Hi all,
Thought I’d give a little insight as the problem appears to now have been resolved…

As the machine was still under parts warrantee LG would not give us the parts directly, we had to go through an approved service specialist, which is fair enough I guess.

As had been deciphered on here, it appears to have been the motor stator which was replaced and all seems to be running smoothly now (fingers crossed).

This has now given way to another leaking issue rather irritatingly. But at least the drum is turning now..

Thanks for that info helo_75, thats the best price I’ve seen for that part so far!

Helo_75,
Thanks for that info. Yes it was a scraping, rough sound and I believe the machine jolted a bit on its feet when this first occurred?!

I have made some enquiries today with regards to purchase of the Hall Sensor only, which I have now removed. But it looks like the whole stator needs to be purchased as the hall sensor cannot be purchased on its own. Given your advice perhaps its worthwhile then just to replace the entire stator unit complete with new hall sensor and pray this fixes the problem!

Thanks Penguin45. So either way a pretty bad situation to be in really, so disappointed this has happened but I guess they can’t last forever.

Just to confirm, the power board I assume is termed the “control module” on spares sites?
