Description
About This Part
The rotor position sensor reads the drive motor’s position so the control board can run the drum smoothly. When it fails the motor stutters, hums without turning, or the washer stops with a motor error. A new sensor restores normal drive.
Many owners fit this themselves; if you’d rather not, any local repairer can fit the part you supply.
