TOMOON Rotor Position Sensor for LG Washers 6501KW2002A - Direct-Fit PTFE, Fixes LE/E0

The TOMOON 6501KW2002A rotor position sensor is a direct-fit replacement part that monitors your LG washer’s motor rotor speed and direction, helping restore proper spin and resolve LE or E0 locked-rotor errors when compatible.

If your front-load LG washer won’t spin, shows LE or E0 errors, or behaves as if the rotor is locked, the rotor position sensor (RPS) is one of the most common and affordable parts to check and replace. TOMOON’s 6501KW2002A (also referenced as 6501KW2002B in some models) is built to match OEM fit and function: it reports rotor position data to the machine’s control board so the inverter or motor controller can time commutation correctly.

How does this sensor restore washer spinning and stop LE/E0 errors?

The sensor detects the rotor’s magnetic field and converts its movement into electrical signals the control board uses to control motor timing and speed. If signals are missing, erratic, or absent, the board may shut down the motor and display LE or E0. Replacing a faulty sensor typically allows the board to read rotor position again so the washer can start and spin normally.

• Reports rotor speed and direction to the electronic control board.
• Solves locked-rotor (LE) and E0 errors when the sensor is the root cause.
• Direct-fit for many LG front-load models that use part 6501KW2002A/B.
• PTFE plastic construction for stable, heat-resistant performance.

Is installation difficult and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable opening the washer’s lower access panel and unplugging a small connector. Most installs take about 10 minutes and require only a flat-head screwdriver; no soldering or special tools are necessary.

• Remove lower kick panel or access cover on the washer.
• Unplug the sensor connector and remove the retaining screw with a flat screwdriver.
• Swap in the TOMOON sensor and reconnect; test before reassembling the panel.

Which washer models and part numbers is this compatible with?

The 6501KW2002A sensor fits many LG front-load washers and replaces OEM part numbers like AP4440680, 1268238, AH3529186, EA3529186 and PS3529186. Compatibility should be verified by checking the part sticker on your original sensor and your washer model number.

• Common compatible models: WM0532HW, WM1832CW, WM2016CW, WM2301HR, WM2455HG and more.
• Also fits series numbers beginning with 796.x listed on the original sensor sticker.
• Not guaranteed for 2018+ LG washers with integrated inverter boards—confirm original part number.

What troubleshooting or warnings should I know before buying?

Over 30% of “sensor failed” situations are caused by loose connectors or damaged wiring, not the sensor itself. Always inspect the harness and connector, and verify your original part number is 6501KW2002A or 6501KW2002B before ordering.

• Check wiring and connector for breaks or corrosion before replacing the sensor.
• If your washer is a 2018-or-newer model with an integrated inverter board, confirm compatibility first.
• Replacement will not resolve unrelated error codes; it targets rotor-sensor-related faults only.

Who is this for: The TOMOON 6501KW2002A rotor position sensor is aimed at DIY homeowners, appliance technicians, and repair shops who need an economical, OEM-style replacement for LG front-load washers showing locked-rotor behavior or sensor-related errors. If you can access the lower panel of your washer and follow basic electrical safety—turn off power at the breaker and unplug the washer—this part is designed for quick installation and reliable, tested performance. If you’re unsure about fitment, provide your washer’s model and serial number to the seller for verification before purchase.
