How to Fix LE Error

Shut off power at the breaker. This code often indicates a wiring issue or a locked motor rotor.
Inspect the wire harness running through the bottom door hinge; broken wires here frequently cause False LE codes.
If wiring is intact, the dishwasher must be pulled out and tipped back to access the sump assembly.
Remove the wash pump motor (circulation motor) and check for debris jamming the impeller.
If the impeller spins freely but the code persists, replace the Circulation Motor assembly.
