LG washer code LE: drum won’t turn

What it means

The motor is struggling to turn the drum, for example from an overload or something stuck. On top-load washers, AE and LE1 also mean this.

What to try

Unplug the washer before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

1. Unplug the washer for 5 minutes, then try again.
2. Take some laundry out to reduce the load.
3. Top-load: look for a coin or other object trapped between the wash plate and the drum. Unplug first, then remove it with tweezers.

Resetting an LG washer

LG’s usual reset: unplug the washer for 10 to 60 seconds (LG gives different times for different codes), plug it back in and restart. If the code persists, contact LG for service.
