Drive motor / speed sensor failure

Main control board; hall/speed sensor built into drive motor (WH03X29524)

36 months

$200

Bought from Costco about 3 years ago. Main board failed (showed as door lock fault), then speed sensor died. Hall/speed sensor is built into the drive motor (~$200 part), so a small sensor fault becomes a motor replacement. Machine fills and drains but will not spin (error code 3). Out of Costco and manufacturer warranty. Would not recommend a GE front loader.
