No. Actually, the Hall sensor, part number 6501KW2002A, is covered by a 7 year part warranty.
No you do not have to replace the motor when replacing the hall sensor. unless the motor is not reading on the hall sensor. most of the time it just the hall sensor that needs replacement
Hello,
I have an LG frontload model WM2133C. Mfg 2009 (according to a sticker at back on drum)
Started acting up. When drum trying to turn, it would buzz and jerk. Took back panel off. Tried starting a cycle and I hear a buzzing sound and some jerking when motor attempts to engage. Could it be a defective Hall sensor? Did a OHM test, reads 10.
Here is a video to help: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HNsFrXqyGduUoVGa7
Any thoughts? Insight?
Thx for your help.

Hi
Error
code LE indicates that either the motor is not turning or has locked up for
some reason. It can also be due to Hall sensor which monitors direction and
speed of the motor. If the sensor is faulty then also this error appears. Motor
lock can be caused by several things from a loose connector, to a bad motor. To
make sure it's not a locked motor, try turning the drum with your hand. And, if
there is any resistance while turning the drum or the drum doesn't move freely
then the motor is locked and you'll need to get it replaced. If the motor seems
to be fine then you would need to replace the Hall Sensor. To replace the hall
sensor, take the back cover off. Take the big nut off and remove the motor
rotor. Remove the bolts holding the motor windings. Remove the electric plug on
the sensor and unclip it from the motor winding. Hope this
helps...please post back for further assistance.
