Just Shuts Off

SOURCE: Machine won't start, lights are all on and ready to wash

this may be due to heavy load , if there is heavy load then also the machine will not start but the lights will glow

Don't call service, they will rip you off!

Replace the hall sensor located in the back. If that doesn't fix it, then you have a problem with the rotor and stator.

SOURCE: My LG Tromm front loader

The problem appears to be the direct drive motor located at the rear of the machine. It seems that the drive motor draws too much current when the machine is loaded during the spin cycles. Unplug the machine then remove the rear access panel to access the drive motor and remove the bolt securing the rotor to the drive shaft. Remove the rotor then check and make sure the electrical connections on the motor windings and the Hall sensor are snug and tight. Reseat the connections several times to clean off possible corrosion and dirt built up.

Measure the resistance between each two of the motor winding terminals and it should read almost equally at around 5 ohms to 15 ohms. Also measure the resistance between each these terminals with the windings core and the cabinet which should read infinite (open). Any significant discrepancy in the readings compared to the normal values is an indication of a motor windings problem, replace the stator.

Check the motor and Hall sensor connections to the main control board and ensure they are snug fit if the connections right at the motor terminals including the winding resistances are all good. The problem is with the main control board malfunctioning if all else turns out good; wire harnesses, connections, and motor windings. Replacing the main control board is then the only option.
