How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP5200557 / AHL72914402 Rotor Assembly

Took off the back access panel and found the bolt that holds the rotor was loose. I ordered a new rotor because the spline was worn off of the hub. It arrived in two days and I took 20 min. to replace it and tightened the bolt real well. I slid the washer in place and tested it. It spun up to 104, so I stoped it and washed some clothes. All i9s well in the universe once again! 

Between your video and quick service in sending the part, it made fixing the washer effortless. I will be sure to tell all my friends and co workers. Thanks Phil 

Replaced rotor: Tools used: Phillips screwdriver, 14mm offset boxend wrench. Thread-lock compound. 1. Disconnect hoses and power. 2. Remove four Phillips screws from rear access panel, lift panel slightly, pull bottom of panel slightly away from washer, and pull panel down to remove it all the way. 3. Use wrench to remove bolt from center of rotor. Bolt was very loose. 4. Carefully pull rotor from drive shaft, wiggling slightly while applying steady pulling force. Magnets in rotor will try to pull rotor back onto the shaft. 5. Clean shaft before installing replacement rotor on shaft. 6. Apply thread locking compound to bolt thread before inserting and tightening it in the center of rotor. Tighten by having a helper hold the drum while you tighten the bolt. spin the drum to make sure it moves freely with the new rotor in place. 7. Reinstall the access panel in reverse order of removal. 8. Attach hoses and plug in power cord. 9. Run "rinse and spin" cycle to test repair.

Replaced rotor. 

Thought it was the bearings but after researching on your site I found that the sader bushing was slipping thanks to one of the postings from another customer. I ordered the sader from you and three days later I replaced it in 15 minutes. I can not give your company enough praise. Right part, perfect fit, and quick service too. Thank you so very much 

Took of the back panel and removed the rotor assembly, It had been stripped so it was not holding on to the drive shaft. i ordered a replacement and put it on. It works great now! Thank you!!
