Imagine that you loaded your laundry into the washing machine drum as usual, turned on the wash cycle, but unfortunately, after a while, to your deep chagrin and disappointment, you discovered dirty water all over your floor, and the error code LE or LE1 is displayed on your washing machine's display.
Error LE on my Samsung washing machine. What should I do?
Or perhaps this error appeared literally immediately after turning on the washing machine:
- less than a few seconds after launch;
- For several minutes the machine drains and fills with water at the same time, and then the error le appears.
It is also possible that the error code le appeared during the washing process, although at a superficial glance no problems are visible.
If your Samsung washing machine does not have a display, the error is indicated by all mode indicators flashing and the cold wash and Bio 60 indicators lighting up.
What does error LE or LE1 mean?
Both of these errors indicate the same thing. The washing machine drained the water from the tank on its own, and the water level sensor detected a decrease in the water level four times in a row.
If your machine has an Aquastop, the float in the tray may also have detected the leak. In this case, the LE error will also appear.
If your Samsung washing machine displays this error, don't rush to call a professional for help. You might be able to fix the problem yourself.
You can fix the LE error yourself in the following cases:
- When it's all about the drainage system.
Check your drain hose, it might be the cause. - In the case when your washing machine immediately after starting does only what it does at the same time for several minutes fills and drains waterIf the error code "le" appears, check the drain hose connection level with the sewer. If it's below the tank level, it's not connected properly. Hose It must have a top hinge. Install it correctly, or hire a professional.
- Maybe the problem lies in drain filter? You should make sure that it is fully tightened.
- If, along with the le error, water leaks from the detergent dispenser, you need to clean its channels; most likely, they are clogged with the remains of washing powder and conditioner.
- If foam appears from the dispenser instead of water, and the LE error code still appears, the problem is likely due to incompatible laundry detergent. It's also possible that you've overdosed. Try switching to a higher-quality detergent. Also, remember to halve the amount of detergent when washing fluffy or porous items.
- Check that the connections from the tray to the tank and from the tank to the pump are properly arranged. Water leaks may be present at the connections.
- The problem could also be with the machine's control unit. Try letting it "rest." Disconnect the power for a few minutes and then turn it back on.
- Are the electrical connections secure? There may be a problem somewhere that needs to be addressed.
- Inspect your washing machine again for any deviations from the normal condition; perhaps the reason for the le error is elementary simple.
If none of the above helps you, then most likely your washing machine needs the help of a specialist.
