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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.

Access the motor compartment, typically by removing the rear panel of the washer. Locate the rotor position sensor mounted to the motor stator near the rotor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, then unplug the sensor's connector from the wiring harness. Remove the mounting screw(s) or clip holding the sensor to the stator and remove the old sensor. Install the new 6501KW2001B sensor in the same position, taking care to seat it at the correct distance\/orientation from the rotor magnets, and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness connector, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins and agitates normally without triggering an LE error code. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eMy washer shows an \"LE\" error code — is this the part I need?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eIs this the same as the 6501KW2002B sensor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eNo — 6501KW2001B and 6501KW2002B are different, non-interchangeable rotor position sensors used on different LG washer platforms.
