How to Fix Samsung Washer Error LE

Error Code: LE Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Alternative leak detection code on specific Samsung models (WF350 series)

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.

Still Not Working?

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
