Having trouble with this one. I will replace RPS sensor. Cannot find a part number for the Motor Control Unit. Can someone help with this. Also, could not find anything that restricted the rotation of the tub. It is a thermal overload error on the Motor windings. How to remove error?

I was able to repair. FYI for all those who could not help on this one. I purchased a rotational position sensor. When I turned over the machine for access and old part removal, I noticed that the 24mm nut on the bottom was not tight. In fact, somewhat loose. This nut positions the stator properly to the magnets. The problem was probably just the loose nut.

 I replaced the RPS anyways. Machine functions properly and completes cycles now. Problem solved...for this one anyway.

Good to hear. That happens on all brands. The screw or nut on rotor gets loose.
