Error codeLE3
ApplianceDryer
Quick answer
LE3 on the dryer in an LG WashTower points to the motor that circulates air.
Model compatibility: LG reuses codes across series and model years, so LE3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Air circulation motor problem (WashTower dryer).
LE3 on the dryer side of an LG WashTower tells you the motor that circulates air in the dryer has a problem.
Owner step
Disconnect the cord, give it a minute, then connect it and run the dryer once more. Should LE3 persist, request service; the guide says simple troubleshooting will not resolve this code.
Related codes
LE2 / AE is the compressor problem on the same dryer.
A power reset is the only owner step, so a repeat of LE3 is the time to call (310) 742-8008 and ask about LG dryer repair. Mention the code and the WashTower model.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
