LG washing machine hal sensor drum sensor

Got it You’re asking about the Hall Sensor (often written as "Hal sensor") in an LG washing machine drum. Let me explain:

What is a Hall Sensor?

The Hall sensor is an electronic component mounted on the motor of your LG washing machine.

It detects the rotation speed and position of the motor’s rotor using magnetic fields.

This information is sent to the control board (PCB), which adjusts the motor speed, direction, and torque during wash and spin cycles.

Function in LG Washing Machine

Monitors drum speed (RPM).

Ensures smooth acceleration and braking of the drum.

Helps maintain proper load balance during spin.

Provides feedback for inverter control (especially in Direct Drive motors).

Symptoms of a Faulty Hall Sensor

If the drum sensor (Hall sensor) is bad, you might see:

Washer drum not spinning or spinning erratically.

Intermittent or no rotation during wash/spin cycles.

Error codes like LE, E3, or 0E on LG machines.

Drum starts then stops suddenly.

Testing the Hall Sensor

1. Locate it: It’s usually clipped or screwed to the motor stator at the back of the washer.

2. Check continuity with a multimeter (resistance across pins – usually 8–12 kΩ, varies by model).

3. If open circuit or shorted, replace it.

Replacement

LG sells Hall Sensors as a separate part (sometimes bundled with the stator assembly).

It’s a relatively inexpensive component compared to replacing the entire motor.

Common LG Hall sensor part numbers: 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2002A, etc. (depends on model).

Do you want me to give you a step-by-step replacement guide with wiring check, or just a general description/specifications of the Hall sensor for LG drum?
