LG washer-dryer Model FWV696WSE. Vibration sensor location ?

[Licklieder]

I recently took my washing machine apart as the front counter balance weights had come lose (two mounting bolts had unscrewed themselves), broken, and smashed the front half of the tub. I've replace all necessary parts, and it's largely functional again - though possibly with a small water leak that needs further investigation.

The only bit i'm struggling with is where does the vibration sensor go ?

The cable routing sends it to the top front of the washer-dryer; but for the life of me i can't work out where it is supposed to fit, or how. Annoyingly, its just out of view in the photos i took to help me put the unit back together again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Been doing that. all the youtube posts and reddit posts I have found so far are for US LG washers with different mounting points and different tub designs

Thats very strange because I can't even find a UK supplier for that part nor any other info about it's location. All the info I can find seems to suggest it is at the botttom of the machine for example
The vibration sensor in an LG washing machine detects excessive vibration during the wash cycle, and its malfunction can cause issues like the VS error or prevent the machine from spinning. The sensor is typically located at the bottom of the machine, often behind the kickplate or door frame. If the VS error appears, checking for visible damage, loose connections, or foreign objects causing vibrations is recommended. If the sensor is faulty or needs replacement, contacting LG Electronic Service Center may be necessary.

So the only thing I can suggest is you contact the Service Centre or a parts distributor like this company who have LG parts but not that sensor
