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.

Questions & Answers

For Lg Rotor Position Sensor (Part Number: OEM17920215)

1 Answer

Hello Leon, The harness is 6877ER3003B and unfortunately, the RPS is not available individually. As per the manufacturer, you will have to order the motor stator winding 4417EA1002Y to obtain it. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Mary, Inside your unit there is a tech sheet that you should get out and do the tests that are for the LE error code. This could be an issue with the rotor, the stator or the RPS sensor.

Hello Brett, the part number (160Y2AL, next line 170218, next line PN M1A, is the part number for the motor stator (AJB73816004) AJB73816004, there is no hall sensor listed or used on your model washer according to the manufacturer. Some front load washer designs use a rotor position (Hall) sensor attached to the motor, others use stator coil feedback to the control board to accomplish the same thing.

Louise, According to the manufacturer, this sensor assembly will not work for your unit and you will need to get the stator AJB73816004 for the washer in order to get the hall sensor.

Scott P. for Model Number LG WM3270CW

We started receiving random LE codes on our washer. I removed the rotor and stator with a new position sensor in hand hoping to fix it. Our washer doesn't even have a rotor position sensor. Which means it may be sensing the load through a vibration sensor mounted on the unit somewhere. This machine is only 2 years old and we don't have any kids so we do about 4 loads a week. I'm thinking that maybe the strut that goes between the body of the machine and the tub may be allowing for too much play and setting the code.

Hello Scott, Your unit does have a hall sensor, (RPS), but it is a part of the motor assembly AJB73816004. This or the wiring to the motor will normally correct the issue. In some cases, the main board EBR79950228 which reads the information from the RPS will be at fault.

Chuck, The main control board will tell the drain pump to run. The part number for the board is WPW10583051 but also check to make sure that the pressure hose where it attaches to the tub is not clogged up. There would be no timing chart for this unit but there should be a tech sheet inside the unit.
