LE error in the washing machine

le errorErrors displayed on the display of the washing machine in the form of codes are needed in order to inform us of a machine breakdown or to warn us of a possible breakdown. There are a lot of error codes, in this article we will talk about the LE error on the Samsung washing machine.

Description and causes of the LE error

The LE code, and on some models of LC machines, appears on the screen in the event that a water leak has occurred from the tank of the machine. Moreover, the water level drops sharply. When this error occurs, the machine stops so that the heating element does not turn on. After all if the heater is heated without water, it will simply burn.

The reasons for such a spontaneous leakage of water are not few, we list them:

  • The mounting of the heating element has broken.
  • The air tube is disconnected and water is drained out during the spin cycle.
  • The water tank is damaged at the joints with bolts.
  • Detergent hose not connected correctly.
  • The drain hose is incorrectly connected and located.
  • Damage to the drain hose.
  • The drain filter is not closed properly.

The LE error on the washing machine most often appears before rinsing.

location of the drain hose on the machineWhen the machine generates an LE error, you must immediately de-energize it. First, press the power button on the control panel of the machine, and then pull it out of the socket.

Now we determine the error. You can start by checking the drain hose. To prevent water leakage, you need to properly fix it. One end of the drain hose is initially located inside the machine, and is fixed at the bottom, it does not need to be touched. The second end is directed upwards and the hose is fixed on the hook, which the manufacturer took care of beforehand by mounting it in the upper part of the machine. The rest of the hose is directed down to the branch of the sewer pipe of the sink.

The hose to the drain pipe must be well sealed and located at least 60 cm from the floor. How to change the drain hose of the washing machine, this question may arise if a crack appears in the drain hose, resulting in a LE error.

Important! It is not recommended to join the drain hose in order to increase its length. An additional connection point can cause water leakage. In addition, when pumping a hose that is too long, the drain pump will fail.

Easy to check drain filter. It is enough to open the cover by turning it counterclockwise. And then closing again by turning clockwise. The filter cover should fit snugly and cover the drain hole.

Other water leakage errors

water leak from the carThe LE mistake is quite serious, because the water flowing out of the car can flood the neighbors if you live in a multi-storey building.
