What is hall sensor LG washer?

The hall sensor on LG washing machines monitors whether the the motor is turning or not. When the control panel displays an “LE” error code, the hall sensor is telling the panel that the drum is not turning because the motor has failed or the wire harness connecting the hall sensor to the control panel has come loose.

What does a hall sensor do on a washing machine?

The hall sensor, also known as the rotor position sensor (RPS) is part of the automated system of your washing machine. It helps the control board make sure that everything is running as it should. The hall sensor in your washing machine helps monitor motor operation.

How do you test a hall sensor?

In order to test the sensors you need to apply +5V (using power supply or battery) between the red wire which is te “+” hall sensor wire and the black wire which is “-” hall sensor wire and check the voltage between each of the hall signal wires (white wires) to the red wire (with multimeter) – while you rotate the …

What does Le error mean on LG washer?

motor is locked
An LE error code on the washer’s display indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load. Large and heavy sized loads will put a strain on the motor, causing the LE code to occur. Performing a reset on the washer will normally resolve this error with a reduced load size.

Is there a reset button on my LG washer?

How to reset the washing machine: Press POWER to turn the washer off. Unplug the washer from the power outlet or turn the circuit breaker to the unit off. With the power disabled, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.

How does a Hall effect sensor fail?

The Hall sensor is designed to flow 20 milliamps or less. The resistor is located in the signal circuit so it can limit the current flowing through that circuit. If this resistor drops its resistance, the current flow would increase, creating multiple Hall sensor failures.

What happens if Hall sensor fails?

1. Failure of Hall Effect sensors effect directly on the applied voltages to the BLDC motor and degrade the performance of overall motor drive. Development of fault tolerant control systems increases reliability of electric motor drive.
