Getting LE code on LG washer WM-2277HW.

Replaced Rotor Position Sensor...TWICE! Still getting LE code. There is a smaller white plastic sensor that goes on the stator assembly right next to the RPS. Does anyone know what that is called? I've looked everywhere and even called a few places and they see what I'm looking at on the diagram, but still don't know what it is. Is it possible this piece only comes with the Stator Assembly and I'm going to have to replace the entire thing?

SOURCE: LG washer wm1832c

I had the same error code along with the drum "freezing" up. The first unit that was delivered 2 years ago leaked water from the detergent compartment and they sent a second unit. I have only had this unit for 2 years and I am very disappointed in the LG product. LG was no help on the phone and I the only people that could service it were 45min away from were I live. I took the advice of a posting on this website that it could be a part called the sensor assembly (#6501KW2002A) and ordered it from an online electronics store (www.mcminone.com). To get to the sensor assembly, you first unplug and take off the back plate that has 4 small screws. Next, unscrew the big bolt in the middle and take off the hubcap looking part the bolt was securing. Next unclip the two sets of wires on the bottom of the circle you are looking at (the set of wires to the right are connected to the sensor assembly you want to replace). Next you will unscrew the 6 or so smaller bolts to take off the circular piece that the sensor assembly is snapped to. Take it off, unclip the old sensor assembly and clip on the new one – and reassemble. This worked perfectly for me and the part only cost $18 bucks plus shipping. When working, this product works well but I will not be purchasing any LG products in the future.

SOURCE: le error code

LE is a locked rotor code, but usually means the sensor is not functioning. replace Hall sensor, if that doesn't fix it make surer the drum turns freely. the rotor never goes bad, and the stator almost never goes bad. replace board if sensor doesn't fix it.

How to locate a ball sensor in my lg washer

The Ball Sensor has nothing to do with a "LE" error.
A faulty Hall Effect Sensor or faulty Stator or faulty Main PCB are
suspects..You must remove the Rotor and then the Stator to get to
the Hall Sensor..

LE indicator light coming on

LE means there is a problem with the motor, must likely he motor hull sensor. The hull sensor will need to be replaced. Part number 6501KW2002A. It is attached to the motor stator. There is a access panel in the rear of the machine to service the motor. Remove the rotor and stator, replace the sensor, and you should be good to go.

Drum wont rotate

Code LE is a locked motor Error and it is caused by:

• The connector (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR
HARNESS is not connected to the connector
(3-pin, female, white) of STATOR ASSEMBLY.
• The electric contact between the connectors
(3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS
and 4-pin, female, white connector in the MAIN PWB
ASSEMBLY is bad or unstable.
• The MOTOR HARNESS between the STATOR
ASSEMBLY and MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is cut (open
circuited).
• The hall sensor is out of order/defective.

If you need a service manual for that you can find on Here.

Turn washer on, set the different modes, hit the go button, water starts to go in, then drum tries to turn but stops. after a few seconds, I get a LE code on the display. any suggestions???

The LE code could be a few things, you may need to unplug the unit, and remove the back panel (four phillip screws). Check the rotor, the big metal wheel on the back of the drum. There are two plugs toward the bottom of the rotor, check to make sure these are connected, and firm in place. Also, there is a wire harness directly left of the rotor, it leads to the bottom of the washer. There are a couple of connections, in closed in a plastic bag, twisty-tied together. Make sure those are connected. If all those connections are in place, and its still giving you the LE error code, it may very be your Stator, or your Hall sensor (RPM sensor). The Stator sits behind the rotor. The hall sensor, is attached to opposite side of the stator. The stator should read between, 5 ohm's and 15 ohm's.

Replaced sensor on motor and ran find empty put cloths in washer runs for a bit then le code comes up help

LE means a locked motor error. sounds like you already replaced the hall sensor so the next thing to look at is the Stator Assembly it may have an open circuit.
