Is this kit washer specific or works with any front load lg washer?
Changing out the hall sensor cleared my LE error and has me up and running again. $30 on Amazon, saved me a few hundred I’m sure if I would have called someone out. Thank you sir!!
Before trying all this…you may want to just unplug the unit for a few minutes (I walked away for 5 minutes) as you are plugging in, press the “Play/Pause” looking button for 5 seconds. Doing those two things reset my washer, without having to get behind the unit or take anything apart. Same worked for my dryer two months ago too!! 🙌🏼
Yeah, when you perform a reset after an LE code in some cases its due to just simply over working/stuffing the machine. Break up your loads if you pack it heavy.
THANK YOU!! After avoiding dealing with my washer I fixed it in 5 minutes haha
This was very helpful! S ok glad I didn’t have to get a new part
Thanks for posting this. I tried this out and it sadly didn't work so we got a new wire harness and it worked!
Life saver ty!!!
Probably the best type of repair i've seen - in that no waffle, no slow mo of every screw being undone. I wish all tech videos were the same.
Did exactly as you said and our washing machine is now functioning perfectly. My thanks to you for this as I was down to my last clean pair of underwear. Besides that, my wife thinks I’m a genius for fixing it independently and not having to pay for a service call! All the best to you!!
😂 same!
My husband and our handyman think I'm a genius! Hoorah!
You, my friend, are a rockstar!!! Thanks so much for such a detailed video. I only had to change the sensor and you saved me from calling a repairman who would charge about $130 just to walk in the house and then tell me he would need to come back because he does not have the part. I am sure he would say all the parts would need to be changed. Probably would be 2 weeks later and then charge me a total of $350+. Not only did you save me $$ but also wasted time at the laundry mat. Ordered the part from your link and done in 3 days.
great help and you were spot on, I did not change the wire harness but the OEM sensor 6501KW2002A was about $27 out the door, thanks tons!
Spot on... fixed within 30 minutes. Dialed in... thank you. You even had the bolt sizes in the video. Right on! Literally 30 minutes for any guy that is mechanical. THANK YOU!
I did it! Fixed my washer for $40 cdn. Cannot thank you enough! Followed your instructions to the letter. Excellent video.
LG washer started showing an LE error and found your video. Great tutorial! Bought both parts from amazon for just over $40. Took about 20 minutes to repair following your instructions. Saved me a lot of money! Thanks again. Big fan!
Thanks! Precise and to the point - no wasted time with life history etc. I had the LE code, watched your video, got the parts, followed your excellent directions and now my washer is back up and running.
My wife was convinced we needed a new washer. After watching your video I thought "what the heck? $50 in parts from Amazon (which I could return if I had to) is worth a roll of the dice!"
Sure enough, swapped the wiring harness and sensor, put everything back together, and BAM!, the thing works like new!!
Thanks for saving me $950!!
Thank you so much! All the research I did before pointed at needing a new washing machine and I was ready to spend over $1,000. Weeks washing clothes daily for our kids, so there’s no option to not have a washing machine. Found your video and immediately bought the kit from you on Amazon. All the instructions were super clear and I had no issues doing it myself. Took me less than 20 min to do the work and now I feel I have a brand new machine. You saved me over 1,000 bucks. Thank you so much.
Not only spot on but also sells them in a combo pack, didnt bother testing to see which was really bad as suggested. Just replaced both like he said and washer came right back to life. Now the wife is happy so im happy. Thank you very much!!
The LE error code came up a week ago. I went down to Home Depot and purchased another washing machine for $1,001. The Home Depot rep suggested I look around TH-cam for a possible fix as delivery wasn't for another 3 weeks. I found your video. Problem fixed for $12, and I canceled the order for a new machine yesterday. I feel like I got a $1,000 Xmas gift. Thank you so much for taking the time to film this and put it out to the public. Instructions are clear, easy to follow and detailed so you know what to order and the tools you need before getting started.
Part numbers that worked for me:
Wiring harness: 6877ER1016H
Hall sensor: 6501KW2002A
You probably want to remove yours first to make sure it is the same.
I splurged for the genuine LG parts, about $28 each on Amazon.
Washer works great now!!
Thank you very much for the video!
I’d like to report yet another success story! Thank you for the holiday gift of an operational washing machine!!! The necessary repair was simple with this video as a guide. I highly recommend a view to anyone experiencing the LE error condition with their LG washer.
