Joel Metzler July 15, 2015 for Model Number WM2277HS We have been getting the LE code on our washer for the past few weeks. We did some of the fixes suggested on this site and others such as, unplugging for 5 minutes, spinning the drum a few times, checking all the connections, replacing the sensor & then today we placed the motor assembly. However, all have failed. I read somewhere a couple weeks ago that the LE code could be because of a problem with the seal of the door. Well, I did notice that every time I did a load of laundry there would be some water that ran out from the bottom of the door in the middle and leave a little puddle of water on the floor. Not much, about 3 tablespoons or so. Could this be the cause for the LE code. I just want this thing fixed. The laundry mat is getting old! Help! Thanks!
1 Answer Joel, The LE error code would not be caused by a leak of the door or anything to do with the door on the unit. This issue would be caused by the things that you have replaced already, a wiring issue or a faulty control board. Since you have already replaced the motor on the unit you will want to check the wiring between the main control and the motor to make sure that there are no damaged wires. If the wiring checks ok then you will need to replace the control board. Read More...
Steve July 11, 2015 for Model Number WM2801HWA Washing machine would not spin. I replaced the Main Control Board and the Rotor Position Sensor and it still will not spin. What is my next course of action?
1 Answer Steve, You will want to test the door lock assembly. Even if the light for the door lock comes on, if the switch inside that enables spin is not making then the unit will not spin. This will be the most likely cause but you will also want to double check the wiring between the control board and motor. Read More...
Alex June 01, 2015 for Model Number WM2688HWM Lot the LE code on my washer. Prior to this it made a louder than normal noise for a few washes while in spin cycle. Removed back cover and stator assembly and stator assembly has some dark brown stuff all over it, maybe from a leak? I also found a broken wire. My question is should/can I clean the stator assembly, do I need to replace it? Any ideas on whether I have a leak where it could be coming from?
1 Answer Alex, If there is a leak then it will most likely be coming from the tub bearing and seal where the shaft comes through the tub. You should be able to clean the stator and as long as it is not damaged should not have to replace. Most likely the RPS sensor is bad also since you are getting LE code. Read More...
Ken May 05, 2015 i have an lg tromm washing machine. it keeps stopping and giving the le error. We replaced the hall sensor switch and it started and went thru like the first ten minutes of the wash then stops and gives the error again.
1 Answer Ken, You will want to check the rotor and stator to make sure that there are no broken magnets. If they check ok then you will want to replace the main control board which would cause the error. Read More...
Baker March 20, 2015 for Model Number LG WM2501HVA My 6 year old LG washer, model WM2501HVA is having spin issues. Let me begin by saying I have received NO ERROR CODES. I recently changed the rotor, due to the all too common spline tooth failure, but after reassembly, the washer wont go into full spin. My next step was to change the RPS (HALL) sensor. No improvement, performance is the same. Sometimes, during spin, it shudders and makes a grinding noise, other times it will spin free, appear to try to balance over and over again. Sometimes it will go into a quiet spin, but you can hear it stepping down and picking up repeatedly, but it won't go into high spin. The pump operates, and the drum empties. The filter and drain hose are clean. So, my question: Do I replace the stator or the control board next?
1 Answer Baker, The most likely cause for the issue that you are having would be a bad stator. Read More...
Bill December 20, 2014 for Model Number WM0642HW I've had great luck with you in the past. My LG washer (Model Number WM0642HW) keeps giving me an LE code. Various LG sources say it has something to do with the Motor Overload. I'm simply not sure what part to replace to correct the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bill, The LE fault code indicates a "locked motor error". As per the manufacturer, the following could be the cause: • The connector (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS is not connected to the connector (3-pin, female, white) of STATOR ASSEMBLY. • The electric contact between the connectors (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS and 4-pin, female, white connector in the MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is bad or unstable. • The MOTOR HARNESS between the STATOR ASSEMBLY and MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is cut (open circuited). • The hall sensor is out of order/defective.

Dale August 02, 2014 for Model Number LG wm2077CW Washing machine started showing LE error code. I replaced the rotor position sensor switch and that fixed it for around a month and then showed the LE code again. I replaced it with another new sensor switch and it worked again for about a month before showing the LE code again. Wires don't look broken. I discovered if I took off the Drive motor stator assembly completely and reinstalled it that the machine would work again for a few cycles. Have done this about 6 times and now it doesn't work anymore and shows LE code.
1 Answer Hello Dale, The inside of the motor rotor should be checked for cracked magnets. The motor windings should be closely inspected for any signs of the rotor contacting it or the RPS. If no issues are found, replace the RPS harness 6877ER1016B. Read More...
Susan M February 01, 2014 for Model Number Lg My washer has a burning smell inside after the wash cycle,but it only happens after the first load,but yesterday when I opened the door to remove the clothes there was a lot of smoking coming out of the inside ...
1 Answer Hello Susan. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Wally January 28, 2014 for Model Number WM0532HW I just replaced the drive motor stator assembly and I'm getting the error message CE (overload in motor). Im not sure where to go from here or what to check for after. Please help.
1 Answer Wally, With the drive motor stator assembly having already been replaced, the issue with the unit would be caused by a faulty main control board. Read More...
