Error E9 in the Samsung washing machine was used until 2009. In modern technology, it corresponds to the code LE - means leakage.
The causes and malfunctions are identical, but during the work the manufacturer changed the error codes several times. We will tell you what the error E9 on the scoreboard means, how to fix the problem yourself and in which case it is better to call a specialist.
Main causes and symptoms of failures
If the Samsung washer shows an error E9, somewhere there is a leak. If the liquid level in the tank drops more than four times in a row, the controller interrupts the wash and gives an error. The completion of work can occur both at start-up and during the transition to a new operating mode (spin or rinse).
Samsung will display LE trouble codes or E9 error depending on the release date.
Broken or poorly connected hose
Physical damage to the AGR is usually noticed by owners without accessing the screen. If water is spilled around the unit, most likely the equipment will display E9 on the display. If the machine is new, the drain hose is probably connected in violation of the technology.
Repair in this case is not required, it is only necessary to eliminate the consequences of negligence of installers.
The sensor controlling the filling of equipment fails
In washing machines where aquastat is engaged in controlling the water level, the E9 error on the display can also be displayed without obvious visual signs of malfunctions. In this case, the water level sensor itself is faulty.
The solution to the problem is the replacement of aquastat with a new one.
Drum or pad integrity broken
Together with clothes, hard objects can get into the washing machine, which can penetrate not only the seal, but also crush the plastic parts of the drum. As a result, the unit leaks, E9 is lit on the screen, operation is blocked.
Small slots in the rubber parts can be sealed, for a complete change it is better to attract a specialist.
