Product Description

SENSOR ASSEMBLY Specifications

This is a replacement sensor assembly for your washer. It may also be known as a motor rotor position sensor. The sensor assembly monitors the direction and speed of the spinning rotor and communicates this information to the electronic control board. If your washer pumps but will not spin or agitate, you may have a damaged sensor assembly. This part is sold individually, and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. Be sure to shut off the power to your washer before you begin this repair.

LE Error Message and won't spin drum properly
I first tested the motor per the service manual. I checked the resistance between the terminals of the 3 pin connector. It's supposed to be 5-15 ohms. The motor checked out so I replaced the main electrical board. It turns out that wasn't the problem. After a brief web search I found out that the hall sensor (which is attached to the motor stator) was the likely cause of the failure. I replaced that and everything works great now. And now I have a spare main board in case that ever fails. I also want to mention that I took the time to remove the dispenser box (where the water comes in and is directed to the different cleaning products) and cleaned it with a very strong bleach solution. It got rid of the mildew and funky smell. It seems that the fabric softener caused a lot of mildew to form inside the dispenser directly above the fabric softener tray. The bleach took care of that. This is probably something that should be done routinely to keep the mildew from forming.

LE fail code
Removed back of washer with screw driver, Removed outer motor cover with a 17 mm socket (1 bolt), Removed motor stater using 10 mm socket (8 bolts). Left motor plugged in and and tipped to the side exposing the sensor. Unplug and snap off sensor. Reassembled in opposite order. Machine works great. Very easy fix, and perfect fit on part.

"Le" Fail Code on digital display ... Washer would not agitate and made an odd noise.
I first thought there was a mechanical problem but after checking everything mechanical I discounted that idea ... I researched and found out from others with a similar problem that the Le code display was probably a sensor problem ... I ordered a replacement sensor ... With the new sensor available, I removed the access panel to the back of the machine (phillips head screw driver - 4 screws) ... Remove the exposed motor half (1 bolt - 17mm scocket) ... Loosen the motor stator that has the wired coils (10mm socket - 6 bolts) ... Hold motor unit to the side without disconnecting the wiring harness ... Disconnect the sensor wire connector and remove the old sensor ... Clip the new sensor in place (same position as the old one) and re-connect ... Reverse the assembly procedures ... This fixed the problem and the washing machine works like a new one ... The wife is HAPPY!

Code LE
Disconnected power supply and water supply hoses. Laid machine on its back because this is a top load machine. Removed one bolt to take off stator then 6 bolts to remove rotor. Put it on side without taking off wire assembly. Snapped off rotor position sensor and installed new one. Put all back together and connected power supply and new stainless braided hoses. WORKS PERFECT. Thanks !

The washer drum would not spin around completely. It would just jerk and try to spin. Error code LE showed up.
We followed the installation video step by step that was found on another website.

Worked like a charm!
The LG customer service dept. performed several test and resets and that took awhile as my mobile phone service is dicey here and we kept dropping calls. They said "Call a service tech" and were kind enough to give me a list of local techs. I did more research and this site listed the symptoms I was seeing. Ordered the part, looked up the install and it took about a half hour and all is well. Thanks!

Solved rotation issue
This part was the charm. We had to replace our main control board. But even then we had no rotation of the drum. After reading reviews we ordered this part too. I’m happy to report that this part finished the repair! My 12 year old LG is running like a champ again! Reduce, reuse, recycle ?? and REPAIR! ??

Perfect Fit, Simple Repair, Quick to Ship!
The part was shipped to me faster than expected, especially in the middle of a worldwide pandemic where the laundry can pile up quick and noone wants to share space at the laundromat. I laid my top-loading machine on its back, removed the two sections of the direct drive motor and swapped out the new sensor. The entire process took about 30 minutes to complete and the washer runs like new again. Partselect.com is the only place I'll be ordering my parts from in the future. ?????

Great part, easy fix!
When my washer started making that horrible “straining” sound when trying to spin, I wanted to cry! But, I looked up the problem, found this website, and ordered the part, praying that this part would be easy to install and fix my problem. My prayers were answered as the part was delivered quickly and with the help of my Dad, the part was installed easily (with the help of video instructions!). My washer works great now! I am so happy, I have been washing stuff that doesn’t need to be washed!
