Thank you for making it easy to replace the sensor! I always watch your channel when I need to fix my appliances. Thank you!
You are very welcome! Glad we have been able to help you with your repairs!
Just replaced the cracked stator and sensor on my Cabrio. Thank you for the video. It saved me money on the repair.
Happy to help you save money by DIYing your repair! :)
Awesome Video, Thanks for showing how easy this is. Part is replaced, and the washer works great again.
This fixed my “UL” or Unbalanced Load issue on my Maytag Bravo. Thank you!
Great video tutorial. Helped me install new part like a breeze. All fixed
Glad the video helped you out!
This video was extremely helpful! I had a F51 code on my machine. FIRST took the tub out to see if there was a sock or other obstruction, then i ordered a new sensor. Working alone... the project took me under an hour (total cost =$35)
Awesome Video. Thank you so much. Replaced it following your great video and washer is working perfectly again. Many Thanks
I just did this exact repair and the video was PERFECT. It gave me exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Glad the video helped you get the washer fixed!
Just replaced the rotor position sensor. Would not spin right away. Had to clear codes, by holding down soil button for 3 second, releasing for 3 seconds, holding for 3 seconds, releasing for 3 seconds, and then holding again. Washer started working right away.
replaced the RPS. still getting F-54 error code. If the motor stater is cracked, would this prevent the new RPS from working properly?
It helped, thanks!
Excellent
Just replaced this part. Followed the video, and it was very easy. One thing I did find was the large nut on the driveshaft had completely come off. Not sure if this was the problem but changed the part anyway.
Glad we could help you with the repair!
I've noticed Whirlpool washer WTW4816FW2 when on a full load of water and laundry can become sitted on the floor or scape the floor if it's legs aren't adjusted. To allow clearance. I noticed this with back panel off while testing after servicing. Note: the legs on this model are only manually adjustable. I've seen similar issues on GEs with similar motors in years passed. Some haveba a pan on the bottom. The pan can become bent and the bottom pulley will strike or even stop turning.
great video. Make some steps seem easy but overall, the methods and recommendations work great. The seal insertion is the most difficult. They make it seem so easy. It fights back - buy the chunk of PVC in the video if you can. Saved me buying a new washer when the repair guys would not come and fix it - too many issues with call backs.
How do you test the old RPS? I read something about resistance checks between the pins, but I don’t know the values you should read with an ohmmeter. I am reading open circuit between any and all of the pins on the RPS which I think is kind of weird. I thought I would see at least something. So I am going on the assumption that the RPS is bad since I am reading open on the pins. Hope I am correct. Any info I’d appreciated.
This reply is too late to help you, but hopefully it will help someone
@@panda315What reply?
Will a loose rotor cause a slow spin?
Not sure why I have no response to my question.
Gonna try again with a different question.
Will a bad rps sensor cause a Cabrio top loader to quit counting down at 17 and just keep spinning?
Help please I pull the Allen bolt all the way it would still work like that?
I keep getting the f51 area code after I put my washer back together after replacing the entire bearing kit with the driveshaft. One of the clips that holds the RPS in place broke off, but would that really be enough to throw the code? The sensor is still attached firmly to the stator, it’s just missing the far left clip. Should I just buy a new one and replace the sensor? Because everything else is put together to a TEE of how these guys describe things, which is done immaculately if I must say.
What is the model number of your washer?
I have a Maytag bravo 300 that's keeps throwing an OL code. changed the tension kit rods, checked the rotor for cracks, any idea on the cause of that??
Without a model number it would be hard to say exactly what part you might need to check. You can look here on our website to help you find the model number: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx You can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/. We offer free troubleshooting and technical advice. We also have a free repair forum where the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem: forum.appliancepartspros.com/.

I have the same model Maytag and after replacing the RPS sensor, it’s still flashing the “F 51” code, any suggestions?
I have a UL error code would this cause that code ? I have replaced the suspension rods still throwing the code...
Hope I have asked this before.
Can a faulty rod or cracked rotor cause one to stop counting down at 17 but keep spinning?
I feel like if that were the case it would stop spinning altogether. That sounds like a control board/timer issue.
Just did this, not the tub doesn’t spin at all?? Is there a reset code I need to do?
I just replaced this sensor on my washer. It is still throwing a SD or 5D code and still won’t spin. I pulled it apart and i don’t see any cracks in the stator. What should I look for?
Did ever figure out what was wrong with it
Will a bad rotor position sensor cause slow spinning or lack of agitation?
Yes, it can but that isn't the only part that could cause those symptoms.
yes that could cause the problem
I replace this part because I accidentally cracked it when replacing the bearings now that I’ve got it all put back together I’m getting error code F 50 anybody experienced this before that maybe has a solution? Thanks
had the error - failed to connect the 3 pin white connector correctly. Really hard to seat it right. Code means the tub is not turning. Only failure mode is bad connection or bad sensor mounting. Verify tub rotates prior to power to verify no binding. Took 5 minutes to drop housing, verify connections were tight and reinstall with locktight.
I did exactly as u say and i still have the same f51 error code what else i can do ?? Any help please.
What is the model number of your washer and we will look into this for you.
Your stater is cracked.
No me soluciona
these direct drive motors are supposed to be so great..... they are nothing but trouble having to replace components, stripped splines on the rotor, cracked plastic parts that are marked up 300% of how much it is to make them
It never comes off that easy..lol
Overtime build up of detergent and debris can make it more difficult to get these parts off, but this video gives you an idea on how to complete the repair. Let us know if you have any questions.
Diagnosing the sensor as the problem would be more helpful. My GE washer says "motor not rotating properly" and will not work. There is no algorithm to diagnose the problem.
What is your model number?
@@appliancepartspros WPGT9350COWW. After spending a lot of time on this, I think it's the inverter, and I've ordered a replacement. It's supposed to put out 12VDC to the rotor position sensor from 2 circuits, but I found 3V from one and 16V from another. So, even though the service diagnostic mode is not faulting the inverter, this voltage was way off, so I'm hoping that replacing the inverter fixes it. The motor looked OK, and the resistance at its terminals were within spec. The rotor sensor didn't look abnormal, but since it wasn't getting specified voltage, I can't say whether it's functioning correctly. Any comments? Thanks
If the board is not sending the correct amount of voltage then that part will need to be replaced.
how cheap are they getting with these washers! looks like cracked junk shame on you FSP!!!!!! charging as much for these machines!
