Imagine that you have loaded the laundry in the drum of your washing machine as usual, turned on the washing mode, but here is trouble, after some time you found all the dirty water on your floor to your deep disappointment and frustration, and on the display of your washing machine the error code LE or LE1 is lit.
LE error on samsung washing machine. What to do?
Or perhaps this error appeared literally immediately after turning on the washing:
- not even a few seconds after starting;
- for a few minutes the machine drains and pours water at the same time, and then the error le appears.
It may be so, the error code le appeared during the washing process, although on the surface there are no irregularities visible.
What does error LE or LE1 mean?
Both of these errors tell us the same thing. The washing machine has drained the water from the tank on its own and the level sensor has detected a lower level change four times in a row.
If your machine has an aquastop, the leak could also be detected by the float, which is in the pan. In this case, the error will also be lit le.
If your Samsung washing machine has issued this error, do not rush to call for professional help. You may be able to handle the problem yourself.
You can fix the LE error yourself in the following cases:
- When it is all about the drainage system.
Check your drain hose, it may be the cause. - When your washing machine immediately after starting for a few minutes does nothing but simultaneously water in and out at the same timeand then the le error appears, check the level of the drain hose connection to the drain. If it is below the level of the tank, it is wrong. The hose Make sure the hose has a top hinge. Install it correctly, or use the services of a professional.
- Maybe the problem is in the drain filter? Make sure it is completely screwed in.
- If, together with the le error, water oozes from the detergent dispenser, it is necessary to clean its channels, most likely they are clogged with residues of detergent and conditioner.
- If there is foam coming out of the dispenser instead of water, and we are still worried about the error code le, then the matter is probably the incompatibility of the detergent. Or maybe it is an overdose of detergent. Try to change the powder to a better one. Also draw your attention to the fact that when washing fluffy or porous things, the amount of powder should be halved.
- Check whether the connections of the pipes from the tray to the tank and from the tank to the pump are properly arranged. Water may be leaking at the connections.
- The problem may also be in the control unit of the machine. You should try to let it "rest". Disconnect the power supply for a few minutes and turn it on again.
- Are the electrical contacts reliable? Perhaps there are irregularities somewhere and they should be repaired.
- Inspect your washing machine again for irregularities, perhaps the cause of the error le elementary simple.
