SAMSUNG WASHING MACHINE – ERROR CODE LE, LE1, E9

You, as usual, started the washing, and after a while found a puddle of dirty water on the floor and the code E9, LE, LC, or LE 1 on the display of the Samsung washing machine. Sometimes the LE / E9 error appears almost immediately after you turn it on:
– A couple of seconds after starting the program;
– after a few minutes: first, the Samsung machine simultaneously pours and drains the water, and then the error LE appears.
It happens that the error occurs at the stage of washing or rinsing out of the blue, with the apparent absence of leaks.
In Samsung models without a screen, this error lights up Bio 60 ° C and cold wash, and all mode lights flash.

Error description

Codes LE, LC, E9, and LE1 mean the same thing: there is leakage or self-drainage of water from the tank in the Samsung washing machine. If the level sensor, detects a drop in water level in the drum of the machine 4 times in a row within a few minutes, the error LE, E9, etc. will light up.

In Samsung washing machines equipped with an aquastop, the leak sensor (float), which is located in the tray under the washing machine, also reacts to the leakage. If water appears in the tray, the float floats up, and the washing machine stops washing and displays this error code on the screen.

To the appearance of error, LE can lead both to serious malfunctions, for the elimination of which professional knowledge and experience are required, and trifling problems that can be corrected by your own efforts.
