That means that the drum is sticking and you need to make sure that nothing is between the drum and the edges of it OR the control board has failed. See if the drum turns by hand without much effort.

I do not recommend any extensive repairs to a washing machine when you can by a new top loader for less than $500. Top loaders may use a little more water, but they give good service for many years.

What is the model number of your unit?

Replace the lock switch

Not all that uncommon on some front loaders. Yes, it is trying to lock and unlock. You can try two different things that might work. 1) Unplug the unit and let it set for 5 minutes and see if it then unlocks itself. Some units have a bi-metal timing that can take from 2-4 min. to release after the spin stops. 2) Wake up unit by pressing start or any button that starts the lock clicking. Have your hands on the door with some gentle pressure because if it unlocks you can pull the door open. Sometimes these things get mixed up and lock, unlock, and lock again. Once you get it open it usually clears up and does not happen very often.

(remove pressure tube and blow through it to make sure it is clear first)

Top unscrews, impellor lifts off. Any tangled items can be pulled clear

our machine is not taking the water in and throw out of machine

Usually old conditioner. Remove clean and refit dispenser drawer. While the drawer's out, clean inside where it goes. Once refitted, put cycle on hottest wash you can with no powder or conditioner in. In future use less conditioner and put on a hot wash (empty) once a month

sounds like it slipped off it's mount, STOP USING IT. take the front cover off the machine, usually there will be 2 or 3 clips, use a flathead screwdriver to lift the clips while pulling the cover forward. Be careful not to damage the enamel. use pry bars or an auto scissorjack with some pieces of 2x4 tolift drum and set back on centre.

Voltage is not the problem. The issue is a 60 hz machine in a 50 hz country. The fix is to buy a Jamaican washing machine.

DWF-200MS I have a DAEWOO DWF-200MS top loader washing machine and when I switch it on I get an error code E9. Can you please tell me the fault and how to repair it?

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

'LE' stands for 'Lock Error' indicating that there is a problem either with the door lock or the door locked sensor requiring a service call, sorry ;-0(

try LOVE ELECTRONIC nearby, there in cubao or inquire LG if they accepting your brand for repair or call abenson appliance center in pioneer st. in mandaluyong.

Hi

Error code LE indicates that either the motor is not turning or has locked up for some reason. It can also be due to Hall sensor which monitors direction and speed of the motor. If the sensor is faulty then also this error appears. Motor lock can be caused by several things from a loose connector, to a bad motor. To make sure it's not a locked motor, try turning the drum with your hand. And, if there is any resistance while turning the drum or the drum doesn't move freely then the motor is locked and you'll need to get it replaced. If the motor seems to be fine then you would need to replace the Hall Sensor. To replace the hall sensor, 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. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I suspect 'UE' is 'Unbalance Error'.
It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)
Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.

(If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal suspension is malfunctioning.)

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

I do not have the list of codes for Daewoo but I would guess that it means either 'Load Error' (unbalanced) or 'Lock Error'.
If it has been moving around a lot it will be the former but if not moving around it will be the latter which I would think it will be!!!
However it is worth carrying out the balance check sometime anyway.

Balance

Now Lock Error
There is likely to be a problem with either the door solenoid/lock or the 'door closed' sensor requiring a service engineer's attention I suggest. Sorry ;-0(

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
TRY THIS FIRST, PLEASE!

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call to confirm that it is not something else- like the control board not feeding the correct voltage to the valve ;-0(

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
'LE' stands for Lock Error. There is likely to be a problem with either the lid/door solenoid/lock or the 'lid/door closed' sensor requiring a service engineer's attention I suggest. Sorry ;-0(
