TWhen you receive the LE error code, unplug the machine for approximately 15 - 20
minutes. This will reset the microprocessor.

The LE error code can be an indication of several different issues.

The most common cause is over-sudsing in the machine. Many times owners
experiencing the LE error code are using regular detergent. It is recommended to
use a high efficiency or low sudsing detergent. Many of the leading detergent
manufacturers have a high-efficiency (HE) selection. The HE detergents are
designed for lower suds levels and enhanced cleaning performance in
front-loading washers.

Overloading the wash with too much laundry may also cause the LE error code. A
good rule is to load the washer until the clothes in the drum are no more than
three-fourths of the way up the window of the door. This will allow them
sufficient room for tumbling. The clothing having sufficient room to tumble is
more important than either the weight or the number of items in the washer. It
is the tumbling action that provides the washing effect.

Lastly, a breakdown in the signal between the microprocessor and the motor may
cause the error code. This can occur if there is a loose wire, dislodged ball
sensor, or if the shipping bolts are removed prior to situating the washer. . In
this case, a servicer would need to take a look at the unit. In this case, you
will need a service center to look at your unit. For service assistance, please
visit our website at us.lgservice.com Click on "Service Center". Enter your
zipcode and product type. Click search.

In the event that you cannot find a service center, please call 1-800-243-0000
for assistance. There, an agent will be able to provide you with an Authorized
LG Service Center in your area.

Please have your model and serial number available along with your zip code when
you call. If you have a customer service issue, please let the agent know and
they will set up a customer service file for you. If your unit is under the
factory warranty, your purchase receipt will validate the warranty.

Business hours are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. too many soap suds.

    additional help for future

    If you must use a regular detergent, you will only need to use 1/2-1/3
    the
    amount you would normally use in a conventional top-loading
    machine. However,
    the HE and the conventional detergents are
    different formulae, and your machine
    will not perform as efficiently
    or effectively. Using half the required amount
    of regular detergent
    will
    give half the cleaning performance. As the new LG washers
    accept a larger than
    usual load, the cleaning performance could be
    further reduced. In addition to
    the reduced cleaning, there will be
    oversudsing. The excess suds will cause the
    washer to stop and rid
    itself of the suds before continuing its cycle. Getting
    rid of the
    detergent will further reduce cleaning performance.

    Using too
    much detergent can cause a build-up on the outer drum over time, which
    can
    result in mold and even mildew growth in your washer. Should this
    occur, do
    a load of whites on the SANITARY cycle. Use the extra
    rinse and stain options.
    Use NO detergent and use a liquid bleach.
    This will remove the build-up and any
    odors accompanying it. This
    procedure may need to be repeated a couple of times
    depending on the
    degree of build-up.

    The washing time may vary by the amount of
    laundry, water pressure, water
    temperature, and other using
    conditions.

    The 'SenseClean Washing System' has a built-in
    turbidity sensor that measures
    the detergent/suds residue in the
    water during the rinse and then makes an
    adjustment of time and
    water usage based on the detected residue level.

    The machine
    will detect an imbalance and attempt to correct it. If the imbalance
    is
    detected or if the suds removing program operates, the wash time will
    be
    increased.

    A built-in water heater in the washer assures
    that incoming water is the correct
    temperature to optimize cleaning
    performance. Most laundry detergents must be
    activated at certain
    temperatures to work correctly. We use thermisters
    (electronic
    thermostats that have a high degree of accuracy) to detect incoming
    water
    temperatures. Our 1000-watt heater adjusts the incoming water to
    ensure
    superior thermal action performance.

    You won't see a
    "visible" water level in the window of the unit. The water is
    pooled
    in the inner drum. RollerJets are built into the baffles of the
    washer.
    The holes in the baffle collect water and re-circulate it
    during the wash. This
    increases the mechanical action to achieve
    best cleaning performance. The
    rollers gently move fabrics
    along
    in the wash cycle.

