Re: LG wm1480fhg LE fault motor!

hi,

its normally the hall effect sensor on the motor that causes this fault, it is part of the motor assy, but on that note i have at one time been caught out and it turned out to be the PCB 😳
good luck.

Bob.

Thinking… “what the hell is the hall effect?”

Have a look at this website. It’s a usefull resource for all sorts of electrical principles…

Had a few samsung motors judder and abort, normally the board rather than the motor. I’m assuming its an induction motor on this LG.

Every one I have had with that fault has been the motor.

Just like to say that i have now fitted a new motor and all is fine.took a look at the hall effect sensor on the old motor but could not see any physical fault.
Thanks to everyone that helped.
