LE1 error appears, often associated with water leakage into motor area on some LG models.

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply. Do not operate if water is leaking onto electrical parts.

• Inspect for leaks: Check around the rear of the tub and motor area for signs of water.
• Check drum bearings: Spin drum by hand; grinding noise or wobble suggests bearing/seal failure allowing water into motor area.
• Dry and test: If a minor leak is found and repaired (hose or boot), allow components to dry completely before testing.
• Major failures: If bearings or tub seal are leaking, a tub/bearing replacement is required and is typically a professional-level repair.
