Customer Questions and Answers for Stator Assembly (Washer Drive Motor) by Lg

The stator assembly is the stationary coil pack for the direct-drive motor in your washer. Working with the rotor, it creates the magnetic field that turns the tub and restores consistent wash and spin performance. What it does:

• Generates the electromagnetic field that drives the rotor and spins the drum
• Failure can cause no spin or agitation/tumble, or a stalled drum
• May trigger LE/motor error codes and a humming or grinding noise from the motor area
• Can produce a burning smell or signs of overheating near the rear of the machine

• 1 stator assembly

• Disconnect power; move the appliance for rear access and turn off water if needed
• Remove the rear panel, rotor bolt, and rotor; handle strong magnets with care
• Unbolt and replace the stator; transfer the hall/position sensor and harness if attached, and secure wiring
• Reinstall the rotor and panel; run a test spin
