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.

What i should do o change for a LG washer "de" Error code
For model number WM3470HVA
PartSelect logo
Hi Lina, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, the "dE" error code on your LG washer indicates that the washer door was unable to lock. To fix this error code, we would recommend to turn the machine off by pressing the power button and unplug your machine and restart it again. Next, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds. If that does not work, you may need to check the door lock assembly, part number PS3533609, to help fix this issue. We hope this information helps!

When coming to the spin cycle, the washer stops and displays the LE code. I’ve tried the “unplug/press and hold start button/replug” reset but still persists. I’ve been able to finish the spin cycle by restarting and running on speed cycle setting. My research diagnosis would tell me that it’s the Hall sensor at fault. Is this likely correct ? And if so, which part should I be ordering? Thanks!
For model number WM2701H
PartSelect logo
Hi Randy, thank you for reaching out. An LE error code indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load. Since you have already reset the washer, we recommend checking to replace the rotor position sensor switch, part number PS16556422. We hope this solves your issue!

Will part #6501kw2002a changed to #6501kw2002B fit my front load lg washer.
For model number WM3370HWA

Hello Denise, thank you for the query. According to our research, the sensor assembly does not come separately. You may need to buy the stator assembly, part number PS3635512. We hope this helps!
