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.

Justin for Model Number WM2016CW

i receive the LE error code on my front load, have cleaned the filter (bottom left facing), also the drum rotates both directions by had with no resistance felt. The washer will not go into full spin cycle, I have tried to perform the quick cycle (med speed) only to have the washer sound like it engages but does not rotate right away, as a matter of fact it only rotates counterclockwise and makes a sorta growling noise (not metal on metal but not normal sound) and does not rotate at all clockwise, at min 12 on a 14 min spin cycle it stops beeps and gives me the LE code. It happened with a load of clothes which I had to drain and pull out without having it complete a spin cycle. the "quick spin" was completed with an empty washer. I have also spun the drum clockwise and counter clockwise 4x's each way and unplugged the washer from the wall for 10+ min. Any help or direction with this would be great. Justin

Answer

Hello Justin. The LE code is for LOCKED MOTOR ERROR. Here is some of the things that can cause that code. • The connector (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS is not connected to the connector (3-pin, female, white) of STATOR ASSEMBLY. • The electric contact between the connectors (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS and 4-pin, female, white connector in the MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is bad or unstable. • The MOTOR HARNESS between the STATOR ASSEMBLY and MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is cut (open circuited). • The hall sensor is out of order/defective.
