Possible causes

• Leak in the washing machine itself: 
  • This could be due to worn-out hoses, loose connections, cracks in the tub, or faulty internal components like the drain pump or pressure switch.
• Clogged drain hose: 
  • A blockage in the drain hose can prevent water from draining properly, leading to an overflow and triggering the LE error.
• Excessive suds:
  • Using too much detergent or the wrong type can create excessive suds that activate the water leak sensor.
• Door not properly closed: 
  • A faulty door switch or an object caught in the door seal can prevent the door from closing securely, causing the machine to detect a leak.

Troubleshooting the LE Error Code

1. Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Visually inspect for leaks: 
   • Check for any visible water leaks around the machine, especially near the hoses, connections, and the bottom of the tub.
3. Check the drain hose: 
   • Ensure the drain hose isn't kinked or clogged. You can disconnect it from the drain and look for any blockages inside.
4. Open the washing machine door: 

   • Look for any objects stuck in the door seal or preventing the door from closing securely

     

5. Run an empty rinse cycle: 
   • If no leaks are found, try running an empty rinse cycle without any clothes or detergent. This can help flush out any excess suds that might be triggering the error.
6. Consult the user manual: 
   • Your washing machine's user manual might have specific troubleshooting steps for the LE error code for your particular model.

Additional Tips

• If you're unable to identify the source of the leak or fix the problem yourself, it's best to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
• To prevent future leaks, use the recommended amount of detergent and ensure you're using the right type for your washing machine.
• Regularly inspect the hoses and connections for any signs of wear or tear.
• Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can put extra strain on the tub and hoses.
