The magnetic door plunger attaches to the inner door panel of the washer. It holds the door open when the washer is not running, and allows the door and tub seal to dry. This prevents mold and mildew from building up. If you're getting water collected in the door, and the front drain it could be caused by this part.
Yes
SOURCE: What is sensor magnet in LG 6.5 kg washing
The machine has a small magnet on the front of the lid. There is a sensor (Hall Effect probably) in the electronics block that senses if the magnet is there (lid closed) or not there (lid open). They aren't that well attached and seem to fall off and wind up in the wash, which means they get lost when the washing is being hung out.
The machine will not start without the lid closed you get a dE error code which means the lid is not shut. You can trick it temporarily by putting a small round magnet inside the front housing if you don't have a proper replacement, as the real one needs to be quite strong. Not sure what they cost, my husband just did the 'trick' to our daughters machine, but a small button magnet wasn't strong enough to trip the sensor from the lid position, he had to stick it right next to the sensor.
Shouldn't be that dear, you can buy blocks of very powerful neodymium magnets in varying sizes for under ten dollars.

There sure should be....why, because mine stopped working as well. Found magnet inside machine after getting rid of water on spin cycle (thankfully it still allows the water drain to occur). Put magnet back on and hey presto, all good.....if only I had taped it on as 5-6 washes later and it has fallen off and I can't find it - hopefully a standard magnet will be enough to fix from shops - I am sure LG or proper repair place sells them for a fortune :(

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Sorry but this forum does not supply parts, part numbers, costs or other details direct; it's just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home, with experience of addressing problems and giving guidance for free on the web ;-0)
Spares Suppliers
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer spares' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can order. Alternately you could try telephone directories for spares suppliers but I would think the former would be more successful.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
John C.
