Customer Questions and Answers for Rotor Assembly (Washer, Direct Drive) by Lg

This washer rotor assembly mounts on the direct-drive motor and works with the stator to turn the basket. Replacing a worn rotor restores smooth tumbling and full spin performance when the drum won't turn or makes harsh scraping noises.

• Works with the stator to create the magnetic drive that spins the wash basket
• Helps when the washer won't spin or tumble, or only reaches a weak/erratic spin
• Can reduce grinding/scraping noises from the rear of the tub
• Addresses slippage from worn splines or a damaged magnet ring on the rotor

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Access the rotor at the back of the tub; remove the rear cover if present
• Support the rotor, remove the center bolt, and pull the rotor straight off; magnets are strong
• Align splines, seat the new rotor fully, start the bolt by hand, and tighten to the manufacturer's specification
