LG Washer; Dishwasher Repair – North Canton, OH (WM3050CW,)

An LG washer in North Canton was starting then displaying an error code and shutting off. After diagnosis, we found the rotor position sensor had failed and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their washing machine starts then an error code appears and it shuts off. They also had a Maytag dishwasher that shut off after last cycle and won’t turn back on.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the LG washer’s rotor position sensor was malfunctioning, causing the error code and shutdown sequence. The dishwasher required a new control board, but the customer chose to replace that unit instead of repair.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 6501KW2002A — rotor position sensor assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the rotor position sensor on the washer
• Result: Washer completed full test cycle without error codes

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG washers are generally reliable appliances, and rotor position sensor failures are repairable issues on most models. The WM3050CW is a solid mid-range unit that typically justifies repair when the major components like the motor and drum are still in good condition.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the drum and door seals monthly to prevent buildup that can affect sensor readings
• Use HE detergent only — regular detergent creates excess suds that stress the motor and sensors
• Leave the door slightly open after cycles to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold
