LG WM-1480FHD Front Load Washer Questions & Answers
Intellowasher
make sure it is on a cycle that takes hot water, otherwise it sounds like a hot valve fault. replacing the valve should do it.
Error code le on washing machine wm-1480fhd....
Well, according to the LG error look up table:
LE
Locked motor error. Cause: The connector (3-pin), male,white) in the motor
harness is not connected to the connector. (3-pin,female,white) of stator
assembly. Or the electrical contact between the connectors. (3-pin,male,white)
in the motor harness and 4-pin,female,white connector in the main PWB assembly
is bad or unstable. Or the motor harness between the stator assembly and main
PWB assembly is cut (open circuit) Or the hall sensor is out of order/defective.
Decoding the techno speak, this means that the little rev counter, built on to the back of the motor and connected by 3 wires has either come loose, fallen off, failed or its wires are unplugged. The result is the machine can't figure what speed the motor is running at, so it shuts it down.

Wm-1480FHD will not fill.
The problem is either there's no water in the pipelines going to the machine, the water valves are not working or stuck closed, the pressure switch is stuck in the full position, or the pressure hose is blocked. Check first and make that water is running through the inlet hoses.
Disconnect power and remove screws on the back of the top panel then pull the panel backward and upward as shown.
Once the top panel is off, locate the pressure switch with a small clear hose attached to it. Detach the hose then blow air down into the hose and into the pressure switch. Also check the pressure hose for clogs or kinks and tap the pressure switch gently to free a possible stuck or welded contacts. Reattach the pressure hose then reconnect power and start the machine.
Re-disconnect power and disconnect and pressure switch wire harness if water still doesn't come in. Reconnect power and restart the machine. Replace the pressure switch if water starts to come in with the wire harness disconnected. Replace the water inlet valve if it clicks and doesn't click back right away but water still doesn't come in.

Hi my LG washer has
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France
I think 'UE' stands for 'imbalance'. Following are my general/generic instructions on balancing machines- I would start there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mostly answer front load problems but ' out of balance' is a common problem with both!
So- I don't know your particular machine but the initial cure is the same.
It is necessary to ensure absolutely that the machine, even when empty, has all 4 feet very firmly on the floor, and I mean firmly ;-0)
Doesn't matter whether it is empty or not but switch it off then-
very firmly push one front corner diagonally into the centre of the machine (sorry about my UK spelling!) and see if the machine moves or rocks AT ALL, even the slightest. If it does you will need the open-ended spanner which came with the (new) machine........which of course went missing a long time ago?!! An adjustable spanner will suffice.
Adjust the foot under that corner downwards until it is very firmly- almost pushing- against the floor but not so far that the corner lifts up!
If this corner did not rock do the same to the other.
Once you cannot rock the machine the slightest little bit, screw the locking nuts up tight to the underside of the machine so that they will not move. Ideally the rear feet should also be locked.
If this has not cured the problem it is possible that the internal drum suspension is malfunctioning but I've not had any feedback of this nature.
Good luck,
John C
How do u start the washing machine?
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Sorry but this forum does not supply manuals direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home and from all over the world, with experience of addressing problems and giving guidance for free on the web ;-0)
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount. During the process you will be asked for the actual model number!
Good luck,
John C.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France
Here are my general guidance notes on ensuring that the empty machine is 100% stable on spin.
