As always, you have loaded the laundry and pressed "start", your LG washing machine made a set of water, made several attempts to spin the drum and finally showed on the screen error LE. In such a case, the drum can be easily rotated by hand, but during the washing process it does not rotate, or hardly moves, strongly rattles and twitches.
This error is most often found on LG washing machines with direct rotation drive.
What does LE error on the LG washing machine mean?
The LE error code indicates that your machine has blocked the motor for some reason. This could happen both because of minor abnormalities, and because of serious breakdowns that require the intervention of a competent specialist.
The LE error can be eliminated by yourself in the following cases:
- Try to open and close the hatch again, you should hear a characteristic click. Maybe the first time it was not fully closed.
- The problem may also be in the control unit of the machine. You should try to let it "rest". Disconnect the power for a few minutes and turn it back on. This option may help if the error has occurred for the first time.
LGI errors and solution - Make sure that the machine is not overloaded, especially if you plan to wash on a delicate program. Try to reduce the portion of laundry.

- Check that the mains voltage is normal.
