An LG top-load washer in Parkland, Florida 33076 was evaluated after the appliance displayed an LE code.
The technician diagnosed a bad CPU on the LG WT1101CW model washer.

Customer Concern
The LG washer was documented as displaying an LE code.
The service record preserves the displayed code but does not contain additional customer wording describing the washer's behavior.
For that reason, this Verified Repair Report™ does not assign additional symptoms beyond the documented LE code.
Common Symptoms
An LE (Locked Motor Error) code or a failing CPU on a washer typically presents alongside these common observable symptoms:
- ⚠️ The washer displays an 'LE' code on the digital panel and stops operating.
- ⚠️ The drum refuses to spin or agitate during the wash cycle.
- ⚠️ The electronic control board (CPU) becomes unresponsive to button presses.
- ⚠️ The machine shuts down mid-cycle or acts erratically due to control failure.
What the Technician Found
The technician evaluated the LG WT1101CW washer and diagnosed a bad CPU.
The required CPU was subsequently determined to be NLA — No Longer Available.
Because the component needed for the repair was unavailable, the washer could not proceed through the intended component-replacement path.
Repair Decision
The service documentation states: “Bad CPU is NLA. Going to replace unit.”
With the required CPU no longer available, the decision was made to replace the washer rather than proceed with repair.
No CPU replacement or other completed component repair was documented during this service event.

Service Breakdown
LG WT1101CW Washer → LE code documented → CPU diagnosed as bad → Required CPU determined to be NLA → Repair could not proceed with the required component → Washer replacement chosen

Homeowner Tips
An error code can provide useful diagnostic information, but the code itself should not automatically be treated as proof that a particular component has failed.
A technician may need to evaluate the appliance and determine the underlying condition before deciding which repair is appropriate.
In this Parkland service event, the documented technician diagnosis was a bad CPU, and the required CPU was subsequently found to be no longer available.
Preventive Maintenance
- ✅ Follow the washer manufacturer's recommendations for loading, detergent use, cleaning, and routine maintenance.
- ✅ Electronic control components can fail for a variety of reasons.
Important: The available service documentation does not establish that improper use, overloading, maintenance practices, or another homeowner action caused the CPU failure in this washer. Therefore, this report does not attribute the failure to a preventable condition.
