LG Electronics 6501KW2001A Washing Machine Rotor Position Sensor Assembly

My washer was experiencing and LE error, so I tore into it to find the issue. The service tech manual didn't say what the issue was for this error so tracking down the issue was difficult but for anyone else in this situation here's what happened to my washer.Washer would start and seemed normal during first few seconds of washing but after watching it I noticed that the wash drum would only spin easily in one direction but, even in the direction that was acting the best, it would make a lot of noise at high speed and then error out.At first I took everything apart (and I mean virtually everything), cleaned all the funk out, and made sure that everything that should move did so freely. This did nothing really; it was just doing the same thing but with less gunk in it.Did some investigation and saw that people online were having this issue and fxed iit by replacing this hall effect sensor. I replaced this sensor in about 15 minutes and it works like new now.

Great and cheap replacement part for my washer. I got the same model as the one that broke on my LG washer. How did I know this was the broken part, I honestly didn't know for sure other then what I gathered through some research on you tube videos. Basically my washer stopped spinning in one direction. It would spin one way but not the other, and when it did spin it had a loud humming noise.I said, well I can spend 50+ dollars on someone to tell me whats wrong then charge me even more for the parts and labor, or I can take the washer apart myself (you just need a bit of elbow grease and a very very small amount of brain memory) and get a 13 dollar part and fix it myself. 13 dollars later and some elbow grease, washer is working perfectly again. Just a tip, make sure you align the three notches from the part with the three notches on the washer first before you put this on because it can be a pain to try to take it off to put it on right. From what I have read if you don't get this thing put on properly , meaning aligning the notches correctly, you will still have issues with your washer spinning.

This fixed our "LE" code on our LG washer. It was easy for my husband to fix when he first watched a video on YouTube. After 2 very heavy loads (my husband washed pillows & blankets back to back) the washer quit spinning correctly. After researching online, this seemed to be the solution. Still working fine after 3 weeks. Anyone that can use a screw driver & socket wrench can fix this, man or woman!!

Bought to fix an LG washer. Unfortunately, there was more wrong with it than jus this part. Ended up having to trash the washer and get a new one. Good news is that it shipped and arrived pretty quick (4 days). The return process was fairly decent... don't know why it would have been free to take the pkg to a UPS store to print the return label, but it cost $6.99 for me to print it. Oh well, at least I got some money back!

My WM2077CW washing machine stopped working one day. I would set up a load of laundry, press "play", and it would fill with water as per normal. However, instead of spinning up nicely, the drum would just shiver and the display would start to read "LE". I did a little bit of research and determined that the problem was probably a worn out rotor position sensor, also know as a Hall effect sensor. I could not find a tutorial specific to my machine, but I figured that the low cost of this part, and the money I would save if sucessful, was worth the risk of it not working and having to call a professional or replace the machine anyway. Well, the good denizens of the Internet were right and replacing the sensor turned out to be an easy and satisfying DIY project. The most difficult part was mowing the machine so I could get to the access panel on its rear. After that I only had to remove 11 screws/bolts. There were two wire harnesses that I had to disconnect, one for the sensor, which was easy, and one for power to the motor coils, which was tricky. Then, I pried off the old sensor (it fastens with plastic tabs), snapped on the new one, and put everything back together in reverse order. And now I have clean underwear again!I feel a little odd about giving this product five stars, but only because you don't really have a choice if you need this part. It only comes in one flavor, as it were. Perhaps I should really write a review for the machine. I suppose there are washers that are more difficult to repair.

If your LG washer is showing an LE error, it thinks there's a problem with the motor. Often, the motor is fine and it's just the sensor or a broken wire in the wiring harness. I recommend starting with the sensor, and removing the wiring harness and manually inspecting it for broken wires.While you have the stator off, you can check it by testing with an ohm meter. There are three contacts, and the resistance of all three combinations (1 to 2, 1 to 3, 2 to 3) should be between 5 and 15 ohms. Mine all tested at 7 ohms.There are a number of videos on YouTube showing you how to do this job. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and 17mm and 10mm sockets, and a blade or scissors to cut one zip tie. That's it!It's great to fix a washer for $20 rather than have to buy a new one for $1000. :)

GE tech quoted $300 - $600 to fix our G.E Harmony top load washing machine by replacing motors. The machine would stop after a few seconds with some error message. So I checked the internet and found that this part may be the problem. Then I ordered one from Part Trader for $11.32. Delivered a few days early and in new condition. Installation was fairly straightforward with instructions found on the net. I also had to clean the clogged metal mesh in the hoses. After that, the machine started working perfectly again.

Fixed issue of LE error and washer not spinning . Problem is that I replaced this part one year sago and it's already bad. It's an easy repair job, but it should go more than a year.
