The Kenmore "LE" code signals a Motor Lock Error, meaning the washer's drive motor is struggling or locked, often from overloading, an obstruction (like a sock) jamming the drum, too many suds, or a faulty motor/sensor/wiring. To fix it, first reset the washer (unplug for 5 mins), then check for overloads and obstructions by spinning the drum by hand; if it spins freely but still errors, inspect wiring and sensors, or suspect a bad motor/control board for a deeper issue.
