sensor and replacing it costs $18 for the part and is easy (many responses on this). I am waiting for the part and will try to fix mine soon.
SOURCE: LG LE error. WM2277HW Have replaced the Hall Sensor and ran
As long as that Tide HE is not 2x or 3x concentrated, that would be the maximum amount of detergent for a large, heavily soiled load. Lighter soiled and/or smaller loads should be about 1 tablespoon. If 2x concentrate soap, use only half that. The reason this could cause an LE error is that suds between the inner and outer drum will cause excessive drag on the inner tub, with the possible result of an LE error. I'd try to run a load on Sanitary, heavy soil level, with no clothes, and a washer cleaner such as Affresh, Washer Magic, Whirlaway hot tub cleaner, Smellywasher cleaner, or Tide washer cleaner to remove any possible build up of soap residue from the outer tub area.
Sometimes, cycle selection/ loading level/ load type can cause LE errors. Gentle wash cycles, such as Perm Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, and Wool/Silk should only be used for smaller loads. Because these cycles are more gentle in tumbling and spinning, putting too much in the drum can register an issue with the motor. Remove items, reset unit and test with a Rinse/Spin cycle.
Another possiblility would be a loose electrical connection dealing with the Hall sensor, at the sensor, the control board, or (much more unlikely) the wire connecting them.
On rare occasion, the main control board can be at fault, but generally, replacing the Hall sensor does take care of the problem. (over 90% of the time)
Testimonial: "Right on with the solution...After fully disassembling the washer ohming all the wires checking all connections. It turns out a loose hall sensor."

Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. You are right, the 'LE' error message indicates the control
board has detected that the motor is either not turning, or has locked up for
some reason. Monitoring the motor is the job of the Hall Effect sensor board
which constantly determines the direction and speed of the motor and feeds that
information back to the control board. If there is a problem between what the
motor should be doing and what the hall effect sensor says the motor is doing,
the 'LE' will be displayed and the cycle will be stopped. The hall sensor is
rather easy to replace, and is covered by a seven year part warranty (in US).
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. Snap new sensor on and
reassemble. Usually takes under a half hour. Please do rate the solution
if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
Thanks

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.
