The Sensor Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This component is crucial for detecting and monitoring various conditions within the washing machine, such as water level, temperature, and load balance. It ensures the machine operates efficiently and effectively by providing accurate data to the control board.

- Incorrect water levels during cycles
- The washing machine stopping mid-cycle or not completing cycles
- Error codes related to water level or load balance
- The machine failing to start or operate correctly
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
