Bob R for Model Number wm2277hw My LG acted like the motor would lock up or be overloaded. Eventually it gave me the infamous "LE" code. The suggestion was to test the stator and if it was ok, to replace the hall sensor. Which I ordered and installed. Now the motor does turn but it grinds and sounds overloaded and is making the stator smoke. I immediately disconnected the unit and tested the stator. It was hot but tested out 7 ohms on each leg. Now what the harness checks good. The control unit?. Any help owuld be appreciated.
Answer Bob, You will want to double check the installation of the stator and hall sensor. If the parts are not lined up properly or leaning a little it will cause the stator to grind and smoke. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, March 26, 2013
