Chris for Model Number LG WM2277HW Hello, I have an LG WM2277HW. While it was running on a quick wash cycle it started to have an electrical smell. It had 8 minutes left and I walked away for 5 or so minutes came back and it was still on 8 minutes. The smell was worse. Turned it off and decided to run another load to see if I could tell what was happening. It ran for a few minutes and stopped and gave an LE code. While I stood watching it the drum would turn counter clockwise but 9 out of 10 times when it tried going clockwise it made a sort of buzzing sound and acted like it was binding and would not turn in that direction. I pulled the whole thing apart (few yrs ago I had replaced bearings, seals, spider purchased from appliance parts pros) to see if the problem would be obvious. No such luck. Do you think the rotor position sensor switch is bad? I did check the stator, all three tested at 8 ohms. Thanks for your time.
Answer Chris, The RPS sensor would be a likely cause for this. The best option would be to get the tech sheet located inside the unit and do the testing specified under the LE code. This will guide you to which part has failed. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, April 2, 2020
