Eric C October 22, 2015 for Model Number lg wm2301hw Washer decided it would not spin, tub would not turn. when putting washer in drain/spin and hitting go, tub would shake a touch, then sit still for 60 seconds, the give LE code. I kicked it into diagnostic mode, ran through the modes, the tub was turning, but 'timer' showing 00 (bad hall sensor?) When it hit the full spin diagnostic, the washer shut down, and will not power back on. Tested, and filter (fuse) is bad. Tested resistance in rotor, and seeing 8.1 ohms (I've seen it should test between 7.4 and 7.8) -- I'm afraid when I put the new filter in (should be here tomorrow) it will just pop the fuse again.
1 Answer Hello Eric. The LE code is locked motor. The connector (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESSis not connected to the connector (3-pin, female, white) ofSTATOR ASSEMBLY.• The electric contact between the connectors (3-pin, male,white) in the MOTOR HARNESS and 4-pin, female, whiteconnector in the MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is bad or unstable.• The MOTOR HARNESS between the STATOR ASSEMBLYand MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is cut (open circuited).• The hall sensor is out of order/defective.

Eric G. August 17, 2015 for Model Number WM2501HVA My LG front loading washing machine will not power on at all. Replaced the rotor assembly because I noticed the drum was slipping. When the new rotor came in I removed (still dripping we to) clothing from the washer and noticed the bolt securing the rotor to the drum was loose. Replaced the rotor and the machine would not power on at all. Ohm checked the fuse on the noise filter and found it was blown. Replaced noise filter and the machine still would not power on. I don't know where to go from here, looking at the old rotor and the magnets had some wear on them so I'm sure the rotor magnets contacted the stator. The stator has no visible signs of damage. Should I look at replacing the stator, the main control board, or is there other fuses that could be blown? Sorry for the long post, I wanted to give a complete history. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
1 Answer Eric, With having a new noise filter on the unit, check to see if the main control board is getting power. If it is then the issue will be with the main control board having failed. Read More...
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...
