Chibe September 19, 2012 for Model Number wm2277hw I have a Lg washer about five years old and it is in a very good shape. It stop working and I open at the back of the machine and push the drum four time and the machine wash five load. The next morning it went to the same problem. I replace the hall sensor. Now the machine does not agitate, or spin or wash the clothes. I follow the yellow, red and blue wires from the control board, I cant seems to get 120 come out. I unplug the wire harness and check the ac, I was not able to get 120 volt.
1 Answer Hi Chibe. You are on the right track. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. What code's are showing now? Disconnect the motor connector and measure the terminal resistance. From pin # 1-2 , # 2-1 and # 3-1 you need to have 5-15 ohm resistance. If the measurements are different then these, replace the stator part # 4417FA1994G. Drive Motor Stator Assembly - This front load washer drive motor stator includes the rotor position sensor switch (RPS). For the RPS switch only order 6501KW2002B. Thank you. Read More...
Murray June 02, 2012 for Model Number LG WM0532HW My LG front load gives me an LE error code, I replaced the stator hall sensor, inspected the the magnets and all look good. The stator ohms out at 8 ohms on all 3 windings. I ohm’d out all the wires to the stator and sensor from the control board. It does work sometimes, if I put a meter on the control PCB at the motor connector when it works I get 50 to 70 volts AC, but while monitoring the voltage when it errors I see the meter go from 1.2 volts to 2 volts and a few seconds later it errors. The motor does not hum or vibrate so it appears it is not getting the voltage to turn. My recir pump is very noisy but it apprear to be working fine as I can see the water cascading down the front door. Do I have a bad control board or is the stator bad, or could it be the recir pump giving me a pressure fault. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Murray. Based on the voltage readings you got, it sounds like the control board 6871ER1023R is at fault and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Bev May 24, 2012 for Model Number WM2032HS I was doing wash and several times restarted machine after in went into LE code (motor overload). A technician replaced the sensor less than a year ago. Now the LE code is back and the machine fills then when it should start washing it just sits and makes a humming and soft clicking noise for a while and nothing happens, the tub does not start to move or spin. I removed the stator/motor part with the sensor attached and thought I would just buy a new motor but your previous similar questions seem to suggest it is the sensor or the control panel and not the motor. Any ideas what this is. I do not want to start replacing parts on a 7 year old machine when I may be better off to just go out and buy a new machine for $500-600. Is 7 years for this type of appliance the trouble zone as soon as warranty expires?
1 Answer Hello Bev. Based on the error code. You will need to check and make sure none of the magnets on the rotor are cracked. If not, you will need to replace the stator assembly 4417FA1994G on the unit. Read More...
Matt S. May 24, 2012 for Model Number WM0532HW My LG washer will not engage into the Spin Cycle. The washer just makes a humming sound like its trying to spin for a few seconds thanI get a flashing LE Code. I have unplugged my machine to reset it and it still doesn't help. I have also replaced the Drive Motor Stator #AP4438648(with RPS)as well as the Rotor Assembly #AP443865 and that did not solve my problem. Any suggestions on what my issue might be?
1 Answer Hello Matt. If the stator and the rotor are new, you will need to replace the wiring harness 6877ER1016B on the unit. Read More...
Greg February 25, 2012 for Model Number wm2075cw When there are clothes in the washer it does not move left or right. When I took the clothes out it would move. I am not getting any air. When it does not move it makes weird loud noises.
1 Answer Hi Greg. Remove the back wall. is the rotor center bolt tight ? If so then you need to remove the rotor and see if the inner magnets are cracked, use a magnifying glass. Check the wires going to the stator motor and the RPS sensor part # 6501KW2002B. It is a common issue at times. This part has been upgraded. Use a volt/ohm meter to see if the motor windings ohm out between 5-15 ohms on all 3 windings. looking at the winding terminal it reads from lt. to rt. #3 , #2 , #1 . From 1-2, from 2-3, from 3-1 : About 5-15 ohms. not open(infinity) or shorted (0)ohms. If so then the stator is part # 4417FA1994G. Thank You. Read More...
Paul February 14, 2012 for Model Number wm0532hw was washing a load of clothing.went back to check if load was finished washing, found machine stop flashing code le.i stop machine,drain and remove cloth from machine.restart machine. machine fill up drum rotate in one direction then stop start to rotate in the opposite direction but stalls.making a humming sound.drum rotates freely in both direction by hand.rotor and stator show no sign of damage. what do you think is the problem ?
1 Answer Paul, The "LE" error code, on your machine indicates and issue in the motor and is usually due to ba faulty sensor assembly6501KW2002B or main control board 6871ER1023R. You can test the stator to start, disconnect the stator wiring and test all the terminals to each other, there should be a resistance reading of 5 to 15 ohms, that will varify if the stator itself is at fault. Check for loose connections at the RPS sensor and the nmain control board. If all's OK, replace the RPS sensor first. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Jared February 02, 2012 for Model Number WM0532HW Hello my washer starts filling then agitates then stops and flashes ce. What parts should I replace?
1 Answer Hello Jared. The CE code is for: Over current error. Caused by an obstruction in between tubs, too many clothes, too much detergent, wrong detergent. Clean out soap dispenser, remove lodged items. Lessen clothing in tub make sure tub turns free. If all is good, replace the stator assembly 4417FA1994G. Hope this helps. Read More...
David January 12, 2012 for Model Number WM0532HW The washer will fill with water and starts ok. But during the wash when the drum rotates, it shifts back and forth or it will rotate in one direction and will stop with LE code. It also makes a funny noise when the drum is in motion. A service tech replaced the sensor on the drive motor stator assembly but I am still getting the LE code. He said I will probably need to replace both the drive motor stator assembly and the rotor assembly. Does that sound right?
1 Answer Hello David. Yes, if the sensor is new, you will need to replace the stator 4417FA1994G and rotor AHL72914402. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ray January 03, 2012 for Model Number lg wm0532hw Can I get to the rotor assembly from the rear of unit or will I have to take drum and all other parts from front. I have ce error but have had problems draining or out of ballance issues. Thanks Ray
1 Answer Hello Ray. You can remove the stator assembly 4417FA1994G from the back of the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mike December 26, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW I recently had a problem with the LE error code...MOTOR OVERLOAD OR Stator Control problem...I REPLACED THE HALL SENSOR...still fills with water...hums a littlle...will not spin...Do you still recommend replacing the Stator Assembly...is that the next step or is there a possible control board issue? Could you ask atec and respond.....? Mike
1 Answer Hello Mike. Check and make sure the wiring harness and the magnets in the rotor are not cracked. Either one will cause the LE code. If both are good, then you will need to replace the stator 4417FA1994G. Hope this helps. Read More...
