READ THIS BEFORE FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF THIS VIDEO. I'm really glad I saw this, so I knew what NOT to do. Turning the unit upside down will turn this into an HOURS long solution instead of MINUTES. As soon as you invert the machine, all of the water that has collected in the base will now be all over every piece of hardware, where no water was before you made the problem 10x worse. I tipped the washer toward its side (maybe 25degrees) so that I could access the door. Tipping it caused all the standing water to drain out of the moister sensor trap... it was probably 2 cups worth that I was happy to have on my kitchen floor, instead of all up inside the machine (which causes risk of re-tripping the moisture sensor when you right-side-up the unit and water drips down with gravity). No hours of fan drying necessary. Tip it, un-screw the closure, pop off the cover, and then disconnect the sensor. Once removed, dry the cover and the trap with a towel. Dry the sensor with a towel too, and then a hair dryer. Reinstall the sensor, and then the dry cover, and you are DONE in 15 min. No reprogramming necessary. The machine knows its fixed. Easy as can be, and back in business in less than an hour.
This video was a life saver, been in the kitchen all day baking so loads of dirty dishes and my dishwasher decided it was time to give me an error code watched your video flipped the machine and with in 10 mins I had the whole thing fixed and put back in its place and I don't have to wash any dishes by hand, thank you very much :)
Cannot that you enough. It's Thanksgiving and the dishwasher decided to "Heavy" error code out. I watched this video and in about an hour, my wife and I completed the fix. I now do not have to do the dishes on a very busy holiday day! May you and everyone else have a happy day of THANKS!
Thank you for posting this video. I had the same "LE" code. Using your video, I did the same and fixed my washer. Now, with a dry bottom, it works like a champ. Thank you!
Thanks for this vid! We flipped it onto its side as we didn't have enough room to flip it right over, but found the leaky pipe, tightened and dried out and it's working again no problems! Saved us an expensive call out...thank you!! 😊👍
I had a LE code after I fixed a 9E code, This did the trick! Very helpful, another video wanted me to take the front door panel off and check wires>>>> wasn't necessary!
YOu are amazing! Thank you for the full explanation. I thought my problem was caused by some leaky pipes, but now I am certain. Your helpful demonstration of how to handle the situation is great! WIll be doing it right away.
Thank you for posting this. We laid ours on its side and followed your proceedure. Water had gotten in the dishwasher from an outside source. Also, the code LC means leak too.
Thank you for this. Cleared my error message. My problem was a leaky drain hose. After I swap it out for a new one I received this error and this video showed me how to clear it.
Thanks to your great video I have just fixed the LE (leakage error). I have caused LE error myself by not carefully disconnecting the hoses and flooding the bottom part of my Samsung DMT800RHS dishwasher while fixing the original 9E (water supply) issue, which I was able to fix as well. The dishwasher seems to be working again. Happy fixing everyone.
Thanks for the video. I did this about 8 mon. ago thinking I needed to replace something major. The little bowl built into the white, bottom plate was full of some dried out crud. I cleaned the electrodes and the bowl and the washer worked like a champ. The machine threw the LE code again. I could not remember how I took the machine apart to access that bottom plate. I had no desire to turn the machine upside down. I just leaned it against a chair to access the bottom plate. Same fix as last time. The machine is running as I type this not. Thanks again for posting the fix. It saved me a lot of time and effort.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I did exactly what you recommended in your video and my son and I crossed our fingers when we turn the breaker back on. Wow! No more "LE" code. Awesome and thanks for sharing! Our Best, Sidney M.......
This video was perfect. My sensor had water on it causing the LE error. Took out the sensor blew it off with air. Cleaned up the pan of moisture. Assembled and worked great.
Thanks for the video. In my case I actually had a leak in the drain hose. So I didnt need to flip it over. I put it up on 2 boxes to be able to see underneath it with a mirror and flashlight. Put it in drain mode and Found the leak right away. Replacement hose is $12. Take that Sears repair team!!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much! We had fixed the OE error code but I got water in the motor area! And the subsequent LE error code appeared . You saved me over $500. Thank you for posting your video!!!! My dishwasher works!!!
