LE Error on LG Washer

I am getting a LE error that I have read can be caused by a number of things including a Hall sensor, board, wiring harness or Motor. Everything I read says it is a hall sensor. However mine seems to make noises as it spins and generally only spins one direction before I get the LE code. The noise makes it sould like it could be a bad motor and it seems to want to move but cant. Should I replace the sensor first and hope it works, or replace the whole Stator assembly that comes with a new sensor? The part number I am seeing is AP4438648. What do you advise?

I thought I would mention that I ran through all the advised re-set steps as sugested in other threads. The washing machine wont even fill with water before it gives this code. It also wont run a spin cycle… Thanks!