Thank you for this great video! You did an excellent job explaining and showing what needed to get done in order to fix the LE error code. No life story behind it like some other content creators do. Just short, sweet and to the point. My hall sensor was bad. You saved me a lot of time and money and for that I am very grateful. The part was only $10 on Amazon shipped to my door the next day.
I didnt even think to check Amazon before buying the Hall (Rotor Position) Senor from my local appliance parts which ran about $45. I wanted a Genuine LG OEM part and all the ones i found on Amazon were off-brand. Genuine from online parts stores were $28ish but would have taken days to ship. Either way just like you, had a bad sensor which swapping out fixed the issue.
Getting that main bearing nut off was a real pain.
Not all heroes wear capes!!!
Thanks for the parts and the tutorial... Saved me time and money!!!
What a life saver you have been! A heartfelt THANK YOU for this video and your clear assessment of the issue and instructions on fixing it. This is when I value the power of the internet with sharing information like this. Yay!! 🎉
I want to TRULY thank you for this video and your clear explanation to assess and repair the machine. We encountered this problem after a "heavy" load and we could not clear the error. Finding your explanation and video saved us time and MONEY. We did order the parts directly from the mfgr as it seemed the quickest and most expedient and replaced both the harness and the sensor. It now works like new again.
THANK YOU AGAIN for providing me with a solution.
Best appliance repair video by leaps and bounds! thanks so much. Coincidentally I started getting the LE error code a few weeks after needing to replace my cold water intake valve. Betcha a quarter it's the same issue as with the machine in this video. 5 stars!
This is so easy and accurate to follow, worked like a charm. I almost decided to buy a new machine, but this $10 part saved me! Thanks a ton!
Just watched this video a few days ago, ordered the parts and my machine is up and running! Awesome video. I repaired and my husband handed me the tools. Carol Germanoski inspired me. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! The instructions were easy to follow, and it was as easy as you made it look.
Excellent video and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. A clip on my hall sensor broke off so it was not seated properly. Two day delivery, 45 minute disassemble, repair and reassembly and it worked like new. Much appreciated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, I fixed my washer in one day. I ordered the sensor on Amazon and replaced in 15 minutes, only $ 10.
I was about to call LG to repair and decided to do a Google search first. So happy I found this video. I ordered the parts directly through the LG website and the repair was easy following this excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!! Not sure if the harness or hall sensor was the culprit so I will keep both used parts for now. BTW, we're pretty sure the LE error was caused by overloading the washer, especially with very big towels. We will be extra cautious next time.
I lucked out and guessed my rotor position sensor was the fault. Replaced it and the washer worked again!
For everyone wondering… pull the position sensor before buying the replacement. The old one will have the part number listed right on it. That’s the best way to know you’re buying the right one.
One of the best DiY videos I've ever seen--great work, narration, and editing!
Thank you so much for this very clear and instructive video! Bought the parts on Amazon. Saved us a lot of trouble and worked perfectly. Thanks again :)
Spot on! This video was beyond helpful!!! Explained quickly and clearly, easy to follow. Tried to save a few bucks by only buying one of the parts against his advice. Turned out the hall sensor was faulty so delayed my repair for 5 additional days waiting for a new one. Should have replaced both the first time and saved some grief. Wish I could like this video 1000 times! Thank You!!!
Best repair video ever! I don't want to see a guy remove eight bolts: after the first, I get it. Excellent commentary, with tips to keep us amateurs on the right track. If I was asked to edit this video, I would not have added anything nor would I have taken anything out. Thnk You!!
Best video on this topic by far. We’re clueless with appliances and this was an easy fix because of the great specific instructions. Turned a $$$ technician’s visit into $11 for a sensor. Fixed the LE error on our WM4270HVA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We were able to find the parts for $60, by using your video, replace the parts ourselves, and the washer is back up and running!! We are so proud of ourselves. A repair person would have been $150 just to get them to look at it and give us an estimate. I'm assuming it would have been over $300 for them to do the work.
However, when I first ordered the harness through Sears parts direct, they sent me only a piece of the harness and not the complete harness. I was unable to return the partial harness, however the process was definitely worth doing ourselves, even with this mistake.
Keep sharing your knowledge. You are really helping people and hopefully keeping appliances out of the landfill. 😊
You’re the bomb brother! This fixed our washer. Wish I had seen where I could buy the kit from you below the video before I scoured the internet and waited a week for parts. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for your guidance! Turned out replacing the Hall sensor (rotation position sensor) was the issue alone. So grateful!
