📦 Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10178988 Rotor Position Sensor is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for top-load washing machines. Also known as an RPS sensor, it detects the rotor’s position and speed, allowing the washer’s control board to regulate motor direction, spin speed, and agitation cycles. If your washer is experiencing no spin, error codes, or erratic motor behavior, this sensor may be the culprit.
This part replaces older part numbers W10178988 and W10137685, and is compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore top-load washers. Installation typically requires removing the stator and securing the new sensor with a few screws—always disconnect power before servicing.
