What does LE error mean in LG washing machine?

Modern washing machines are equipped with a special function to help determine the type and location of the fault. Just know, for example, what the error code LE is in the LG washing machine. When this code appears on the scoreboard, the machine can be in any stage of washing, therefore, in order to properly repair the breakage, you need to know what the code means and what needs to be done.

Decoding errors and first steps

Generally a trouble code LE means overloading the motor, but not everything is so simple. This error usually indicates that there are some problems in the electrical network: either external or internal.

The simplest thing that can happen is that after loading the laundry into the drum it was not closed and the hatch was blocked.

The lock sensor did not work, the network did not close, so the machine refuses to work and gives an error (IE) LE. The actions in this case are very simple: you need to open the hatch and close it tightly again.

If this doesn't help, then maybe a small control unit failure. In this case, you can give the car time to relax. To do this, simply unplug the appliance from the power supply, wait about 15 minutes, and then try to turn on the device again by re-selecting the washing program. In most cases, during the initial occurrence of this error after a small “rest,” the machine starts to work properly again.

If this does not help, then another reason for the display of the LE code on the electronic scoreboard may be unstable voltage in the external power grid. In this case, you need to install a voltage regulator through which the device will connect to the network.

Causes of failure, diagnostics and methods of repair

However, if the cause of the error is more serious, then specialist inspection and repair will be required. If the procedures do not help, then you need to know what to do next. Here are some serious reasons for displaying the code on the board:

1. The door is not closed (the handle, the blocking device or the sensor of this device broke).
2. Fault controller, that is, the machine can not fully work.
3. The problem is in the electric circuit of the engine (the winding has failed).
4. Speed ​​control sensors broke down.

It can be quite difficult to see exactly what is causing the breakdown. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and pay attention to various signs, it should be done in the process of washing.

If at the closing of the hatch there is no characteristic click or the door handle feels somehow weak, then, most likely, the cause is a breakdown in the lock or the locking device. If the machine washes, and then refuses to rinse, then the device control device is probably broken. If the machine buzzes, shakes and slowly turns the drum during washing, then the speed control sensors do not work correctly.

But to check the internal electrical circuit of the engine, you will need to remove the back wall of the unit and use a multimeterto check for breakdowns. The winding may have been damaged and a short circuit occurs.

All these actions are best entrusted to professionals, because they can accurately determine the cause of the failure and quickly and accurately eliminate it. The solution to all these problems is the complete or partial replacement of damaged machine parts.
