Great video. My LG Front Load Washer was Model WM2140CW, but everything was almost identical to the machine in the video. After going to KZfaq, the problem I assumed was a faulty Hall Sensor as the machine was giving a repeated LE error code. Ordered the part online through Amazon and took a little over a week to arrive. Cost with tax was $14.63. Job took about 45 minutes total. The cover to the motor, the motor, the wiring were almost identical to what was in the video. Even the 10mm socket was the same. For novices, the motor is like a huge magnet. There's a noticeable pull when removing the cover to the motor. Machine now works great. Much better than paying $648 (on sale) plus taxes, plus $50 to haul away the old washer. A minimum of $750, when the problem was a faulty part that can fit into the palm of your hand. Replaced the old hoses just to be safe.

Thank you so much for this video! I fixed my LG washer that was suffering the same issue, but I wouldn’t have had the confidence to do it without this very helpful video. I ordered the sensor from Amazon for $13. Then I watched your video a couple more times, and using basic tools I already had, replaced the sensor myself. To anyone wondering if this can be done, I say, if I can do it, you can do it too.

Great presentation because you mention the possible fault that will occur and not just replacing the sensor if LE message will appear.You also mentioned the purpose of the sensor on the program. There are a lot of presentation but I found it is only for non technicians. Your presentation is not boring for a technical person. Great work.

THANK YOU! This is exactly what was wrong with my LG. A $10 fix is far better than a new washer. The washer symptoms were: Would want to rotate but could not. Sounded a bit grindy and would be locked in back, (not rotating) it would smell metallically, seemed to me like the "transmission" was going out. I just thought I would try this first for $10 and then see if we needed to do more. This was the fix! I am only semi mechanical and this was pretty easy. I did mark things to be sure and also took a pic of the wiring to be sure. The only thing that was a bit uncertain is when I was putting on the new sensor it had two clip spots when the original only had one. Just pay attention to that and all was good. Thanks again, saved me $100's and it only took about 20 mins.

You've helped a lot of us DIY's with your video and I thank you kindly for that. after watching the video I ordered the part from Amazon and replaced it and it worked just fine, however I did have a little hitch with the part that I ordered, the 5 little holes that it's supposed to snap with were partially plugged from when it got molded, but Instead of returning it I just went ahead and scraped them clean until I got it to snap. Again, this was very clear and detailed video.

Thanks. Going to give this a try. Getting the part from a local appliance parts store. Sure enough this fixed my problem too. A bit difficult getting the 17mm bolt off. I tried hitting it hard even with a hammer but the rotor kept turning. What I did was poke two pieces of 1/4" round wooden dole in two places and that held it place much better than just a screw driver. Thanks for post.

Wanted to say, the company says there is a way to reset the washers LE. Unplug it or turn the power off, press and hold the play pause button for five seconds to reset it. Plug it back in and maybe it runs. Sometimes the sensor needs to be reset if you’ve ran an extra big load or had a bulky item in their thrashing around Ken tripped the sensor.

This worked for me for a couple of weeks (three washes) but went back to same problem after a heavy bedding load (wife). I believe this was the cause of a heavy load the first time I had this mall function I now am thinking the position sensor is masking another problem that heavy loads bring on that never used to happen perhaps some other component is at the root cause

Thanks for this video! I just moved and my washer was stored for a year in a garage in which it got quite cold during winter. I installed it and now i have the LE error. It kinda spins for 2 minutes on almost every cycle then it stops and gives me the error. I just ordered a sensor from Amazon and will be changing it next week. Hopefully it'll fix the issue. You explain the problem well and changing this is way less scary than taking everything apart as I saw in another video for the LE error. I will update this comment once I have the result.

Why didn't you use a 17 mm socket wrench? Once you popped off the tutorial sensor you put what looked like the same one back on. The view looked like you had the washer on its side? What happened to the bearing seal? Someone must have put too much heavy clothes at the top filling it over capacity. My bearings must have given out which would explain why it sounded like a freight train. Thanks for the video, good info.
