Error code LE1 Low water level detected
Appliance Washer

Low water level

When the washer senses too little water, it can show LE1. Samsung UK treats LC, LC1, LE and LE1 as one description.

Support-text checks

  1. See that the drain hose is not set lower than the base of the washing machine.
  2. Look for any water leak.
  3. If no water is visible anywhere, switch the power off, plug the washer in again and retry.

  • nd is the no drain error, with water leaving slowly or not at all.
