The Problem

The customer reported that an LE code comes up and the washer won’t cycle. This error code typically indicates a motor or drum issue that prevents normal operation.

Upon inspection, we found that bearings have failed on washing machine and it is not economical to repair. The extent of the bearing failure meant extensive disassembly and parts replacement would be required.

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG washers with bearing failures often require extensive labor and parts costs that exceed the value of older units. When bearings fail, it typically indicates the machine has reached the end of its practical service life, especially if other components show wear.
