Anonymous Posted on Jun 17, 2011

I have a lg tromm wm2277hb and it's not spinning. The le error code is coming on. I tried to unplug the unit and press and hold start button and then the power button for 5 seconds. Then tried the rinse & spin cycle. It didn't work. What else can I try?

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...

    I have the same LE error. I have tried to unplug, drain water, and disconnect water all for 2 hours. I noted you said that either the Hall Effect sensor could be bad or the motor could be locked up which requires another motor. I am guessing that the hall effect sensor is used to tell direction of the motor and if it doesn't trigger(on/off) then the Washer becomes confused. HOW does a motor get locked up? The techs said to spin to test it, when? Spin to test when the unit if off? When the unit is on, but not in 'Play' mode? My unit usually get 30 minutes into the cycle before I see this LE error.

Suggest try same again.
Modern appliances have a zillion circuit connections of which any one of them can develop a "bug".
Unless it is under warranty it's usually less trouble and cost to simply replace it.

LE error and the Model number is WM2277HB. What is the difference in the last two numbers?

Hi

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.

This error can sometimes present because of a miscommunication between the control panel and the wash motor. In this instance, the washer simply needs to be reset.

Step 1: Unplug the washing machine.

Step 2: While the washer remains unplugged, press and hold the [Start/Pause] button on the front panel for 5 seconds.
Step 3: Plug the unit back in, and run a rinse and spin cycle to test if the LE code is cleared.

Please get back to us if you have further query or else please accept the solution.

Are there soap suds visible in the drum?
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 3: Do not choose a washing cycle. Press the [Spin Speed] key until "No Spin" is selected.

LG Tromm wm1814cw LE flashing on digital display,

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.