Great video Joshuah worked great for me...this is by far the worst dishwasher I've ever owned. I just finished fixing 9E error code when this popped up so once again had to take the whole thing out. Drain hose issue too. what a terrible machine
Excellent - Thank you. This worked perfectly and yes, like one of the commenters, a full flip caused more water to go where there was already water. Being not nearly as patient as you, I let my leaf blower help with the water removal. Also found that removing the two side panels helped.
Looking back, I see that I probably didn't need the fan and I could've just wiped the sensor. I just wanted to make sure everything was completely dry while I had it all taken apart. Glad to hear that it worked for you all.
I have worked on appliances for a long time. None of the videos are the solution. This moisture sensor is in place for a reason. If there is water in this area, there is obviously a leak. This feature is exceptional for any manufacturer to place in the machine. It indicates a sealing failure of the water containment vessel. Either the pump shaft seal is leaking, the tub seal is leaking, or a hose is leaking. The only way to find it is to raise the unit so that you can observe where the leak is coming from while it has water in it and it is running. Once a visual of the leak is found, only then can you "permanently" fix the issue.
In the case of mine, the kids left the water on and the pipe was over the counter. Water ran into the dishwasher caused the problem. Thanks saved me $250 bucks
Tks a lot for the tip, however I just put the dishwasher on the side and I did checked the hose as suggested. The hose is too old so I had to change it. Everything is working like a charm.
I have a very similar model. It recently introduced me to the LE error code. It has had its issues since we got it, interior rack degrading, clips and clamps breaking, coming apart, several spots (the corners) with poor rinsing. No better than a unit from the 70's, really! But it has been an especially frustrating few week or so, and thanks for your video, very helpful! And, nothing like a little bit of hope to keep you working on something! Initially there was leakage from a split in the drain hose a few feet away from the dishwasher. First clue was drain water pouring down through the floor into the basement on top of the power box. I know, terrible dishwasher placement! It came with the house :( The leak had run back down the hose into the dishwasher, collected in the tray at the bottom, and triggered the LEak error and initiated the flood protocol that sends the dishwasher into "empty it out" mode, hence the sudden deluge. Examination of the hose revealed that the hose had cracks all along it. The connector was degraded and no longer functional at either end. I replaced the hose with some clear vinyl hose and clamps which seemed to do the trick after I dried out the tray and flood sensor. But after two wash cycles the error recurred. As it turned out the other similar hoses and connectors inside were equally degraded and had failed. It was a lot trickier to replace those, I tell ya! All went well for a couple of days, during which I learned that although the clear vinyl seemed rigid yet flexible enough, it tended to kink anywhere there was a loop, and while it did not block flow entirely it was still restricted. I changed the hose for some reinforced clear vinyl, added a couple of elbows at key loop points and it works like a charm. Except I had yet another flood and LEak error! After a lot of poking and examining and finally using a dental mirror I discovered that my probably over-tightened hose clamp had caused the plastic output pipe from the main housing to crimp a bit, crack, and it was leaking during certain points in the wash cycle. That is not a fixable thing, unfortunately, but I have enough pipe above the crimp/crack to extend some closer-fitting hose or fixture with a sleeve insert to act as an internal stabilizer. I anticipate completing the last fix over the weekend. I think in the future it will be worth my while to simply get a new dishwasher! The time invested alone has been outrageous! Anyways, thanks for sharing your experience, it was a real help. Cheers!
+seaducked duck I fixed all the leaks, actually salvaged the output pipe with a nifty connector that used an insert that fit perfectly, replaced all the hoses, put in new connectors, new clamps, even a couple of new seals - I made it better, I think, than the original! - only to have two of the housings develop new leaks (water pump, and the drain loop/maze on the outside developed a crack along a seam). I gave up. The cost of the parts I used could nearly have purchased a new low-end dishwasher! I bought a new one, different brand, and the warranty covers pretty much everything that went wrong with the Samsung. So no doubt nothing will ever go wrong, right? Lol! Can only hope! At least I know my way around a dishwasher now, thanks to some of these great DIY videos!
