Description

This encoder is the motor speed sensor used on many front-load and top-load washing machines to monitor drum/motor rotation and help control cycle speed and direction. Replacing a faulty encoder restores accurate speed feedback for reliable operation. What it does

• Detects motor/drum rotation and sends speed signals to the washer control board
• Helps the control board regulate spin and agitation speeds
• Commonly associated with symptoms like no spin, no agitation, erratic cycle behavior, or drive-related error codes
• Works as part of the drive/motor control system; proper alignment and secure connection are required for correct readings

What's included One washer encoder assembly (single unit) Install notes

• Disconnect power before accessing the washer motor or control wiring to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the encoder and wiring harness carefully; avoid pulling on wires or bending terminals
• Verify connector seating and secure mounting to ensure accurate sensor readings
• After installation, run a diagnostic or test cycle to confirm normal spin/agitation operation
