LG Washing Machine Motor Sensor. Genuine part number 6501KW2001A

Like most other reviewers, my washer spit the dummy out when I dared to wash something which was quite absorbant and it got a little heavy, resulting in the 'LE' error code. It twitched and then made a grinding noise when it span empty. We've had this error before and claimed under the warranty, where LG replaced the whole stator assembly (the round bit with copper coils).Not really sure how a stator could fail in this way, as it is literally just a load of coils which generate a magnetic field. But my partner noticed the sensor and thought what if that part had blown? Dealing with LG was awkward as well, they expect £120 to come out then reimburse you if it is the motor.We bought this part which arrived the next day. It was easy to replace (or so my partner says) and reassemble. Lo and behold, we have a working washing machine! This little part saved us a few hundred quid on a new washing machine and I'm back to doing what I hate the most, laundry!It'll probably go again, so I have bought a couple of spares.

Yes done the job and easy to put in

My LG F1403FD direct drive washing machine had a fault where the drum would not turn. This Hall effect sensor was all that was needed to fix the problem. Easy to fit, fixed and no problems.At this point I put in a link to a you tube video with a useful guide for this repair, but amazon in their wisdom would not allow this level of help. So you could search for... "LG Washer Not Spinning So Easy a Monkey Can Fix It". Hth.

Arrived intact, working fine just super overpriced

LG Washer Drier with LE error - drum wouldn't spin, just twitched and stopped. It's worked fine for nearly 7 years and I thought we might have to throw it out.Paid £13 for this sensor, and with nothing more than a few minutes and a basic socket set and screwdriver it was swapped over very easily and now my machine is back working again doing its first load in days.I've written this and attached pictures mainly hoping it can save someone else's machine too.Process I followed:Unplugged power whilst on (but not running). This is to discharge the capacitors. Tried turning back on whilst unplugged for same reason.Removed rear cover (4 Philips screws).Hardest part: used 17mm socket on a normal 1/2inch ratchet to undo the shaft bolt. This was very tight and held in with thread lock. Turning the bolt also turns the shaft. I'd recommend spinning this first to make sure you know the drum isn't otherwise damaged, mine spun free with the machine unplugged. You could either have a friend hold the drum while you undo it, or what I did was to hammer a breaker bar gently to shock the bolt loose before the drum span.Once the centre bolt is undone, pull the rotor away towards you. Try not to snag or catch the motor windings. Set this part aside.Undo 6x 10mm bolts and carefully remove the motor, taking care again to not touch or damage the motor windings or pull on the connectors.This sensor is just clipped onto the back of this assembly and plugged in with one connector that comes out once you push down the lug. I used a knife to gently free the clips and remove the sensor.Reinstall carefully in reverse. I don't believe there's any need to over torque the motor bolts, but the centre shaft bolt needs to be secure.I ran the machine with the cover off on a 400 spin only to see how it works. All seemed fine so put the cover on, slid the machine back and put on a slightly lighter than normal load.All seems to work fine now! Take care to not overload the machine 😇

worked saved me from buying an entire stator assembly.

This really worked and saved me the cost of a new washing machine.

As has been mentioned by others, this literally saved me buying a new washing machine.Check YouTube for videos on how to fit, took me about about 15 mins.
