How to Fix LE Error

  1. Tilt machine backward to drain base pan water completely onto towels.
  2. Locate leak sensor under tub (white disc with 2 wires, center-mounted).
  3. Dry sensor completely and inspect for mineral deposits – clean contacts with vinegar-soaked cotton swab if corroded.
  4. Check all hose connections at pump, valve, and tub for drips using paper towel test (place towel under connections, run 2-minute fill cycle).
  5. Run empty cycle while observing base pan with flashlight to pinpoint leak source.
  6. Replace leak sensor DC96-01703A if dry but error returns immediately after power cycle.
  7. Address root cause leak before sensor replacement to prevent recurrence – most common sources: pump seal, inlet valve, or tub gasket.
