Quick answer
What LE means on an LG dishwasher and what the manual says to do.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so LE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code means
The cleaning motor is not working properly.
An LE code on an LG dishwasher points to the cleaning motor. The display shows it when that motor is not functioning normally. Codes can differ depending on the product model.
What the manual asks of you
