6501KW2002B LG Washer Rotor Position Sensor – When Your Washer Won't Spin or Throws an LE/FE Error, This Is the Part
A failed rotor position sensor (hall sensor) is one of the most common causes of LG washer LE and FE error codes. When this sensor fails, your washer's control board loses track of drum position and motor speed — resulting in a drum that won't spin, won't agitate, or stops mid-cycle. Part 6501KW2002B is the current OEM replacement for the superseded 6501KW2002A, and is available in both Genuine LG OEM and our Premium XPart aftermarket option.
Is This the Part You Need?
This sensor mounts to the stator assembly on direct-drive LG washers. If your washer is displaying an LE or FE error code, humming but not spinning, or stopping shortly after the cycle begins, this sensor is the most likely culprit. Confirm your model number in the compatible models list below before ordering.
Symptoms of a Failed Rotor Position Sensor
- LE error code on LG washer display
- FE error code on LG washer display
- Washer drum won't spin or agitate
- Washer hums but doesn't move
- Cycle stops shortly after starting
- Washer fills with water but drum stays still
- Intermittent spin failures

Installation Notes
This is an intermediate-level repair. You will need to disconnect power before beginning and remove the rear panel to access the stator and rotor assembly. The sensor clips onto the stator — no soldering required. Torque the rotor bolt to manufacturer specification (do not overtighten). If you are not comfortable working inside the machine, we recommend a qualified appliance technician.

💡 Pro Tip — Replace the Stator While You're In There:
If your rotor position sensor has failed, inspect the stator assembly for burnt windings or heat damage before reassembling. A damaged stator will cause the new sensor to fail prematurely. Replacing both at the same time saves a second labour call — and your customer's patience.