This worked perfectly! Thank you so much for an excellent video. I started and stopped it along the way as I completed this repair. Everything went exactly as described and my washer is back in business! Thanks again!
watched this video, bought the part from lorainfurniture and now have the machine back up and running. Thanks for the great video and instructions
Thank you for the clear and concise tutorial. My 12 year old washer drum seized on me with an LE error on a Sunday morning.
After watching your video, I ordered a wire harness and a rotor position sensor on Amazon and I was able to fix my washer after work on Wednesday afternoon.
Family and friends said I got my monies worth on the washer and suggested I buy a new one. Well, you saved me hundreds (almost a thousand dollars) with $45 worth of parts.
Thank you so much!!
This video was so informative and easy to follow. Parts came in 2 days and took 1/2 hr to fix
My husband watched while I changed the parts🙂 Thank you!
Where did you get the parts?
Had plumbing issue and the plumber turned off the water supply, You are literally the only video that said check to see if your water is on and I THANK YOU.
Just followed this step by step. Took me about 15 min from start to finish. Only replaced the sensor (part# 6501KW2002A) for LG washer model WM3570HVA and it fixed the LE error! Thank you so much for the tutorial! The sensor was only $10 from Amazon and I'm sure it saved me hundreds of $$ from calling a repair man! Thanks again!
Thanks very much for including your LG Model # and the Part # of the Sensor that you used successfully. I have exactly the same model and I just ordered the same sensor, so that gives me some optimism that it is a correct part for my washer, and may actually fix the LE errors. I've also ordered a 6877ER1016F Multi-Wire Cable assembly, and I don't know if that is the right one, or not.
Another awesome video!
I pulled the short harness and did a pin to pin test, found 1 broken wire (blue) and 2 imminent failures. This was right at the plastic anchor clamp near the drum. 3 Crimp connectors later, I have a working machine.
I have ordered the harness from Lorain Furniture because YOU have done the leg work and shared it with us. Thank you for what you do!
This was clutch! Only repaired the sensor part since it was going to take a week more to get the cable. The sensor replacement was easy with your video. Went from planning to spend $600 on a new washer to a $14 fix!
The most informative video. I checked the part number online and ordered one from Amazon for just about $25(CAD). I changed the sensor of my machine in literally 15mins after watching your video. Really very well explained. Thanks to you. I saved atleast a couple hundred dollars in labour. Cheers!!
Could you please tell me what is the name of this part
@@BabAl-HaraEnglish4270 I had ordered from Amazon Canada.
Brand - PartsBroz
Product-
6501KW2002A Rotor Position Sensor Switch by PartsBroz - Compatible with LG Washers - Replaces AP4440680, 1268238, AH3529186, EA3529186, PS3529186
In my case the drum was not turning because this sensor was faulty. It was an easy fix.
@@nakulmohindar thanks for the info. My lg top load stopped spinning. Going to check this as well
@@AMC55555 I used this for front load. Not sure if it is the same part of the top load.
I cannot thank you enough. Followed this guide and changed the hall sensor. Fixed our washing machine. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!! I ordered the Hall Sensor (OEM) for ~$22 from Amazon, replaced it following your instructions and boom, it worked!!
I contacted LG authorized service person and he quoted $220 + $65 (Travel) if the issue is not with the motor and if the issue is with the Motor then $160+$65. Can't thank you enough for this great video!
I had LG Washer : lg wm4270hva
Was getting LE error code
Thank you! I ordered a new Hall sensor because it was only $30. The plates on the stator had some rust, especially on the bottom, so I brushed them off with a wire brush, gave them a spray of WD 40, wiped down the Rotor magnets, gave them a spray. Whole job took an hour, but add another hour to go buy new hoses. The cold water was leaking right at the machine. I suspect that some of the drips got into the rotor/stator causing the rust. Not sure if the rust was the problem or the hall sensor. Works great. Really appreciate the instructions. Now let's see if I can send you a few bucks for being so helpful.
Awesome. Here, 4 years later, your video helped me repair my washer easily. Great info. Thanks again.
Do you have a link for these parts by chance
Thank you! Did exactly what you did and got my washer back working again. Changed both parts as advised and it worked like a charm!!!
