Part Number: OEM17955105
Manufacturer Part Number: WH12X23995

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
What's included: 1 rotor position sensor (RPS) module Install notes:
  • 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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Rps Module (Rotor Position Sensor) (Part Number: OEM17955105)

1 Answer

Kathy, this would be a failure in the inverter machine control WH12X26034 or the RPS module WH12X23995. After unplugging the appliance power cord for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in, try a drain and spin cycle. If the failure persists, the RPS module and the wires would need to be visually inspected for any damage. If they are good, replace the inverter machine control.

J.F. for Model Number GFWR2700H0WW

After a power surge, my dryer stopped functioning. I noticed the controller shorted. I replaced the Control board but I noticed the unit only powers up when I disconnect J1001. The board then returns a D3 error code (makes sense!). This J1001 connects to the RPS module WH12X23995. I disassembled the rotor and stator and removed the RPS module. The unit powers up. All cables checked Okay. I don't have a way to know if the module is good or not and before spending another 20$ I wanted your opinion.

Hello J.F., The RPS WH12X23995 is a common failure on these units but you should check the harness first since a bad connection between the RPS and the control will give the same fault code. If no issue is found, replace the RPS.
