John February 03, 2020 for Model Number LG Model WM2240CW Could you give me the position sensor part # for this LG model?
Jill B. December 06, 2019 I am getting a 51 code on a Maytag Bravo XL machine. Will this part work? How do you install? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Jill, While it is common for the RPS to fail, it is also common for the harness to develop a poor electrical connection. For a more in-depth diagnosis, we would need to ask you to please post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Jill September 17, 2019 I have a front loading LG washing machine model# WM3170CW and a LE is showing on the display panel. Do I need to replace the rotator position sensor? If so, what is the model number I should purchase?
1 Answer Jill, TO get the RPS sensor on the motor you would need to get the stator assembly AJB73816004. Read More...
Anne August 06, 2019 for Model Number LG WM3370HWA Hello, My LG washer continues to give the LE error code. I believe the rotator position sensor needs replacing. Can you assist me with the part number? My model is WM3370HWA. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Anne, LE is going to indicate a locked motor error. With the power disconnected from the outlet, the connections at the control and the motor will need to be verified that they are properly secure and the wires will need to be inspected for any breaks. If the wires check good, then the rotor AHL72914401 will need to be inspected for any cracks or breaks and replaced if damaged. If the rotor checks good, the stator 4417EA1002Y windings will need to be tested. The terminals on the stator will need to be tested from terminal 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 2 to 3 and each set should read between 5 to 15 ohms. If the stator windings do not read within the tolerance, it will need to be replaced. If all of these items check good, then there is a failure within the main control EBR78534503. Read More...
James June 06, 2019 for Model Number WM2301HR I have a front load LG model WM2301HR. The drum was turning one way, but not the other and had a slight electrical smell. Then it stopped turning at all. After doing some checking it seems that it would be the rotation position sensor as far as the drum turning, but would it being on it's last leg cause the electrical smell? I'm assuming it may have been the motor trying to turn it, but something with the senor not working made the motor have to work even harder or would there be another reason? I get the RPS tomorrow and hope that will fix it, but wanted to ask about the electrical smell.
1 Answer James, it is possible that the RPS switch caused the electrical smell, however it should not have influenced the motor rotating in each direction. You may want to test the resistance of the motor windings for a resistance of 5 to 15 ohms between pins 1, 2, and 3 when tested to each other (i.e. pin 1 to pin 2 should read between 5 to 15 ohms). You may also want to verify that the electrical smell is coming from that section of the washer. Read More...
Rande May 26, 2019 for Model Number WT5070CW Your video show the repair for a front load machine, but mine is a top load so is there another video or instructions available?
1 Answer Rande, The video is for a general idea of the part location and how to replace. The sensor on yours is still at the stator so the rotor will have to be removed. Simply tilt the washer back to gain access to the rotor and the stator. I sent you an email with removal procedure. Read More...
Thomas Silvers January 29, 2019 for Model Number WM3360HVCA Motor smells hot during spin cycle. How can I check out motor. Maybe some volt / amp meter readings?
1 Answer Thomas, Unfortunately we do not have an amp reading for the motor but should be receiving 120 vac to it. Read More...

Leslie November 11, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore elite 5.2 washer 41073.11 We can't seem to remove the 17mm stator bolt - even with someone holding the drum on the front side of the machine. Would shipping bolts help? The machine is 2.5 years old, so I'm thinking the LockTite is the culprit... (trying to replace the rotor position sensor due LE error code).
1 Answer Leslie, it may take an impact wrench to remove the bolt you are talking about. There is loc-tite on the bolt, if you have someway of heating the bolt that may help loosen it. Read More...
