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

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

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

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.

LE means "Overload in Motor" Unplug the washer, remove clothes, wait 15 minutes for motor to cool down. try again. If problem persists you'll need a certified technician.
