6501KW2001B - Genuine OEM LG Washer Rotor Position Sensor

6501KW2001B – Genuine OEM LG Washer Rotor Position Sensor

The 6501KW2001B Genuine OEM LG Washer Rotor Position Sensor is an original factory replacement component designed for LG washing machines and certain compatible Kenmore models manufactured by LG. This sensor, often referred to as a hall sensor or RPS (Rotor Position Sensor), monitors the speed and direction of the washer motor rotor, ensuring the drum rotates correctly during wash and spin cycles.

Available from Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, AB, this genuine OEM LG washer sensor ships quickly across Canada to homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians. Replacing a faulty rotor position sensor is a common repair that restores proper motor communication and resolves spin or rotation problems in LG washers.

What the Rotor Position Sensor Does

The rotor position sensor is mounted near the washer’s direct-drive motor stator assembly. Its primary role is to monitor the rotational position, speed, and direction of the washer drum motor during operation.

The sensor sends real-time feedback to the washer’s electronic control board. This information allows the washer to:

• Control drum rotation accurately

• Maintain proper wash agitation patterns

• Balance loads during spin cycles

• Protect the motor from overload conditions

Using a Genuine OEM LG sensor ensures proper signal accuracy and communication with the washer’s control system. Aftermarket sensors may not always deliver the precise readings required for smooth motor operation.

When this sensor fails, the washer may struggle to detect motor movement, causing cycle interruptions or spin failures.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Rotor Position Sensor

A failing 6501KW2001B washer rotor position sensor can cause several noticeable issues during operation. Replacing this component may resolve problems such as:

• Washer not spinning or agitating properly

• Drum failing to rotate during the cycle

• Washer stopping mid-cycle

• Washer attempting to start but failing to turn the drum

• Error codes related to motor operation (such as common LG motor errors)

• Irregular or jerky drum movement

Because this sensor directly controls motor feedback, replacing it often restores normal washing and spinning behaviour.

Compatibility Guidance

The 6501KW2001B rotor position sensor is designed for LG washing machines and certain LG-manufactured Kenmore washers.
