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

By buying the right part and doing it my self 

We followed the video instructions and it was veriy easy . My husband did it in 15 min . Thank you appliance parts pro . 

Followed video and it was very easy. Had part in hand day after I ordered it. Simply amazing and helpful 

Easy after I watched the video....without the video...I do not know....magnets were very strong and a bit afraid how much pressure to apply to remove 

Replace the rotor position sensor switch 

Ordered parts, watched video and all was fixed in an hour. Cost around $50 total when my wife was looking to spend close to $1000 for a new washer and then we would obviously need to match with a new dryer! Appliancepartspros.com is a guy's best friend! 

Purchased replacement part from AppliancePartsPro and followed instructions in their UTube video. 

Searched Web on the code "LE" which indicated that the rotor position indicator switch needed to be replace, watched your video on the procedure to replace it, ordered the part, repaired it. I replaced the drum bearing and seal on the same washer 4 months ago. I saved several hundreds dollars doing it myself and viewing your repair videos. Your parts and assistance is extremely valuable! 

I googled the model number and problem and found that although there are at least half a dozen things that can go wrong and cause the washer not to spin and generate error LE, 90% of the time it is the hall sensor switch that goes bad. Since it was only ~$20 I decided to just replace it. There was a video on AppliancePartsPros.com that showed exactly how to do it. It took about 15 minutes and fixed the problem. My wife thinks I'm a genius. I didn't tell her I had a secret weapon called AppliancePartsPros.com. 

I ordered a replacement rotor position sensor and followed the terrific video from this website on its replacement. One item of caution- the three small tabs that click over the tiny pins on the edge of the stator have a small amount of play in them, and once the stator is tightened back down to the drum housing, I found that one of the tabs was slightly pushed out past the outer face of the stator brushes and was rubbing against the magnets on the inside face of the rotor housing, causing the LE error to return after several loads. As I rotated the drum, it sounded like a rubbing brake pad on an out-of-true bike wheel rim. After disassembling the parts again once I figured out what might be the problem, I was able to keep the tab pushed in with my finger while re-tightening the stator bolts, and it remained firmly in place and clear of the magnets. The drum returned to a smooth rotation just like new, and no more LE error codes. I had feared early signs of a bad bearing, but fortunately it was not, and easy to fix.
