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:  

• No agitator movement or flickering motions during wash cycles
• Grinding or clicking noises coming from the motor/transmission area
• Leaks or loose fluid from damaged housing components  
• Shaking or instability of the entire washing machine

Causes of a bad coupling assembly can include material failure from ongoing vibration exposure, loosened connection points allowing unwanted play, or cracks/breaks due to heavy impacts.

The Motor Stator Bolt is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This bolt secures the stator to the motor, ensuring the stability and proper functioning of the washing machine's motor assembly.

Causes of a bad motor stator bolt can include wear and tear over time, improper installation, or damage from over-tightening or impact. A compromised bolt can lead to instability in the motor, potentially affecting the washer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad motor stator bolt include:

• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Vibrations or shaking of the washer
• The motor not functioning properly or failing to start

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

This rotor assembly is the rotating half of the direct-drive motor in your washer. It mates with the stator to spin and agitate the basket, restoring drive when the original rotor is worn, cracked, or stripped.

• Forms the magnetic rotor of the direct-drive motor to turn the wash basket
• Transfers motor torque directly to the tub for spin and wash action
• Common symptoms: no spin or agitation, starts then stops, loud grinding/clicking, motor-related error
• Visible damage may include cracked hub, stripped splines, or loose fit on the shaft

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and eye protection
• Access from the rear, remove the back panel, hold the basket, then remove the center bolt and pull the rotor straight off (strong magnets)
• Align splines/keyway, seat the rotor fully, and reinstall/tighten the center bolt securely
• Inspect the stator and hall sensor for damage before reassembly and test a spin cycle
