LG F/L Washer Model#WM2077CW

[Adirondack Bob]

Hi All, Am working on a LG Front Load Washer Model#WM2077CW with an LE Error Code. Unit was plugged into a GFI outlet and it keeps tripping that. I plugged it into a regular outlet and I hear a grinding noise coming from motor. Maybe a slight burning smell also. Because of the installation, I could not get behind the washer. Her husband will pull washer out tonight and I will be back tomorrow morning. Service Manual says LE could be Hall Sensor. Because of the grinding I am wondering what to look for when I return. Thank You Very Much, Bob

It's undoubtedly the hall sensor (aka., rotor position sensor). Go back out with one on your truck and get that bad boy fixed ==> http://www.repaircli...KW2002A/1268238