    This action aids in reducing the amount of
    water required for thorough
    cleansing. In contrast with a
    top-loading machine, which always fills the
    machine to a precise
    measured level of water, depending on the size of load you
    select
    (small, medium, large), the LG machine will "sense" the size of the
    load
    and only recirculate a minimal amount of water, thus making it
    very energy
    efficient, efficient in the use of detergents, and
    extremely efficient in its
    water usage.

    Forced Water
    Circulation in the washer pumps water during the wash. It
    recirculates
    it back up and over the laundry to further increase mechanical
    action
    and cleaning performance.

    With front loading washers, the door
    seals so very tightly unlike a conventional
    machine, that it is
    recommended to dry the seal when you are done with your
    laundry for
    the day to prevent an atmosphere where mold and mildew can grow.

    To
    get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with
    the
    same wash cycle. Different fabrics need to be washed in
    different ways. Always
    sort dark colors from pale colors and whites.
    Wash separately as dye and lint
    transfer can occur causing
    discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not
    wash heavily
    soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

    Combine large and small
    items in a load. Load large items first. Large items
    should not be
    more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
    may
    cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

LG Trom front loading washer won't go to the spin cycle. It stopped mid cycle when our well bottom got stirred up because a toilet ran all day. When we tried to get it to resume the cycle it just drained the water and started to 'hum' and do the occasional rotate but nothing more. Even the timer won't go down any. Water seems to be getting in the washer, draining but nothing else. What could it be

SOURCE: LG Washer

I had the same error code along with the drum "freezing" up. The first unit that was delivered 2 years ago leaked water from the detergent compartment and they sent a second unit. I have only had this unit for 2 years and I am very disappointed in the LG product. LG was no help on the phone and I the only people that could service it were 45min away from were I live. I took the advice of a posting on this website that it could be a part called the sensor assembly (#6501KW2002A) and ordered it from an online electronics store (www.mcminone.com). To get to the sensor assembly, you first unplug and take off the back plate that has 4 small screws. Next, unscrew the big bolt in the middle and take off the hubcap looking part the bolt was securing. Next unclip the two sets of wires on the bottom of the circle you are looking at (the set of wires to the right are connected to the sensor assembly you want to replace). Next you will unscrew the 6 or so smaller bolts to take off the circular piece that the sensor assembly is snapped to. Take it off, unclip the old sensor assembly and clip on the new one – and reassemble. This worked perfectly for me and the part only cost $18 bucks plus shipping. When working, this product works well but I will not be purchasing any LG products in the future.

I have an LG Tromm washer. I start it up it start

Hi,


LE code stands for locked motor error. When this error code appears in your front load washer it indicates a fault in the motor unit.

1 . Check the connections to the Coil/Stator at the rear of the unit possibly it should be something like a broken wire.

2 . Coil/Stator Assembly will be defective preventing the drive to operate.You should go for a replacement of that assembly.


Thank you !!

On a LG Tromm washer, what does error code ''LE'' mean?

LE indicates the motor is locked. Check the 3 pin connector at the motor and check the 4 pin connector at the main control if they look good ( no corrosion and fit tight) replace the Hall Sensor. You can enter your model # at www.appliancehelponline.com for diagrams and illustrations.

LG Tromm washer is not working with getting LE message.

LE code means locked motor error. you need to check the Hall Sensor. unplug the power, remove the rear washer panel, locate the Hall sensor connector on the stator behind the rotor. you can test it with an OHM meter for failure. it may just be an unstable connection.

Error message displayed on LG tromm washer model # wmt2778w

Flashing UE - The display shows:
• Load is too small.
• Load is out of balance.
• The washer has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy articles are loaded (bath mat, bath robe, etc.) and the imbalance is too great, the washer will make several attempts to restart the spin cycle. If an imbalance is still detected, the washer will stop and the error code will be
displayed.

Possible Solution
• Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.
• Rearrange items to help balance the load.
• Control error.
