What does the rotor position sensor do?

The hall sensor, also known as the rotor position sensor (RPS) is part of the automated system of your washing machine. It helps the control board make sure that everything is running as it should.

Likewise, people ask, how do you test a LG Hall sensor?

Voltage Testing Hall Sensor at Stator

Unplug the power cord.
Remove the rear washer panel.
Locate the Hall sensor connector on the stator behind the rotor.
Place the meter leads on terminals 5 to 4,white to gray.
Plug in the power cord,close the door,and press the power button.
You should measure 10 to 15VDC.

Beside above, what does F 51 mean on a washer? The Cabrio Washer Error F51 happens when the main control board detects a bad RPS (Motor Rotor Position Sensor) or there is a wiring problem in the lower wiring harness. There are some steps below that will show you how to fix f51 error code.

Simply so, what sensors does a washing machine have?

Magnet and Reed Sensor are isolated and have no physical contact by typically having the magnet mounted to the top lid of the washing machine, and the Reed Sensor is mounted on the chassis of the washing machine strategically placed such that the magnetic field of magnet will be sensed when the top is opened and closed
