LG No Wash Agitation / Tumble

Washer fills with water but does not agitate or tumble; drum does not move during wash.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed direct-drive motor, Defective Hall sensor, Broken rotor, Faulty main PCB motor drive

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the rear panel or motor.

Check for error codes: After a few minutes, see if LE, SE, or CE appears; follow those procedures.
Spin drum by hand: If the drum spins freely and quietly, the motor is not engaging.
Inspect motor assembly: Remove rear panel, check rotor bolt tightness and wiring to stator and Hall sensor.
Replace Hall sensor or stator: If wiring is intact, the Hall sensor is a common failure. If stator windings are burnt, replace the stator assembly.
