LG Washer Repair – Canton, OH (796.41383410)

A Canton, OH customer contacted us about their Kenmore front load washer displaying an LE error code. Our diagnosis revealed a failed hall sensor that needed replacement to restore normal operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their Kenmore front load washer was showing “LE” on the display. This error code typically indicates a motor-related issue that prevents the washer from operating properly.

Diagnosis

Our inspection identified a faulty hall sensor as the root cause of the LE error code. The hall sensor monitors motor rotation and sends feedback to the control board. When this component fails, the washer cannot verify proper motor operation and displays the error code as a safety measure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 6501KW2002B — Hall sensor
• Work performed: Replaced hall sensor
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG-manufactured Kenmore washers from this era are generally well-built appliances. A hall sensor replacement is a straightforward repair that typically provides years of additional service life, making it a cost-effective fix for most homeowners.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the door seal and detergent drawer monthly to prevent buildup that can affect sensor operation
• Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to reduce strain on the motor and sensors
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with LG-recommended washer cleaner or white vinegar
