Kenmore 44921 Front Load Washer - Page 8 Questions & Answers
What does LE display mean on my Kenmore front loading washer?
LE indicates that motor was locked. The load in the washer was too heavy for it to spin safely at the usual speed. This could be from too many items in the washer or that something is wrong with the washer rotor hardware.
First try resetting the washer, turn off the machine and unplug it (or turn it off at the circuit breaker). Then press and hold the start/pause button for 5 seconds. (This drains the capacitors that hold the error code in the control panel's memory.)
Try running the washer with it empty. If the LE error continues, you need to check the rotor and the rotor position sensor. You may also need to check that the tub is properly balanced and the wiring to the control panel. To access the rotor, unplug the washer and disconnect the washer hoses. With help, place the washer on it's back to access the rotor and the rotor sensor. You'll need a 17mm socket (or an adjustable wrench and a hammer) to loosen the rotor mounting nut. Replace a damaged rotor or sensor. Check the wiring harness to the sensor and make sure that there is no corrosion either at the sensor or the control panel connection. Check the wiring for continuity on all of the pins. Replace damaged wiring.
Please add a comment with the washer model number if you need a parts diagram. I hope this helps.

Why is my washer spinning instead of agitating?
Check your cogs. Pull the top off agitator off and look inside.
Depending on model has different typed of cogs that slide and catch when working properly. The do wear out.
Also known as "dog ear cogs". Very cheap parts. $2.
