Originally, the washer had an LE code. I tightened the bolt in rear that holds rotor in place (4040FR4051C). After that the washer would agitate clockwise and spin just fine, but everytime it tried to agitate counter clockwise it would lock up, the magnets where so strong I coulndn’t even help it turn with my hands. So at this point, I proceeded to change rotor, then stator, with the same result. All the wires looked good except for one ground wire that I repaired. Any Ideas or suggestions?
P.S.—-What is the easiest way to get broke bolt out of tub shaft (4040FR4051C), as I have now successfully broken the bolt off from taking on and off so much I guess.

Hello, the rotation is controlled by the main control board and communicated through the hall sensor. If you did not replace the hall sensor I would replace that as the next step. If you did already replace it, or if when you do replace it and the issue remains then the control board will most likely also need replaced. As far as removing a broken bolt you will need to try and remove it with the proper sized “easy out” type of bolt extractor. Just google “easy out bolt extractor ” and you will see multiple results.
