Manufacturer Part Number: 4681EL1008A

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.

Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:

  • The dryer drum fails to turn, even though the dryer powers on.
  • Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
  • The dryer stops unexpectedly during cycles or won't start at all.
  • Decreased drying efficiency or clothes taking longer to dry due to inconsistent drum speed.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

Greg for Model Number LG model DLG8388WM

Recently replaced the front drum rollers and vacuumed the entire inside cabinet. Upon reassembling the dryer and drying a load of clothes I paused the dryer to redistribute the clothes but when I pressed the pause button to restart the dryer it would only make a humming noise. I had to wait an hour before the dryer would restart. The same problem now occurs every time I pause and restart the dryer. The unit is approx. 8 yrs old. The drum spins freely by hand. Motor?

Answer

Greg, with the power disconnected, you may want to check the motor windings. With the centrifugal switch in the normal state, you should read between 2-3 ohms from terminal 4 to 5. Then with the centrifugal switch engaged, terminal 4 to 5 should read between 3-5 ohms. If these readings are not measured within tolerance, then you have a bad motor [4681EL1008A].
