LG Washer WM2277HW - LE Error

[Blaiser]

Well I got into the machine tonight at the shop. Had dinner and was thinking about it after my last mouthful of Shrimp Scampi. Opened the back of the machine up. Tried to start a load at it was locked up. Fiddled around with the wiring of the stator and Hall Sensor and guess what?  Machine started up and ran through 2 cycles perfectly. Looks like the bad wire was in the wire harness. Now I have to start wiggling some wires around and get my trusty meter out to find what wire is causing my issue. (I'm kind of looking at the Blue wire) Let you know shortly!

After repairing the wire (if found)---install a new zip tie (nylon tie) at the base of the washer---but allow *some* slack.

My theory is that---once in a while---a factory assembly line worker over-tightens this zip-tie---leaving the harness too taut.
Over time one of the wires becomes pulled-apart internally---yet the wiring insulation appears undamaged.

Though not a common fault/problem---the few that I've seen---ended up being the *red* wire (broken apart).

John,


It turned out to be a bad wiring harness going to the hall sensor. Don't know if it was a ty wrap tightened too tight or cut in wire. But turned out I replaced harness and all is good.


Thank You!
