LG Dishwasher Error Code LE – Meaning and Possible Fixes
LG Dishwasher Error Code LE
If your LG dishwasher displays error code LE, it means the appliance has detected a problem with the motor that drives the wash pump.
LG dishwashers rely on a motor to circulate water through the spray arms during the wash cycle. If the dishwasher detects that the motor cannot operate correctly, it will stop the cycle and display the LE error code.
