My washer starts a load normally, goes through the wash cycle, and then starts filling with water before the spin cycle until the tub is about 1/2 full. The machine then stops with an error code of "LE". The service manual says that is a water level sensor error, and go to the "No water fill" section which doesn't really make sense. After searching the web, I found several users that said it was the main PCB, so I replaced. Same problem. The drain works fine, as I can empty by starting the Spin Only cycle, and the water will drain completely. I've listened carefully and never hear the drain pump try to start while the washer is filling. I have taken off all hoses, checked for leaks, gone through all service test modes, and all work fine. The only item left that I can think of is the Pressure Sensor. I have checked the frequency as noted in the SM during the first part of the wash cycle (before the error), and the numbers are within range.
I will note that after I had taken the entire washer apart and checked and clean all lines, electrical connectors, etc, I ran an empty cycle that completed perfectly. I then loaded clothes and ran the same cycle, and the error returned.
Any ideas of how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