I had a LE code. Thanks to this video, I was able to find and tighten a loose nut and fix my issue in 10 minutes! Y'all rock :)
One of your videos was in my recommended to watch and thought it was interesting your company name contains Lorain, considering the history in Cleveland. When I clicked on your channel because I was interested after seeing Lorain, I saw you were located in Cleveland! Your store is literally 10 minutes east from my home. I live closer to W 130th. Subscribed instantly. Your content is pretty interesting
Appreciation your effort to clarify the error , its really help me to rectify and replace the sensor safely , thanks
I followed your instructions to the T and bam. Working again like a charm. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. This fix cost me $44.00 rather than a couple hundred or more I’m sure. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏🏻👍🏻
My LG had the same problem - Broken Wire! In that lower motor harness. The red wire going to the Hall Sensor. Used a multimeter and checked for continuity in the harness and sure enough snapped the red one right at the zip tie holding it to the body of the machine before it goes to the tub. Thanks for the video! It seemed everyone else online jumps to replace the Hall sensor (so did I).
Great video. Bought the parts. Did the repair as instructed. Machine worked great. Guessing you saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks.
This did the trick for me as well. I ordered the parts from the link in the description. Thank you very much for saving me hundreds on a repair tech!
EXCELLENT Video! My washer is displaying the LE code right now. I have an appt scheduled for 2 days from now. I'll be curious to see what the tech does to my machine. Seeing this video really helps me be aware of whether or not the tech will know what he is doing! THANKS!!
I followed your video and was able to repair my machine! Thank you!
A couple of observations:
The rotor took a LOT more shimmying to remove than I expected after watching the video. The stator was also quite a bit heavier than I anticipated.
Thanks so so much
My wife had a repair guy come and after two visits it still didn't work
I just put a new sensor and harness in and...... WORKING!!!!
LE error gone
You sir are the Man
So glad I found your video! Saved me hundreds of dollars. I did have a hard time removing the center bolt, no matter how hard I tried to pop it loose it wouldn't budge. I ended up placing the ratchet facing 9 o'clock, held the drum still with my hand, and used a hammer to gently hit the ratchet in a downward direction. Seemed to pop the bolt loose pretty easily. Everything else was pretty simple. Thanks again!
I've tried this and my bolt still won't come off ☹️
Watched this video, and bought the part from you guys via your link. Arrived in 2 days! You just saved me a buttload of money and taught me how to fix my own washing machine. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this! I just fixed mine in about an hour with the $12 replacement sensor from Amazon. My wiring harness looked good so I didn't bother replacing it. Ran a couple loads through the wash now and seems to be working great.
Excellent video, saved me a lot of time and money, super easy. Never thought I could fix a washing machine. Thank You !!!
Thank you! Worked like a charm. I didn’t want to short change it so replaced both the sensor and wiring harness. $75 in parts beats a new machine any day. I owe you.
I want to take the time to Thank you for the video!!! It's clear and super easy to follow.
Same with many of the ppl commented here, I only needed to repair the hall sensor. Saved me $ and hassle needing to call repairman.
Mine is a 7yr old LG washer WM3570HWA with the LE error msg. The hardest part was removing the center bolt. Other than that, everything else was easy.
Great practical videos like this make yourube great and promote this business in Lorain,Ohio and beyond. Saved hundreds! Thank you sir.
Thanks, ordered the part from you. Got it tonight, went on just like you said. You saved me the price of a new washer and washer is working great 👍🏼 👍🏼 Thanks man!
Thank you so much for this wonderful how to do video. It helped me save hundreds . High Quality video and easy instruction . just love it.
Thank you. This fixed my problem. I changed out the wire and sensor, but I believe the sensor was the only part I needed. BIG thanks!
Thank you so much! I had the LE error and it was a simple project to replace the Hall sensor. $8 on Amazon and washer works perfectly now.
Did all the steps in this video and it worked! Washer is running again. Thanks for the help!
Spent $50 on Amazon for the sensor and harness. About 30 minutes to switch out parts, the new harness was a bit shorter. You saved me hundreds by not having to hire a repair man. Thank you for such a clear-cut video!
Link to where I can purchase part?
Your wonderful video just saved this single gal HUNDREDS of dollars! After having a battle royale with a terrible appliance repair company (I know they are not all bad), I ended up fixing it MYSELF! (thanks to your easy to follow, helpful video!) The only thing I will add, is that mine JUST ended up being a bad hall sensor, which I purchased for $17! I also purchased the new stator assembly and motor harness, but will be returning them both since the new hall sensor did the trick, on my old stator assembly! Thanks so very much again! GIRL POWER!!! (with the help of your great video!) And...2 loads of laundry done so far, and working like a charm!
Thanks for posting this. An excellent video, concise and very informative. I just completed the repair and (so far) the washer is happily at work in the basement.
