XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B is an aftermarket replacement rotor position sensor (RPS) compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore direct-drive front-load washers. This 5-pin Hall effect sensor mounts to the motor stator and monitors the speed and rotational direction of the motor rotor, feeding that data back to the control board so it can properly manage spin speed, direction changes during wash/rinse agitation, and load balancing.
When this sensor fails or reads inaccurately, the control board loses the feedback it needs to run the motor correctly, and the washer commonly throws an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code, fails to spin or agitate, or runs unusually long cycles as it struggles to detect motor movement. Built with PBT-GF30 housing and black epoxy potting for durability in the motor compartment. It directly replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, and 3282954. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor fixes LG and Kenmore (LG-built) direct-drive front-load washers throwing an "LE" error code, failing to spin or agitate, or running abnormally long cycles. 5-pin Hall effect sensor, PBT-GF30 housing, black epoxy potting. Replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, 3282954. Classic symptom: washer displays "LE" and stops mid-cycle, or won't spin at all.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Washer displays an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code
- Tub fails to spin or agitate during the wash cycle
- Washer struggles to detect load movement, resulting in abnormally long cycle times
- Motor runs erratically or stalls mid-cycle
- Washer stops partway through a cycle without completing
- Inconsistent or failed direction changes during agitation
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This rotor position sensor is compatible with select LG-built direct-drive front-load washers, including:
- LG front-load washers (including WM1814CW, WM2010CW, WM2016CW, WM3455HW)
- Kenmore front-load washers (select LG-built models, including WD-3243RHD, WD-3245RHD, WD-3274RHD)
Important: Do not confuse this with 6501KW2002B, which is a different, non-interchangeable rotor position sensor used on other LG washer platforms. Some newer LG models also integrate the Hall sensor directly into the motor stator assembly (such as AJB73816004) rather than using a standalone sensor like this one. Always verify your appliance model number before ordering, and check your parts diagram to confirm whether your model uses a standalone sensor. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an "LE" error code — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of an LE (motor/rotor position) error on LG and LG-built Kenmore washers. If your washer displays LE and stops mid-cycle or won't spin, this sensor is a likely culprit. That said, LE errors can also stem from the control board or a damaged wiring harness between the sensor and the board, so if replacing the sensor doesn't resolve the error, those components are the next things to inspect.
Is this the same as the 6501KW2002B sensor?
No — 6501KW2001B and 6501KW2002B are different, non-interchangeable rotor position sensors used on different LG washer platforms. Confirm your exact part number from your appliance's parts diagram before ordering, since these two are easy to mix up by their similar naming.
My LG washer's parts diagram doesn't show a separate rotor position sensor — why?
Some newer LG models integrate the Hall sensor directly into the motor stator assembly (such as part AJB73816004) rather than using a standalone sensor like this one. If your model doesn't list a standalone sensor, check whether your repair requires the full stator assembly instead. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which one applies to your washer.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No special tools — a nut driver or screwdriver to access the rear panel and remove the sensor's mounting screw(s), plus needle-nose pliers to help with the wiring connector. The main thing to get right is reinstalling the new sensor at the same position and orientation relative to the rotor as the original.
