Inspecting the rotor is crucial in identifying potential faults contributing to the LE error code. Here’s a detailed guide for checking and addressing rotor-related issues:

2. Confirm that the power is turned off to guarantee a secure procedure.

If not already completed, take off the back panel and release the bolt securing the rotor to the tub shaft.

3. Separate the rotor unit and disconnect the power connectors.

4. Take out the bolts securing the stator, allowing you to fold it down and gain access to the rotor position sensor.
