4.89 (64)
By: Lg
Part Number: OEM17920215
Manufacturer Part Number: 6501KW2001B

The Rotor Position Sensor is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This sensor monitors the speed and direction that the washing machine tub is spinning. It ensures the tub rotates properly in both clockwise and counterclockwise motions during cycles.

Causes of a bad rotor position sensor can include wear and tear from extended use agitating heavy loads, breakage from impact or moisture damage, or compromised wiring over time.

Symptoms of a bad rotor position sensor include:

  • Tub failing to spin or agitate clothes during cycles
  • Inability to detect spin cycle direction changes
  • Repeated errors messages related to tub operation
  • Long cycle times as the sensor cannot monitor load movement

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Frank for Model Number WM1812CW

After loading the washer and starting a wash cycle, it will lock the front door and (normally) the washer will briefly spin the drum, stop, and the cycle will continue from that point. The problem is that the washer does not start spinning the drum at start-up and there is no activity for a minute or two and then shows an LE code. The drum does not spin on its own at all but it can be turned by hand smoothly with almost no resistance. I believe the problem is the sensor. Am I on the right track?

Answer

Hello Frank, This sounds like the drain pump filter is clogged with debris. Some units have a small access door in the front of the unit to clean the filter out through, and some have to have the entire front panel removed to access it. Either way, by unscrewing the sump access counterclockwise, you can clean this filter and continue with your washing. During this time, if you have the unit unplugged, it will reset the control to clear the fault so the unit can run through its' cycle.
