This is very impressive that you simply started taking the unit apart and diagnosing things as you encountered them. The rotor appeared to be bad so I think you did good by replacing both parts. Very good video and I think you should do more do it yourself videos for women but men can benefit too you just don't see many how to video's for appliances done by women for some reason. Thank you for sharing this!
Working on mine now! Thank you for the great video, no need for a huge repair bill. In the states they charge you for every drive, plus hourly rate and parts. Saving $$$.
That's a bit mad, James as if it's like mine, and in fact, most modern machines, it's all electrical and has got to have a sensor somewhere. I'd be shocked if it hasn't. Sorry, I can't help anymore, other than to say go to the manufacturer and put your serial number in and you can obtain a list of all the spare parts. See if there is one for your model. good luck x
I am a man and I was having such a hard time removing the 17 mm bolt. I gave it a nudge like other videos show but it wasn't moving. Then I saw your video using hammer. It was still difficult but after hammering like 20 times it started becoming loose. Thank you!
Well done to everyone who has been able to fix their own washing machine! We can do it together, eh? I am totally amazed at the popularity of this video. It's mental in my little world! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@@paulwright2906 thanks paul. Take pictures so you know where everything goes, because when you find out what you need and you order the spare parts and a couple of days have gone by it’s very easy to forget what to put back where. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. We sent away for both the parts straightaway. Replaced them both to make sure we got the right part. I am right this moment watching the washer spin without incident, screaming to my wife about what I am owed tonight (wink)
Well done indeed. I'm in the middle of waiting for parts. I was debating the gears/sensor thing but I saw one repairman say most of the time it is the sensor. I'm starting with that.
I ordered online from a UK spares place on line and it arrived the next day. So sorry, but I can't pull up the exact place. Good point though. I should perhaps have included this info in the video.
Amazing! Well done on fixing your own,. It's a great feeling for sure, isn't it? Thank you for letting me know, it means a lot as I'm not a pro, jsut a humble girlie not wanting to be riped off :)
A great hands-on video, from start, to ordering parts, to the successful repair. Girl power rules! I can now attempt to fix my same fault. Thank you for this video!💖
Thanks for your kind words, John. If you are methodical and take pictures so you don't forget where everything is from and how it fits, you will do a great job yourself and save a fortune! Good luck
@@mainlypilates463 Success! your video started me on this journey, hall sensor(no fix)fuse blown in control panel, replaced fuse, pcb dead! a used replacement panel tested ok, but still not fixed. Found oc resistor in noise control module, replaced resistor, working OK!! It took me a while, but I learned a lot, and never give up! Total spend £58 Thank you again💖
@@mainlypilates463 Hi Carol, shortly after the LE error, my mains circuit breaker tripped! that's when I found your video, we have identical machines. When I found the blown fuse in the control panel, and it remained dead after bridging it, I was looking at something catastrophic! LG wouldn't supply any parts, and it took many hours to track down the exact replacement, so many variations! a bit of a downer when I plugged it in and still dead! I applied mains to it's input, and the red led lit up on the pcb, so all looked good. that's when I opened the noise filter case, and found the open circuited resistor, inside an asbestos sleeve, the colour bands were burnt off but appeared to about 100 ohms 1watt, i found a 75 ohms, 5 watt to replace it. The chimes when I plugged it in was music to my ears! I bought it in 2009, and this was the first time I'd taken the back off, and watching your video gave me the confidence to get stuck in! you're a legend!💖
Mine was the hall sensor, fixed yesterday. Think I paid $13 for a sensor. That plate wiggling off and back on was a pain but simple cheap fix. Now, for the microwave. Muhahaaa
Thank you so much, MissyC. I did! I am so pleased I have been able to help so many people. If you wouldn't mind subscribing - that would be fantastic! x
7:17 just fyi, i wouldnt have put the screw driver there. It prob didnt do too much damage but, its going to rest directly on the windings and will damage them. Man, i cringed at that part. I only hope you dont take my comment negatively. I just want you to know. Im very glad tho to see you taking it upon yourself to fix it. You have my admiration. I unfortunately am not as lucky as you with the one my client gave me. The control board is fried and i am currently in the process of removing the silicon encapsulating it in order to fault test the circuits on the board. I hope i can fix it. Anyway i hope your machine is still in running order.
