The code appeared after a rough cycle, machine moved during a load but just before the load was done, we got an LE code and machine won't work. I can get it to start filling but when it comes time to use the motor I get this code. I have looked in the top and back but can't see anything obdvious.
Often this is a motor error. Easily fixed by replacing motor position sensor also know as 'hall' sensor. 20 minutes to replace.
Hope this helps.

This fix below completely fixed my LG front loader issue of the drum "freezing" and "studdering" on fill and a lot of times giving a LE (motor overload) error. Bought position sensor as described and doing a load right now!
Wolfster you are awesome...you saved me probably $200.
Definitely sounds like the position sensor is faulty. I had this happen
to my WM2277HB recently. Motor would start to turn, then jerk, hum, and
not move, eventually gives LE code. Powering down, all the other tips
had no effect. Very unlikely that the motor itself is bad if it still
turns freely. You could confirm the stator wiring is OK by unplugging
it and taking resistance readings across the stator terminals of the
3-pin connector (any combo of two should be 7-15 ohms). I was able to
order the part from an online electronics supplier (www.mcminone.com,
P/N 6501KW2002A, description is "sensor assembly") and several other
places may have it as well. You can download a basic but somewhat
helpful service manual here http://136.166.4.200/contents/Laundry/WM2277.htm
that has some disassembly instructions and exploded view diagrams,
explains the troubleshooting mode. Don't even bother calling LG or a
service tech unless it's under warranty. If you're here you probably
have some basic repair skills and tools
and can easily replace it yourself for about $20. My washer was about a
year and a half old when the sensor went out, now it runs great again.

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.

unplug the machine or turn power to outlet off. wait five minutes. turn all back on should solve problem