This is not Pieter; it's his wife, Natascha. Yes, I fixed it!!! Thank you, thank you, for an excellent video with clear instructions. The hardest part was cleaning the filthy floor under/behind the washer before getting started :) Don't know if it was the Hall sensor or the wiring harness, but I replaced both, for $47.68. I would add that six years ago, our then 7-year old washer had an LE error, and LG insisted the whole motor needed replacing, for well over $300. And yes, we paid them... Now it happened again. LG wanted $402.50 to fix it this time!!! The schmucks! Take that, LG service, I'm never calling you crooks again. One thing that caused me a bit of trouble, was removing the central 17mm bolt. Jerking with the socket wrench didn't loosen it. So I used a pair of garden clippers, the edge of the curved blade fit nicely into the slots in the motor, and let me brace it with one hand, while using the wrench with the other. Again, many thanks for the video!
I have always had good luck with my LG front loads. When I bought my first set I was dead set on a Samsung set but researched more and found that LG was more reliable. I was wondering if you would ever review a Samsung? Would like to know your thoughts on them. Also have you ever considered using Persil detergent. I use to be big on tide also but feel that Persil works better for me. Keep up the good work on the videos. Very informative
Thank you for this video!!! Ordered a new hall sensor for $10. Tested the continuity on the wire harness and all was good. Replaced the sensor only and the washer is operational again.
Couldn't find the wire harness so I went with just the hall sensor. I did a visual inspection of the harness and didn't see any issues. Doing my test run now. Great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for making these videos,they are really helpful !!!!
Thanks!! Just tried this and it totally worked - it was the hall sensor (rotator position sensor) - a whopping $12 on Amazon (part# 6501KW2002A). I looked at the cable harness and it looked fine so I just ordered the sensor.
Thank you! I replaced just the Hall sensor, and that fixed the LE error for me. The cable looked perfectly fine to me.
Thank you very very much! Our local repair guy charged $100 to tell me the motor was burned out and we needed a new washer. Your video made it very clear how to disassemble. I ordered a new hall effect sensor and wiring harness (thanks Amazon!), installed them, and my washer works like new again!
The hall sensor part number is on the hall sensor. The wiring harness part number was on a green tag and ends with 2061005. That was enough to choose between the two LG harnesses I found on Amazon.
Thank you!
Thanks for the info about where to find the part numbers.
Thanks Ernie... the drive to your shop took me longer then the repair!
My LG wm2233cu threw an LE code and the drum wouldn't spin. Followed these instructions to a T to replace the sensor, made the job so much easier!
Thanks again for this, had no idea it was so easy to work on. Mine was simply a bad Hall effect switch. Thanks to another video I found that that the encapsulation is very poor. It pulled right out. I had bad resistance on one of the pins, replaced the old 681 SMTs with a pair of nice big 680 ohm thru. I suspect it will last years more compared to those tiny 681 SMT resistors. Thanks again!
Thank you for the advice! It worked! The Sensor was the problem. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you very much. The fix worked for me. Super easy to follow. Used your links to order the parts. 👍👍👍
This video saved me at least 400 bucks. I replaced the sensor clearing the code and my wife is back washing, haha.
Thanks very much.
I just installed the new sensor and it’s back in business. Thank you so much for the great video in how to install the sensor. 👊🏼👍🏼
Thanks sir, you saved me alot of headache.
It cost me $80, plus about 1 hr of work, and it's running again. Now to start making a dent in my pile of laundry..
Thanks a lot for this video! Just followed this exactly, and our washer started working again. I was able to order the harness and sensor on amazon.
I want to thank you for your instructions, we saved hundreds on a repair service as I ordered the Hall sensor and wiring harness and only spent $50 with shipping & I actually did the work myself and it works, again great job!
Hi Carl, where did you get the parts? Do you have the part number for the wire harness and r hull sensor?
Can you please list the part numbers for the hull sensor and wire harness and any links where they can be purchased?
Thank you so much and explaining and showing how to correctly repair my washer. The motor harness was the problem. Thanks again. You are my hero!!
From what I understand the hall sensor is the same for both front and top loading machines? Is this also true for the harness?
Thank you Thank you. Purchased the sensor from Ebay ($9.99) followed your video to the tee and my washer is working again.
My stator assembly does not have a hall sensor that can be replaced on it do I have to replace the whole stator assembly or is the hall sensor located somewhere else? Model lg wm8100hva.
