Product review (5 stars): Error code on my LG, try this first before buying a new washing machine!
My LG washing machine is 3-4 years old and suddenly it started giving us error codes that the motor didn't work. Naturally the wife thought it's time for a new one... about a $1,000 dollar purchase. Or I could have someone fix our LG for around $300-$500 depending on parts. Well, after looking up my model on youtube, I found lots of good starting points on what to check and how to fix it. I had three choices after watching the videos. Replace main mother board $300, replace motor coils $100 or replace this sensor $20 bucks. Well, I was prepared to loose a $20 dollar investment if the sensor didn't work.... maybe even replace the motor coils to not spend another $1k for a new washer. Well, after 20 minutes replacing this sensor, my LG washing machine is back to washing.

I was later told by my wife that my mother who visits us once a month, likes to use non "HE" soaps on our washer. I don't know if that's what caused our sensor to go out, but from now on, we're using only "HE" soaps, including my mother.
