Most likely the motor position sensor also known as the hall sensor. Pretty easy fix. Part is under $20. Check out self help videos at repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com.
This is a very common problem with the LG front loaders, and some other front loaders for that manner. There was a few recalls on them and some parts that were supposed to fix the issue. Even if the gasket looks ok i would replace it, as they have updated the design of the gaskets to fix issues on models that were having issues leaking. Most of the time its just a bad gasket and you cant really do anything other then replace it. Front load washers are about the worst appliance made today in my opinion, the repair shops around here are always full of broken and leaking front loaders. I have fixed quite a few myself, some work ok after the repair, some fail again in a matter of months, its a real duck shoot on them. The biggest failure rate though is the gaskets! And most of the time they look ok but still leak like a screen door.

Sounds like all you need is a new pump motor. Pretty common issue. Fairly inexpensive motor. About $30+ on amazon. Check out repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com for part numbers and repair videos. Good luck.
Make sure hall sensor is snapped in to correct location and is secure. Take a look at repair videos from repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com for guidance. And the error code is "LE" for sure not "tE" which is sometimes confused between the two.
Go to appliancepartspros.com or repairclinic.com. Enter your model number. Look thru parts until you find the pump. There you will find a how to video. Pretty easy repair/replace. Good luck.
send it all back and get a new one.tell your tech that you only need the front panel that goes to your washer,if they send something else that needs more parts to work,DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING,IT IS A SCAM,notify your techs boss
Great advice. I used a portion of you plan. Pulled off the top, but since the softener cup is on the right, I only uncliped the 3 clips on that side of the assembly. With those loose, I could pry gently up on the back portion of the assembly lid, and the drawer pulled out.
I also see no need for the cover, other than a measuring device. So removed the screws at the front, pushed the assembly back into the washer, and unclipped the rest of the lid. Once the lid of the tray assembly was off, it was easy to remove the softener cover. The only challenging part was getting the re-closed assembly to go back into the cut-out in the face metal. I got caught a couple times, but getting my hand up under the assemble allowed be to push evenly up on both sides as I pushed it forward into place.
Now the door works fine again. Seems to be a significant design flaw by LG.
