A Samsung washing machine showing the error code LE can quickly throw your laundry plans into chaos. This code stands for “Leak Error”—a common but serious issue indicating water is escaping where it shouldn’t be. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or someone who just wants the laundry done, here’s what you need to know to tackle this problem.
The LE code generally means your washer has detected a water leak. This could be due to:
Samsung washers are smart, but they can’t always tell you where the leak is, only that one exists.
Before calling a technician, you might be able to resolve the issue on your own. Here’s what to try:
Unplug the washer or turn off the breaker. Water and electricity never mix.
Carefully check the rubber gasket around the door. If it’s cracked, worn, or has mold buildup, that could be the leak source. Clean or replace it if necessary.
Look behind the washer and inspect the hose for any signs of wear, pinching, or disconnection. Make sure the connection is tight and secure.
If you’re comfortable opening the washer’s bottom panel, take a look at the drain pump and surrounding hoses. Watch for signs of dripping or pooled water.
After inspecting and adjusting components, plug in the machine and run a short wash cycle. Watch closely for any signs of leaking.
If the leak persists—or you’re not comfortable taking your machine apart—it’s time to bring in the experts. Water damage can get expensive fast, so don’t wait.
