LP0098A – Universal Supco Washer Rotor Position Sensor

The LP0098A Universal Supco Washer Rotor Position Sensor is a high-quality aftermarket replacement component designed for washing machines, primarily used on Samsung washer models. This sensor mounts directly on the washer motor and detects the rotor position and spin speed, helping the appliance control board monitor motor operation and balance during wash and spin cycles.

Available from Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian supplier of appliance parts based in Edmonton, Alberta, this replacement sensor ships quickly across Canada to homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians. Replacing a faulty rotor position sensor can restore normal washer performance and resolve common motor-related issues.

What the Washer Rotor Position Sensor Does

The rotor position sensor (RPS) is an electronic component that monitors the speed and rotational position of the washer motor. It communicates this data to the washer’s control board so the machine can:

• Control drum rotation accurately

• Detect load balance during cycles

• Adjust motor speed during wash and spin stages

• Maintain safe and efficient motor operation

The LP0098A sensor mounts on the washer motor and provides real-time feedback to the control system. If the sensor fails or sends incorrect signals, the washer may be unable to control motor movement properly.

Because the sensor plays a critical role in motor control, using a high-quality replacement part like the Supco LP0098A helps ensure reliable operation and consistent washing performance.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Rotor Position Sensor

A failed rotor position sensor can cause several washer operation problems. Replacing the LP0098A washer rotor position sensor may resolve issues such as:

• Washer will not start the wash cycle

• Washer drum not spinning or agitating

• Washer stopping during cycles

• Washer not washing clothes properly

• Motor operation errors or cycle interruptions

Since the sensor monitors motor movement and load balance, failures often prevent the control board from running the washer correctly.

Compatibility Guidance

The LP0098A rotor position sensor is designed for washing machines, particularly Samsung washer models.

Before ordering, always verify your washer’s model number to confirm compatibility with this component. Model numbers are typically located on the washer’s door frame, rear panel, or inside the lid.

If you are unsure whether this sensor fits your appliance, Appliance Kingdom can assist in confirming compatibility before purchase.
