Can I fix Samsung code LE myself?

Start with these safe checks: Look for any sign of a leak under and behind the washer. Fixing the leak clears the code. Make sure the supply and drain hoses aren't kinked. Don't remove the screw on the back that holds the drain hose. Run an empty cycle with no detergent. If suds appear, too much or non-HE detergent was used: keep running empty cycles until no suds appear. If there are no suds and the code continues, the washer needs service.

When should I call a technician for code LE?

If there are no suds and the code continues, the washer needs service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
