The Motor Rotor Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This component is crucial for the washer's motor operation, as it works in conjunction with the stator to create the electromagnetic field that drives the drum. It ensures the drum rotates effectively during the wash and spin cycles, facilitating thorough cleaning and efficient water extraction.

Over time, the motor rotor assembly can wear out or become damaged due to regular use, exposure to water, or excessive loads. Causes of a bad motor rotor assembly include bearing failure, corrosion, physical damage, or electrical issues.

Symptoms of a bad motor rotor assembly include:

• The washer not spinning or agitating
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing during operation
• The drum not turning or rotating inconsistently
• Error codes related to motor issues

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

The Detergent Box Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part holds and dispenses detergent, fabric softener, and bleach at the appropriate times during the wash cycle, ensuring effective cleaning and care for your laundry.

Common causes of a bad detergent box include clogging or blockage from detergent residue, wear and tear from regular use, or damage to the dispenser mechanisms.

Symptoms of a bad Detergent Box Assembly include:

• Detergent, fabric softener, or bleach not dispensing properly
• Residue build-up in the detergent drawer
• Leaks or drips from the detergent box area
• Error codes related to detergent dispensing

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This dispenser assembly is the washer's detergent drawer housing. It channels incoming water through the detergent and fabric softener compartments (and prewash, if equipped) so additives are dispensed at the correct time and helps prevent leaks at the dispenser area.

• Directs water through the dispenser to flush detergent/softener into the tub at the proper points in the cycle
• Replaces cracked, warped, or clogged housings that leak or misdirect water
• Helps resolve detergent or softener remaining in the drawer after a cycle
• Addresses water leaking or overflowing from the dispenser area or visible damage/mineral buildup in the dispenser box

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supplies before servicing
• Pull out the drawer, remove the top cover as needed, then remove mounting screws and release hose clamps to detach the old assembly

• Note the original routing; fully seat the hose on fittings and secure with existing clamps
• Restore water and power, then run a quick fill to check for leaks

This switch assembly is the microwave's door interlock module. It mounts to the latch board and contains the switches that confirm the door is closed, restoring consistent start/stop operation when worn or sticking switches cause intermittent "door" errors.

• Houses and positions the interlock micro-switches on the latch board
• Signals the control that the door is securely closed so the unit can run
• Common fixes for: won't start, stops when the door is jostled, "door" error messages, or runs but doesn't heat
• Helps correct intermittent operation caused by fatigued or misaligned switches

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves retain dangerous high voltage
• Remove the upper grille and control panel to access the latch area per your model
• Note wire locations and switch orientation; move connectors one at a time to the new assembly
• After installation, verify door latching and test operation before reassembly

This small cover cap conceals an exposed fastener or opening on your appliance, restoring a clean, finished look. It also helps protect the area from dust and splashes for a tidy, long-lasting installation.

• Covers and protects an open screw hole or attachment point on a panel or door
• Restores a clean, factory appearance
• Helps keep dust and moisture out of the opening
• Common signs it's needed: missing cap, cracked/broken cap, loose cap, won't stay clipped

• Use a plastic pry tool to gently release the old cap; press the new cap until fully seated
• Avoid forcing the cap or overtightening any underlying fastener to prevent damage

This washer motor stator assembly is the stationary windings of the direct-drive motor. Replacing a weak or shorted stator restores smooth drum tumbling and strong, consistent spin performance so wash cycles complete properly.

• Creates the rotating magnetic field that drives the rotor and spins the inner basket
• Works with the rotor to provide torque for wash/tumble and high-speed spin
• Common symptoms: drum won't spin or tumble, stops under load, or motor hums without turning
• Burnt odor or visible heat damage on windings can indicate stator failure

• Disconnect power and turn off water; access the motor from the rear panel
• Remove the rotor center bolt and slide off the rotor; strong magnets—handle carefully
• Unbolt and remove the stator; transfer/reconnect the motor position (Hall) sensor and harness if present
• Tighten fasteners evenly; verify drum rotates freely by hand before restoring power

The Top Load Washer Coupling Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG brand top-loading washing machines. This assembly connects the agitator shaft to the transmission inside the washer, allowing oscillating motions to be transferred through the transmission from the motor. 

Symptoms include:
