I've managed to find Samsung washer error codes - see
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?AT_ID=84289&PROD_ID=901&PG_ID=-1&PROD_SUB_ID=0

For LE error the samsung list says:-

Natural drain/Water leak error

Check that the level of the drain hose is not lower than the base of the W/M, check for water on the floor? If no trace of water switch off the power/reconnect and try again

If leak found and from W/M or error code persists a service call is adv

I believe this refers to the heater temp sensor fault (NTC). I also remember a number of Samsung washer recalls because of faulty wiring mid 2008. If this is a relatively new machine find out if the warranty is still valid before trying to solve it yourself. If out of warranty turn the machine on its side & check the wiring to the NTC is intact (from underneath). If ok take out the sensor & have it checked by a service shop. Good luck, post findings
