Washer is showing a le code and will not work
Your LG washing machine’s motor is controlled by the main circuit board. This is the brain of your washing machine. Depending on the selected program and which cycle is currently running, the PCB will tell the motor which speed to run at and which direction to turn. The Hall Effect sensor on the main circuit board is fed operational feedback from the motor. If there is any difference between what the motor should be doing and what it is actually doing – the appliance will stop operating and display an “LE” error.
For example: if the main circuit board tells the motor to rotate clockwise at a certain speed and the motor doesn’t start, the monitoring sensor will relay this inactivity to the main PCB and a “LE” error will persist. The same error would be displayed if the motor rotates in the wrong direction or runs at the wrong speed. It should be evident there are many faults that could produce the “LE” error code. Failure of one of the major components or a fault in the monitoring and feedback loop, could all lead to this problem. It is true however, some faults occur more regularly than others. Test for the most common causes of failure, eliminate them, and move on to more unlikely faults.
Many causes for the “LE” error are thought to stem from LG’s manufacturing process. Many customers found the wiring damaged or completely severed in their washing machine’s motor drive and feedback loop. If the wires were installed too close to a moving part, they may be vulnerable to mechanical wear once the machine starts to operate. A washing machine vibrates a lot during a spinning cycle, so it is conceivable wires could be damaged in this way. Check the cables feeding the motor for any obvious signs of damage. If you cannot see any problem, disconnect those wires and check for conductivity with a multi-meter. There should be almost no resistance detected in the wire.
If you find a damaged wire, replace it and ensure the new wire is well out of the way of any moving parts. If the wire is faultless you will have to move on and continue fault finding. Try and turn the motor’s rotor by hand, if there is any real friction or if the rotor is seized – you will have to replace the motor. Faultless wiring and a washing machine motor - with the existence of an “LE” error code, indicates a fault in the main system board. It should be noted though; this is unlikely to be the cause of the problem. Almost all “LE” errors indicate faulty wiring - so ensure you have properly checked this before installing a new PCB.

THE DE ERROR CAME ON
Hi,
A DE Error Code is
indicative of a “Door Error”. This indicates that the washing machine door is
not shutting, locking or opening
If happening in mid
cycle power of the unit and remove the power cord and wait for 5 mins.Then plug
it. Check whether the door opens if not you require the service people
Check anything is caught on the washer door.
If you passed it they
door may not open if the inside water is warm.It is a safety feature.It unlock
after sometime
Thank You

I AM ALWAYS GETTING MOLD INSIDE THE LG FRONT
Hi
Try using bleach with hot water, run a cycle with hot water and bleach. Or spray bleach +water mixture on the seal. Run a cleaning cycle with hot water and bleach or vinegar at least once a month to reduce the growth of mold in other parts of the washer. If the growth is very high then try and leave the door open for 4-5 hours and let it dry and then spray the bleach+water (3:1) mixture on the seal. Let it dry for another 2-3 hours. You may need to change the seal in case of extreme growth of mold. Hope this helps...

You can move your washer without your shipping pins. Those are for shipping long distances from where they are made!

The compartment that you put the soap in sometimes
THAT MEANS ONE THING. REMOVE IT AND RUN IT IN WARM WATER, CLEAN IT OF ALL SOAP FILM AND ETC. ON THE SLOT FOR THE BLEACH AND FABRIC SOFTENER, FILL WITH WATER TO THE MAX LINE, LET IT SETTLE, THEN ADD WATER TO IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT FLOWS THROUGH DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DISPENSER.

Sounds like a bearing is going out howls when
You're probably correct...Get quotes to replace seal, bearings and probably the pulley shaft as well, because the shaft may be grooved and the seals may not last......Good luck...Nomess

My washing machine keeps shutting down and blowing a fuse.
You must have a short circuit ,try disconnecting things start with the heater element, disconnect one wire see if it still blows...next try motor plug, until the fault clears at least this tells you what the problem part is.....

Washer bounces all over the place
DOES IT BOUNCE WITHOUT CLOTHES, IF SO YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR APPLIANCE TECH. IF NOT IT MAY BE THE SIZE OF LOAD. THE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS USUALLY HAVE A NYLON STRAP TO REMOVE.

LG WM-2077C CODE LE
LE stands for locked motor error. Sometimes just unplugging it for about 10 minutes will fix it, but if not you will probably have to replace the motor position sensor(hall sensor) or the motor.

My LG front loading Washer 1.5 yrs old
They told you right. This problem has to be done by a service tech. If you are sure it is level and all feet are touching the floor when it vibrates it is an internal problem.

Washer won't run display flases LE
You have a bad hall sensor(tach) it plugs onto the bottom of the motor after removing the back cover. Use a 10 mm socket to loosen the motor unplug the old hall sensor plug the new one in and reverse what you did. If this does not work, you have a bad motor which is warrantied for 7 years.
