And am still getting the error. The machine will not drain and has quite a bit of water in it. I have tried unplugging it, running it on a no-spin cycle, etc. When I tried the no-spin cycle, it will fill, agitate, then when it starts to try to drain, the LE error comes on. The drum turns fine and there is no burnt smell. It just keeps giving the LE error.
Sorry folks, your answers do not apply to my Tromm 2277 washer. We previously had replaced the Hall Sensor and Stator Assembly. It would work for several washings, but the dreaded LE light would reappear. Then the control board burned out. We ordered a new one. After several more washings, the new control board burned out. We decided it was time to replace the machine. My Tromm was about 11 years old and I guess it just wasn't fixable. We replaced it with a LG Model WT1101CW top loader. This washer has a large 4.3 Stainless Steel Drum. It has no agitator and is a water miser. Runs quite and doesn't use much detergent. Has settings for large or small loads an will adjust water usage. Even plays a melody when the load is finished. Both Lowes and Home Depot were having a sale. I also got a $25.00 rebate from Georgia Power.

With a digital volt meter you need to measure the ohms value of the hall sensor. It has 4 wires. White red blue and gray. With the meter set at 20k ohms check hall sensor at the control panel. From white to blue you should read 9.5 K ohms. Same with white to red. If u get 9.5k ohms on both readings u have a bad main board. However to me I think your pump is bad. LG washers will not spin if they don't drain.

I fixed this myself. I found an on-line LG service manual and bought the hall sensor (about $30). It took all of a half an hour to repair this myself. I read that too much soap and fabric softener will make the circuits on the mother board heat up and short out the hall sensor (gunk and resistance on the wash drum). It is running like a top again. The local parts store said to periodically run bleach and water through the soap, and softener despenser to help keep it clean.

Check first if repositioning the drain hose would help solve the problem. If your unit employs a drain valve, have it checked out. It has a solenoid or a small motor that opens and closes the part. Check as well the drain pump if it is running or no power is being supplied. Have the wire checked to see if there are loose connections.

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.
Has a large load size been used with a gentle wash setting?
Gentle wash cycles such as Perm Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, and Wool/Silk should only be used for smaller loads. Because the cycles are more gentle while tumbling and spinning, too many items in the drum can register as an issue with the motor. In this instance reset the unit and run a test rinse and spin cycle.
Has the washer been overloaded?
Single bulky items or large loads can add extra weight to the drum and place stress on the motor. Remove some of the clothing and restart. If the issue is still present after a few items have been removed, unplug the washer for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool and then restart the cycle.
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.
