Customer Questions and Answers for Rps Module (Rotor Position Sensor) by Ge

This rotor position sensor (RPS) module monitors the washer's drive motor position and speed and reports it to the control. Replacing a failing sensor helps restore smooth agitation and dependable spin, reducing stalls and early cycle stops.

• Detects the motor rotor's position/speed so the control can start, reverse, and ramp the motor correctly
• Typical symptoms include no spin or agitation, motor starts then stops, or the cycle ends early
• Causes intermittent/erratic motor movement; lid locks but the tub doesn't move
• Use when diagnostics indicate an RPS/speed-sensor or motor feedback fault

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Access the motor area; photograph wiring before disconnecting
• Align the sensor correctly and fully seat the harness connector—do not force pins
• Run applicable diagnostics/calibration after installation to ensure proper spin and agitation
