LE code on Kenmore washer
An LE error code is displayed when the tub fails to spin. The error code indicates that the motor can't operate properly because you've overloaded the washing machine, or a foreign object is stuck in the tub.

Why is an LE error code displayed on my washing machine?

error is too big of load possible motor draw too much or bad bearings

Hi Adrianna,

Perhaps you have washed too big of a load causing the motor to lock up.

This is from LG:

"An LE error code on the washer's display indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load.
Large and heavy sized loads will put a strain on the motor, causing the LE code to occur. Performing a reset on the washer will normally resolve this error with a reduced load size. But if the error code displays on every washing cycle, the unit will require a repair service."

Have you tried restting the machine?

If you have done all this, and still not working, will probably to call a repairer to come out and have a look at your motor.

Hope this helps!

According to the service manual,

Daewoo Washing Machine Error Fault Code = LE
Fault Detected: Washing Machine Door Open
Washer Has Detected: Washing machine detected door as open or not locked
Check / Repair / Fix = Close door – Door lock switch – Door latch – PCB

Yuo might try making sure it is still level but I'd just try using a lower spin speed. How have to use "gentle spin" when I wash towels or my washing machine has errors and stops. If still too damp just use a gentle spin only cycle once more to finish the job.

LE Washing machine door opening error
The washing machine or washer dryer door has been detected as open or unlocked.
·Close the door!
·Check the door lock switch
·Check the door latch

my daewoo washing machine has error code LE
after every wash , it cannot rinse and spin then show
beep sound and show code LE. Thank you

I'm sorry I only have service info on US market models, but this info might help.

LE codes are extensively covered in past Fix-Ya solutions, but are generally caused by only a handful of things. 1. the " Load Error " can be a very off balanced load. 2. excessive use of soap leads to too much suds, and thus drag on the inner tub. (use 1 tablespoon of HE soap max. per load) or 3. the Hall sensor (part number 6501KW2001A) has failed. The hall sensor is rather easy to replace, and is covered by a seven year part warranty. 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. On a difficulty scale of 1 - 10, it might rate a 4. This should be a Fix-Ya for your machine, and at basically no cost!

Question Locked motor error code.
Answer
LE error code: This indicates a locked motor condition. Please check the following conditions. Large loads of laundry can put a strain on the motor causing the LE error code. Try removing some clothing and restart. Excessive suds can cause the LE error code. Make sure the customer is using an HE (High Efficiency) detergent. They should decrease the amount of detergent until the machine washes without suds. A few bubbles can be expected. Areas that have �soft� water will usually need to use less detergent. If you suspect that excessive suds are the problem, let the machine stand for 30 min (motor cool down) and then run a rinse and spin cycle before restarting the load. If these directions are followed and the code persists, the machine will likely need service. .
