So far so good. Washer drum stopped turning properly and would make a "hot" smell coming from the drum motor. I took the rotor assembly off and noticed all the plastic splines were stripped, so I ordered the rotor assembly and replaced it. After turning the machine back on, the drum still had a hard time turning over and would still smell hot. On top of that it made this horrible Growling sound when it would turn. It sounded mechanical, but after checking the bearing and realizing that turning the machine by hand allowed for smooth rotation and there was no play in the bearing I found a thread online describing the same thing and it pointed to the hall sensor. I pulled ours off and it failed the ohm meter test (10-20k between 1 and 5 and 2 and 5) I never got the LE error, or any other error, maybe because I never let it run long enough. I replaced this sensor and had it all back together in about 15 minutes. Washer runs perfect again. Shipping was fast, looks OEM and a cheap fix for apparently a common problem.
