If your LG washer is displaying the “LE” error code, it typically indicates a problem with the motor or motor sensor. The “LE” error, which stands for “Locked Motor Error,” occurs when the washer detects that the motor is unable to turn properly during the cycle. This can disrupt the washing process and may require troubleshooting to resolve the issue.
Common Causes of the “LE” Error:
- Overloading: Overloading the washer with too many clothes can strain the motor and trigger the “LE” error. Ensure that you’re not exceeding the recommended load capacity for your washer to prevent this issue.
- Worn Motor Components: Wear and tear on the motor components over time can cause them to malfunction, leading to the “LE” error. This may include worn bearings, damaged rotor assembly, or faulty motor windings.
- Motor Sensor Issues: A malfunctioning motor sensor, also known as the Hall sensor or rotor position sensor, can fail to accurately detect the motor’s rotation, triggering the “LE” error. This sensor plays a crucial role in controlling the motor’s operation.
