Error Code LE2

Low electric current detected — compressor operation repeats 3 times then stops

Also displayed as: LE2

How to Fix

1. 1

   Check and clean the double lint filter — clogged filter restricts airflow and can cause low compressor load

2. 2

   Check ambient temperature around the appliance — must be above 45°F (7°C); extremely low ambient can cause this fault

3. 3

   Check compressor harness connections (blue, red, black wires) at inverter connector on main PCB

4. 4

   In LQC test mode (press More Time + Less Time + Power), press start button 3 times to activate compressor test; measure current on blue, red, and black harness wires — normal is >0.2A; refrigerant leak suspected if <0.1A

5. 5

   If refrigerant leak is confirmed (check for oil residue around compressor and evaporator), replace base assembly (R code: C600)

6. 6

   If compressor and refrigerant are OK, replace main PCB (R code: A160)
