Wm2016cw The washer makes humming noise and tries to turn the drum, however the drum does not turn. Then the washer tries again to turn the opposite direction but again starts to turn then make the same humming sound and does not rotate. After the washer does this a few times it then displays the LE on the digital display and no longer continues the cycle. The service manual states that the LE on the display means you need to wait 30 minutes and try again. If the same thing occurs, then I am told to call for a service repair. My question is, How much could this cost to repair and have you seen many of these errors?.

Just had this same problem on my LG wm1832CW machine. Sensor assembly was replaced and all is well..
Simple and fairly inexpensive to replace.

Usually it is the stator at fault with an LE error. I would make sure the cable between the stators windings and hall sensor are ok back to the main control board also give the wires a good tug sometimes the copper breaks inside the wiring insulation at the white connection blocks. Check to make sure theres nothing got trapped inbetween the drum and tub this can lock the drum up and give the fault. After checking all the above i would think it would either be a faulty stator or the main control board has failed. Hope this helps.

LE is a locked motor error code.
It is usually associated with a loose motor connector wire or a defective Hall Sensor.

SOURCE: washing displaying OE error code

Just resolved same problem...it is the pressure switch aka water level sensor.  OE is overflow error.  Pressure switch is located under top cover on front right hand side.  It is round and has a rubber tube leading down to the drum and a electrical connection to the board.  Paid maytag man to diagnose/install cost me about $150

I found that in winter time not a problem with my LG front loader, but when the temperature went over 30 Celsius the problem came back and intermittent like yours did, there was also an unusual noise coming from the machine.
What I did to fix the problem was to remove the stator and place it in the freezer for about half an hour or so, I also cleaned any minor dust and grit from both the Stator magnets and the Stator drum, replaced it still very cold and now it works well with no more unusual noise and the outside temperature has no more bearing on the machine not spinning this day!
I hope this helps!
