Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. You are right, 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. The hall sensor is
rather easy to replace, and is covered by a seven year part warranty (in US).
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. Snap new sensor on and
reassemble. Usually takes under a half hour. Please do rate the solution
if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
Thanks

Hello &
Welcome to FixYa
LE error in your LG front load washer is displayed
when either the motor is not working or the control board thinks that the motor
is locked up. A Hall effect sensor is used in these washer which monitors the
speed and direction of the motor and then forwards this information to the
control board. Hope you understand by now that this LE error is displayed when
their is an issue with the motor or when the hall effect sensor sends wrong
signal to the control. Conclusion is you'll have to check both motor and hall
sesor and replace the part# that is bad, usually I have seen the sensor going
bad. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
