As always, you loaded your laundry and pressed "start", your LG washing machine made a set of water, made several attempts to spin the drum and eventually showed an LE error on the screen. At the same time, the drum can be easily scrolled by hand, but during the washing process it does not spin, or it barely moves and rattles and twitches a lot.
This error is most often found on LG direct drive washing machines.
What does LE error mean on LG washing machine?
The LE error code indicates that your washing machine has blocked the motor for some reason. This could happen, both due to minor deviations, and due to serious breakdowns that require the intervention of a competent specialist.
You can fix the LE error yourself in the following cases:
- Try to open and close the hatch again, you should hear a characteristic click. Maybe the first time it was not completely closed.
- The problem may lie in the control unit of the washing machine. You should try to give her a "rest". Unplug the power for a few minutes and plug it back in. This option may help if the error occurs for the first time.
- Make sure that the washing machine is not overloaded, especially if you plan to wash on a delicate program. Try reducing the amount of laundry.
- Check the drum for foreign objects. Perhaps some small element interferes with its movement.
- Make sure the mains voltage is correct.