Worked for me. Another video on RUclips suggested that I clear all the water out of the sump and that should clear the code. I tried that first, which was a little easier than disconnecting everything and turning the machine upside down. It worked briefly, but then the code came back. I think the issue of turning the machine upside down is more about draining all the water out of the sump, than drying out the components under the machine. Nonetheless, I'm up and working again. Thanks. To be honest, this sure feels like a significant design flaw from Samsung.
Great video and description. I have a Samsung model # DW80F800UWS. Same problem, LE flashing, could not reset it. Water was sitting in the bottom pan as well. I emptied the pan, wiped off the pan and sensor, hooked it back up and 'viola', everything's working. Thanks for the video !!
Important to make sure you've identified the cause of the leak. The error code is tripped when water collects in the white tray on the bottom of the washer. As another commenter mentioned, you only have to tip the washer on its side to access it and dry out the tray and the sensor attached to it. The water that collects there can come from a variety of places, but the most likely culprit is the auxiliary drain cap on the inside wall of the dishwasher. It twists on to form a seal against a rubber washer on the other side and can come loose. If yours is loose, that's where the water was coming from. If not, you should check all the drain hoses, which will require the removal of the side panel.
Exactly where I found my leak. The gasket/seal was still in good condition so I cleaned everything and used a silicon grease from what I use on the swimming pool to help seal the gasket . So far, so good.
@@frankvic1958 The drain cap comes off by rotating it counterclockwise. It's hard to get a good grip on it, so I used some wide pliers and inserted the ends into the slats on the cap and then twisted.
Thanks Mark...I managed to remove it by wrapping elastic bands around the cap allowing me to get a good grip with my hand. Thanks for the video @@hugheyme
Umm do you have a link to where it is or how it looks? I am unsure what that is or where to find it, I did find a rubber lose inside my dishwasher which I am unsure where it came from, I am assuming it is from this place you talk about and therefor I want to check it before I replace the machine itself. Please help me out if you have any idea of the location.
If your sink is filling with water as the dishwasher drains, and there is no residual food in the grinding chamber of the disposal, you have a clogged drain line in the wall. With these particular Samsung dishwashers (which are junk), it could be coming from either the drain pump, water inlet valve, or main pump/motor seal. It has nothing to do with water backing up into the sink. Another culprit could be a rodent chewing through the corrugated plastic drain hose.
I had this problem twice and fixed it without turning the dishwasher over. Mine was caused by the plastic cap, inside the washer, coming undone and allowing water to leak through the side and down to the drain pan. I pulled the dishwasher out and looked through the right side (while facing the dishwasher). I could see the pan with about 1/2 centimeter of water. I just pushed paper towels through and soaked it up. That fixed the problem for me.
I had an LE error after fixing an E9 error. I believe some excess water went into the retaining pan during the initial repair. The drain pump would run without the units power being on. I took the two screws off the bottom and disconnected the electric clip. After that I air dried the unit for 24 hours, there was no sign of water. I reconnected electric clip and the retain pan and the LE error went away.
I used this on a new Samsung Dishwasher. Turned it on the side after pulling it out enough to clear the cabinet. Unplug it first. One phillips head screw and the panel popped off. There is a sensor in the bottom which has two electrodes and keeps the pump going. Dry out this panel and it will stop the LC Code.
Hi this has just happened to me. The machine is in a wash cycle flashing LE. I'm trying to power off the machine but it won't? It keeps flashing and starting on its own any suggestions?
What Samsung model is this? I have this LE code on my DMT800RHS/XAA and I was wondering if it's the same as yours. I'm thinking of trying this repair myself since I've already had it repaired 3 times for the same error and the 5 year warranty is done!
+Carole Harland i don't know off hand because it's at my rental property. But, I'm pretty sure it's the same concept. Get it open, check your hoes connection for leaks, and dry everything up.
