Description

This speed sensor monitors drum/motor rotation and helps the appliance detect and regulate spin speed for proper cycle operation. Replacing a worn sensor restores accurate speed feedback for reliable performance. What it does

• Detects rotation speed and sends a signal to the control board so the machine can manage cycle timing and motor control
• Commonly replaces a failed sensor that causes intermittent or no spin, stalled cycles, or incorrect cycle behavior
• Helps resolve speed-related faults or inconsistent operation tied to sensor feedback
• Interfaces with the motor/drive assembly via a wiring harness — no separate calibration on most models

What's included

• One speed sensor

Install notes

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the access panel or cabinet; avoid sharp sheet-metal edges and keep track of fasteners
• Unplug the sensor wiring harness before removing the old sensor; install the new sensor in the same orientation and secure all fasteners
