Appliance Fault Codes

What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Samsung dishwasher LE error code

LE means leak / water detected in base. Water has been detected in the base pan, so the electronics stop the machine and may run a drain-only cycle..

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Pull the machine out and tip a small amount of water from the base pan if safe to do so — clear the trigger first.
  2. Check the door seal and spray-arm seals for leaks.
  3. Run a short cycle with the machine pulled out and watch for leaks underneath.

Call a professional when…

Find and fix the leak (seal, hose or clamp); the electronics then stop showing LE. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