@@mainlypilates463 well, so far there are about 30 resistors that are open circuit, a few that have been turned into wires. The transformer no longer produces a magnetic field because the coils are shorted. My hypothesis is that it has been consistently overloaded with clothes in its 14 year life span causing the hall effect sensor to tell the control board the rpms are too low making the board try to compensate by giving the motor more power, power that it cannot safely supply. It was just a matter of time. At this point now i will only work on it when i have nothing else to do. Replacement board is $240 b4 tx and ship. Its worth it but, i dont have running water LOL.
Yep!!! Thanks, Joe - I'm gutted you didn't hang on my every word - but if you whiz to 2mins 23 seconds, you will hear me say to 'switch it off at the wall, and that isn't good enough, take the plug out' . And you see me actually doing t his too. I want to blow a raspberry and stick my tongue out at you, but I'm more polite than that! LOL x
Oh my word. 33000 people have viewed htis. I am amazed / blown away / impressed! I wish my pilates videos were as succesful! LOL #pilates #mainlypilates x
Hi James. so glad you're giving it a try. The manual told me what the error message was so I changed the cog as it was worn, but the problem wasn't solved so it could only be the sensor or it would have been fine. Be methodical. I only took the video so that I would remember what I'd done and what went where or I'd have looked a right numpty, wouldn't I.? Then I realised how useful it could be for others, so I edited and posted it. I had no idea how many people it would help. Remarkable and so chuffed x
Hello, I also had the LE-Error always after 3min. After the video I ordered the sensor yesterday, arrived today. Changing with the video was very easy. The first time I let the washing machine run with an empty drum. Short program ran perfectly. Then with laundry tested, ran after approx. 20min again in the LE-Error. Now I do not know however any longer. Does anyone else have an idea? What else could I do? Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Hi That is bad luck - but if you see the beginning of the video, I also had to change another part. I've got to say, my machine has been working perfectly, so maybe just check all the connections ware still good. (I now don't use the great big thick fluffy towels any more. It was they that were causing my problem :( . Good luck x
@@mainlypilates463 Here is another question for you. Maybe you have run into this issue with your LG washer? I'am getting very little hot water into washer on hot side. Cold side is normal before i pull hoses off i thought i would ask you is there a filter in both inlet sides hot & cold. Manual shows cold side only with filter in hose where it hooks on to washer. Does not say anything about hot side? I'am thinking hot side has a inline filter also? And it is plugged up with calcium etc? Please let me know if you have run into this issue. Thanks! John
I m getting same error after the washing machine fell down...as i saw the manual its saying motor lock.......So is this error coming because of sensor......or do i have to contact service centre?
After taking it apart and putting it back together it's been working fine. Go figure. Like in your video I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for writing back, Jim
Thank you for this video! You saved me a lot of money. Washing machine is spinning like a dream again with just one part of 24 euro. Never knew I could do this. Had your video on to guide me along the way, including the swearing 🤣. Respect for you, lady. Love from Holland.

That’s awesome jenny! Have all the tools ready, including wd 40 for if nuts are tight. The bigger the spanners and screw drivers, the easier the job. So if you only have silly little household ones, see if you can borrow some proper ones. I’ve been out and bought some since. Also, a magnetic dish helps with not losing anything. Good luck and let me know how you go xx ( my worn lugs were what broke the sensor, so that may be your case too) xx
So sorry, Chiro. All I can say is that I bought it online, and it was NOT amazon. I don't have access to my receipts going back that far. I do recall it was a genuine LG part though. Good luck
