Field evidence

The Diagram Showed a Hall Sensor, but the /01 Washer Was Built Without One

The motor had already been replaced and LE remained. No Hall harness could be found because this suffix used a sensorless drive arrangement; another suffix of the model family used the additional sensor.

How the washer can estimate rotor behavior without a Hall sensor

An inverter directly controls the motor phases and can infer position and load from electrical response and current. A separate Hall sensor can provide additional feedback, but it is not present on every revision.

A similar symptom can have a different cause on another LG washer. A model with a Hall sensor still needs its sensor and harness tested; a sensorless version does not.

The sensorless direct-drive motor version that lacked the Hall sensor and harness found on the earlier revision.

Why the complete suffix matters more than a generic diagram

The source compared /00 and /01 versions: one included the sensor and the other did not. Service diagrams may depict the most complete configuration. Before calling wiring “missing,” the actual parts list and suffix-specific instructions must agree.

What the failed motor replacement ruled out

LE still required a drive-system diagnosis

New motor, same LE

The replacement did not prove that control and phase wiring could drive it.

Motor harness

Continuity, connector tension and load behavior remain relevant even without a Hall branch.

Inverter control

The board became a logical next branch after suffix and wiring checks, but no replacement result was reported.

What the page does not conclude

The discussion confirmed the sensorless architecture and that motor wiring had been checked. It did not report an inverter repair. This page prevents a search for a nonexistent Hall sensor; it does not turn every LE on a /01 variant into a board order.

High-voltage and moving-part safety: do not run the motor with panels removed or probe an energized inverter. Stored charge and rapid basket movement are hazardous. Drive-system testing requires qualified service.
