How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP7015078 / 6501KW2002B Washer Rotor Position Sensor Assembly

Replaced the Rotor Position Sensor 

Washer is about 10 years old, was getting code LE motor position sensor. Did a quick search, watched a YouTube video, ordered this part right after. Time to fix about an hour. 

Replaced the sensor assembly. 

Looked at your video on how to replace the rotor position sensor switch, and change it myself. Washed some clothes to test it, so far so good, The big test is when the wife washes clothes. Thanks for everything. 

Replacement of rotor sensor.. 

I had no clue how to fix an appliance. So I went to the appliancepatrspro.com site it stated I needed the rotor sensor. The site showed me a video on fixing it. I am not mechanical incline but the video shows you step by step how to replace it. I ordered the part and came in two days, and it took me less than 30 min to replace the part. I thought that I had to call a repair person or buy a new washer since my is over 10 years old but that was not the case. The part cost me just $24.99. Now its working perfectly. 

Changing out the rotor position sensor solved the issue. I also had a drain pump that had failed. While the front panel was off, I replaced the old nasty door boot gasket. The sensor and drain pump were fairly easy repairs. Lots of videos to show you how if you need a reference. The door boot gasket can be a real pain. Lube the new one with a little dish soap- warning: metal clamps do NOT go back on as easy as they come off. If I had to do it again, I would probably invest in the spring tool. 

WIFE TOLD ME WE HAD A LE CODE.. I ORDERED HALL SENSOR,,SHOULD BE QUICK FIX FLIP MACHINE ON SIDE ,,ONE 17MM NUT...SIX 10 MM NUT SNAP OFF OLD AND SNAP ON NEW...WELL LO AND BEHOLD MY LG WASH MACHINE DOESNT HAVE A HALL SENSOR (WHICH IS BAFFLING BECAUSE EVERY VIDEO I FOUND ON INTERNET SHOWED THAT THERE WAS...THERE WAS EVEN A SPOT ON THE STATOR WHERE IT WOULD FIT??) ,,,I PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER...THEN REALIZED IT WASNT LE CODE ..IT WAS ACTUALLY IE CODE...GRRRRR I TOOK OFF WATER HOSES ,,,CLEANED FILTERS AND BRAVO WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS 

Did research and found that the rotor position sensor can go bad and cause the LE error on LG front loading washers. Decided to purchase this part for $30 rather than spend hundreds on a repair person coming out. SO GLAD I DID! It was a very easy fix, took about 15 minutes to replace and now our washer is functioning perfectly again! 

Video was helpful. Repair took 15 minutes. Used advice from a previous review and used an impact wrench to remove and replace the drum bolt. Very easy diy.
