I am getting an LE error code. This code is not listed in Manual. Washer starts, fills with water, then quits. If I restart, it pumps out water, refills then quits again. Rob

TIP 1: Most error codes that display are related to installation, maintenance, and general use such as washer not being level, not cleaning the debris filter, not cleaning the inlet water supply mesh filters, and using too much detergent.
TIP 2: If your Samsung washer will not start, be sure the Delay Start function has not been activated. When the Delay Start is in use the display will show a number followed by an H (1H, 2H, 3H). The Delay Start icon will be illuminated. (The Delay Start Icon looks like a stopwatch)

SAMSUNG WASHER ERROR DEFINITION = over-sudsing condition
If your washing machine has the word "SUDS" on the display, it has detected an oversudsing problem, and will stop for a short period to allow the suds to dissolve. This error code is usually caused by excess detergent or the wrong type.
HOW TO REPAIR/CLEAR ERROR?: Use HE (High Efficiency) detergent. This detergent is made for high efficiency front loader washing machines. HE detergent has high efficiency cleaning with low sudsing. Non "HE" detergent normally have high sudsing properties, and will cause excessive amounts of suds in your washer.

HOW TO REPAIR/CLEAR ERROR?: This is almost always caused by using too much bleach, softener, detergent or non-HE detergent. You may also have a problem with the water level sensor. (Le error code repair here)

The LE code indicates a motor overload. The washer will not spin to avoid damaging the unit. First unplug the washer and let the motor cool for 30 minutes. When you plug in the washer, check if the unit has been reset.

The error often occurs if you use a non-HE detergent or too much detergent. In that case, do a Rinse and drain steps. Set the Spin Speed to No Spin by pressing that key several times. When that finishes, open the door and remove all of the clothes in the tub. Close the door and set the washer to Rinse and Spin. Run this program several times until you see no suds in the wash tub. If the LE code returns when the washer is empty, check the drain pump and filter for foreign objects. The error can also occur if you wash too many items at once or too heavy a set of items. Try doing a smaller load in the future.

If the error persists, then the tub motor, bearings, motor shaft or wiring may be damaged. Here is the parts diagram and one vendor's list of the replacement parts: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/lg-washer-parts/model-WM1814CW/3204/0153200/K0810333/00002.html . If your washer is under warranty, contact LG.

I hope this helps.

F2 code is water level to high

Washer Error Codes
Below is a list of washer error codes for HE & conventional top load washers and front load washers. As more error codes are found or published, we will add to the list. Right now you will find error codes for Asko, Fisher & Paykel, Frigidaire, GE, Kenmore, LG, Maytag, Samsung, and Whirlpool. This list might not be complete and should be used for reference only.
Asko Washer Error Codes
• F1--Water supply/low water fill.
o 1. Check water supply to machine.
o 2. Replace water inlet valve.
• F2--Water level too high.
o 1. Plugged/Bad water pump.
o 2. Faulty water valve.

The error code "LE" appears after an unsuccessful attempt to fill the drum with water that results in the water level being too low to safely begin cleaning. The product manual suggests calling for service, but there are several steps you can take to try to resolve the issue at home.

Error Code Condition
Error Code IE Condition Inlet water supply error
Error Code UE Condition Unbalanced load
Error Code OE Condition Drain error
Error Code FE Condition Water overflow error

If water runs in when the machine is OFF but stops when the tap is turned off it means a faulty watervalve.replace water valve. Probably a double valve. Dont mix up the hoses or the wires........Nomess

Top 10 frontload washer problems

1)Water fill problem: water took more than 10 minutes to fill to desired level sometimes indicated as a LF/IE or long fill/inlet error. Water valve screens clogged, hoses kinked, low water pressure, unpaid water bill. Check hose, clean screens.
2)Excessive vibration: noisey,roar, knocking noises. Bad damper,bearing or broken trunion. no error code
3)Dispenser drawer open/detergent in wrong compartment: washer will not operate with drawer open or cleaning products in wrong compartment.
4)Washer won't drain: clogged pump/filter, slow or clogged drain usually indicated as a LD/DE, if a code is given (long drain/drain error) Clear pump of objects
5)Drum overfilled: usually caused by sediment in the water level pressure sensing tube going up to the main control.Find it and blow out the sediment, re-secure pump out water and retry.
6)Door open, Door not latched, clothes/objects keeping door from completly closing. Tighten door latch, add washers if nessesary to make good contact and close door tighter in case of leaks.Note some models send a sig nal to the motor and another to the control letting both know the door is secure before proceeding, corrosion gets into the lid lock and the door can be locked and the control is ready but the motor ain't getting the message.
7)Cold water does not enter washer: hoses connected backwards. Oops.
8)Oversudsing: Wrong Detergent, too much detergen, detergent in wrong dispensing drawer, turbidity monitors pick up particles in the water and judge soil content then the washer allows for extra time to wash the clothes, if the wrong detergent is in there the machine thinks that is too much and declares a suds error. On some models a suds detect is determined by the motor over amping, most machines will try a few mini loads to correct the problem. Remove detergent, retry
9)Locked motor: error LE,loose connection,broken wire/hallsensor, motor overheated/failed.
10)Water heating error, hE, the termister/heater is out.

I will leave that on there for a while but it takes up broadband so print that manual out and keep it close to that washer.

The LG error code OE simply means “the pump is blocked”. Presumably the water isn’t being emptied properly. Check the exit hose, it may be clogged.
LE Code refers to a motor overload.Since the pump is blocked,the motor becomes inefficient in working.Once you get the pump cleared from blockages,I assure that you can get rid of these errors.Good luck with the machine.Please do post the results and comments.

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

The motor sensor has failed and needs to be replaced.  You will need to call a qualified LG technician to repair this problem.
