This is very impressive that you simply started taking the unit apart and diagnosing things as you encountered them. The rotor appeared to be bad so I think you did good by replacing both parts. Very good video and I think you should do more do it yourself videos for women but men can benefit too you just don't see many how to video's for appliances done by women for some reason.

@@mainlypilates463 Hi Carol, shortly after the LE error, my mains circuit breaker tripped! that's when I found your video, we have identical machines. When I found the blown fuse in the control panel, and it remained dead after bridging it, I was looking at something catastrophic! LG wouldn't supply any parts, and it took many hours to track down the exact replacement, so many variations! a bit of a downer when I plugged it in and still dead! I applied mains to it's input, and the red led lit up on the pcb, so all looked good. that's when I opened the noise filter case, and found the open circuited resistor, inside an asbestos sleeve, the colour bands were burnt off but appeared to about 100 ohms 1watt, i found a 75 ohms, 5 watt to replace it. The chimes when I plugged it in was music to my ears! I bought it in 2009, and this was the first time I'd taken the back off, and watching your video gave me the confidence to get stuck in! you're a legend!💖

Well done indeed. I'm in the middle of waiting for parts. I was debating the gears/sensor thing but I saw one repairman say most of the time it is the sensor. I'm starting with that.

I unfortunately am not as lucky as you with the one my client gave me.

@@mainlypilates463 well, so far there are about 30 resistors that are open circuit, a few that have been turned into wires. The transformer no longer produces a magnetic field because the coils are shorted. My hypothesis is that it has been consistently overloaded with clothes in its 14 year life span causing the hall effect sensor to tell the control board the rpms are too low making the board try to compensate by giving the motor more power, power that it cannot safely supply. It was just a matter of time. At this point now i will only work on it when i have nothing else to do. Replacement board is $240 b4 tx and ship. Its worth it but, i dont have running water LOL.
