I had the LE error on my LG 1814 model clothes washer. I had a service man come out, after reading this site and he came in with a screw driver only and said he didn't need to check anything out because he could tell my the symtoms that it was the Hall Sensor and wanted to charge me $368.00 to replace it. I have gotten the parts manual for the washer and there is only one part that cost $16.00 from LG that has the word sensor in it. It is in the back corner on a swivel arm that took me only 2 to 5 minutes to replace. I did this and the washer worked fine for about 5 washes and then I get the same error again. I called up the service company because they told me they honored the service call which I paid $59.00 for, for a month. The owner told me that he should also have told me to replace the stator also.
I am wondering if I replaced the wrong part. It was just a square black switch looking device that one screw held in place. If I didn't, should I really replace the stator also? If so is it something someone who is reasonable profecient can handle?
Help someone PLEASE

LE is a common fault on these machines, Try removing the power from the mains by removing the power plug from the socket for 30mins then try using the washer again, if you still get the same fault code try the above again. It usualy works. You don't need to replace the stator, If it fails again clean the filter and soap draw and try again. Good luck