I had the same code. Mine looked like it was leaking through the motor shaft. I bought the extended warranty for this thing and I was two months past that so I was on my own. I ordered a new seal online it was a fairly straightforward procedure to fix it I put the new one in and it continue to leak. Since it was a $10 part I thought it might be a defective seal so I ordered another one with the exact same results. This was one of the many problems I've had with this dishwasher. I read a lot of other bad reviews online now, but four years ago when I bought it it was the greatest thing since sliced bread I'm so disappointed with this thing it's such a piece of junk. Samsung sucks!!!
Yup, I am done with Samsung once mine goes. Got this error as well and came looking for answers because the manual says " call service center". No thanks. Hopefully this will do the trick for me as well.
Discovered the hard way, do not run the dishwasher without the top basket in place. A strong jet of water against the door will make it appear like your door is leaking.
too many trip sensors with a dishwasher .... you will see the trip sensors color with ground wiring - I'm gonna isolae all the trip sensor and make a fake ground and cover them in water proof case - tested out and worked fine, do I need a leak sensors? nope,

Thanks for the video and help. Sadly like yesterday's trial, it ran one cycle and then LE after.
I dont know how or why, i love imports and this video saved the day✌
Thank you SO much for the video. It helped us immensely.
i just did mine and it was mouse urine that triggered the LE code, super helpful thanks!
Great video and description. I have a Samsung model # DW80F800UWS.

Thank you very much .
Mine was caused by a rack bolt that became loose which allowed water to leak down the side of the machine into the pan.
I had an LE error after fixing an E9 error. I believe some excess water went into the retaining pan during the initial repair. The drain pump would run without the units power being on. I took the two screws off the bottom and disconnected the electric clip. After that I air dried the unit for 24 hours, there was no sign of water. I reconnected electric clip and the retain pan and the LE error went away.
I used this on a new Samsung Dishwasher. Turned it on the side after pulling it out enough to clear the cabinet. Unplug it first. One phillips head screw and the panel popped off. There is a sensor in the bottom which has two electrodes and keeps the pump going. Dry out this panel and it will stop the LC Code.
in the event that you don's care about the sensor could you not just unplug it?

+Carole Harland i don't know off hand because it's at my rental property. But, I'm pretty sure it's the same concept. Get it open, check your hoes connection for leaks, and dry everything up.
And how long before it comes back? I had samsung come to my house and fixed it and now it is back with le error
Did your LE code come back soon after the fix or were you able to fix it permanently?
I'm curious too. Did anyone else need to repeat this or did this permanently fix the issue?
Smart move not disconnecting the water supply from the dishwasher, it's a pain to get it to stop leaking if you ever have to reconnect it there.
Has your fix stayed fixed?. Drying mine out now.
Brian Peters No problems yet.

Yup, I am done with Samsung once mine goes. Got this error as well and came looking for answers because the manual says " call service center". No thanks. Hopefully this will do the trick for me as well.
My machine is led code not work screen show on the error le plz helpppeee
Can't you just let it be for a day to dry out instead of turning upside down?
Discovered the hard way, do not run the dishwasher without the top basket in place.
A strong jet of water against the door will make it appear like your door is leaking.
Mine did that today. Ugh.
Direct drive motor in dishwashers was bad idea 💡
Think 🤔 they stopped it now
just pull the sensor and clean it next time wouldnt of had to wait and or use a fan..
Not everybody can take things apart and put them back together!! 😟😤
too many trip sensors with a dishwasher .... you will see the trip sensors color with ground wiring - I'm gonna isolae all the trip sensor and make a fake ground and cover them in water proof case - tested out and worked fine, do I need a leak sensors? nope,
So you’re not going to find why it’s leaking lol?
Samsung dishwasher a =re a total
piece of junk!

Yes complete shite they stopped making these now
Just clear the sensor….
Why is everybody on here making it seem like it's so flip over a dishwasher And take it apart? For me it's not as simple as THAT!!
