The meaning and elimination of the LE error on the Samsung washing machine

Modern Samsung washing machines have a built-in electronic module that continuously analyzes the operation of the unit. If any of the systems fails, then a message with an error code is immediately shown on the display. In our review, we will dwell in more detail on what the appearance of an error with the LE code means, what are the reasons for its occurrence and how you can establish a breakdown.

It happens that you put dirty laundry in the drum, connected the machine, set the desired mode, pressed "start", and after a few minutes you found that the floor was flooded with dirty water, and the LE or LE1 error lit up on the unit screen. It also happens that the error makes itself felt already during the washing process, but no visual signs of problems were found. Any washing machine has a pressure switch. This is a sensor that analyzes the volume of water in the tank. If for several minutes he notes the liquid falls below the level required for a certain wash cycle, then the machine immediately gives the corresponding error.

In technology, which provides for the "Aquastop" option, a special sensor in the form of a float usually reacts to a leak, it is located in the pallet... If for one reason or another the process of water intake and drainage is disrupted, the pallet immediately overflows and the sensor floats to the surface. In this situation, the operation of the equipment immediately stops, and an error flashes on the display.

If the typewriter does not have a monitor, then the problem is indicated by the blinking of all indicator sensors for the washing mode and the signal of the cold wash indicator at once. If within a few minutes the pressure switch detects deviations in the operation of the unit, it immediately loads the automatic liquid drain. Don't be afraid of it - this way the control system tries to prevent the occurrence of excessive loads.

The LE error information code indicates to the user that there is a serious water leak. The reasons for this unpleasant phenomenon can be very different:

• improper installation of the drain hose - for example, its location is too low;
• incorrect connection of the hose to the sewage system or the machine itself;
• abrasion and leakage of the sealing layer;
• mechanical damage to the body or drum, which leads to the formation of cracks and weakening of the seal attachment;
• breakdown of the pressure switch;
• burnout of contacts and sections of pressure switch connections;
• malfunctions of the control module.

The LE1 error can appear when the drain filter is leaking, if it is not properly secured, as well as when the internal hoses are leaking. Damage to the cuff or water leakage from the cleaning powder compartment may also cause a malfunction.

If an LE error is displayed on the screen of your Samsung washing machine, do not immediately look for a wizard - in the vast majority of cases it is quite possible to correct the violation on your own... When the problem lies in the operation of the drain system, then to determine the cause of the malfunction, it is first necessary to inspect the hose through which the drain is going - most likely, the problem is in it.

If your CM after switching on for several minutes simultaneously fills and drains water, and then the LE error is displayed, then the hose is probably located below the level of the tank - this should not be so. The hose must always form an upper loop. Correct its position - in most cases, after that the machine will work in the right rhythm.

If you lengthened the hose yourself, then check the attachment section of the "additional fragment" with the factory one - it is probably there that the leakage occurs. In this case, it is worth disconnecting the extension cord, and leading the hose to the sink or bathroom until the causes of the malfunction are fully clarified. It is possible that the damage touches the drain filter, be sure to make sure that it is screwed on well.

If the error signal is accompanied by the fact that liquid begins to ooze from the powder dispenser, then most likely its valves are clogged with residues of detergents and conditioner. And if, instead of water, foam appears from there and the LE error is not reset, then there is an incompatibility of the selected powder or its significant overdose. Try changing your cleaner to a better one.

Check the quality of the connection of the branch pipes from the tray to the tank, as well as from the tank to the pump - it is likely that water is leaking at the junctions. Sometimes the malfunction is associated with the failure of the CM control unit, in which case you should give it a rest - turn off the power for 20-30 minutes and then turn it on again. Once again, carefully examine your CM in order to detect a deviation from the standard state. If visually you are unable to determine the cause of the breakdown, and none of the above methods helped you, you will have to contact the workshop.

It is possible that the matter is in a mechanical puncture of the drain pipe, which was damaged by a sharp object - as a rule, in this case, the element is completely replaced. If, after turning on the machine, the washing does not start for several seconds, and the display shows an LE error, then there is a high probability of a malfunction of the water sensor. In this case, usually helps by blowing the pressure switch. If these measures did not work, then you will have to completely change the sensor.

An unfortunate error can make itself felt during the wash, this indicates a failure of the control panel microcircuit. Usually, the decision to repair directly depends on the degree of breakdown - both minor repairs and a complete replacement of the element are possible. It is possible that the leak sensor itself has completely worked out its resource, therefore, it began to work even when there is no leak. This problem is solved by replacing the sensor with a working one.

The LE error can be displayed on a Samsung typewriter when there is a leak from the back of the CM. This often happens when the drain hose is worn out, it must be replaced with a new one. It happens that the error does not light up constantly and sometimes disappears - this is a clear sign of problems with the electrics. Most likely, the machine has poor-quality contacts of the plumes of the nodes responsible for the amount of water. Any damaged parts must be replaced or the wiring spliced.

The LE error in Samsung washing machines can also indicate such serious breakdowns as:

• damage to the laundry container with sharp objects or in areas where it is fixed with bolts;
• disconnecting the heating element (heating element) from the mount;
• notching of the cuff seals.

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that The LE error signal does not always indicate a serious problem. Knowing in what situations such a code may appear, you can try to find out the source of the problems yourself and correct the situation on your own. However, if your efforts did not lead to the desired result, then you should contact a specialist. If you do not fix the problem quickly, you can simply flood your neighbors from below and thereby incur serious financial losses.
