The Housing Assembly, Clutch is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is integral to the washing machine's transmission system, helping to engage and disengage the tub during wash and spin cycles.
You should replace this clutch housing assembly if it becomes worn out or damaged. Over time, the clutch can wear out due to repeated use, heavy loads, or poor maintenance. Additionally, debris or foreign objects can cause damage to the housing or internal components.

Our LG WT5001 top loader washer had gotten progressively worse over the last couple years. It started with a rumbling sound with seal squeaking noise.

This clutch assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is intended for use in washing machines. The clutch assembly controls the movement of the internal tub and agitator during operation. Over time and with regular use, the clutch assembly may become worn and fail to work correctly. If the washing machine tub is not moving back and forth during the wash cycle or is not spinning during the spin cycle, the clutch is broken. If it is moving or spinning, but not efficiently or fast enough, the clutch is worn and beginning to fail. In both of these instances, the clutch assembly should be replaced. Excessively wet clothes at the end of the laundry cycle can also be indicative of a broken clutch.A screwdriver, socket set, putty knife, and impact wrench with a large 38mm socket are required to make this replacement. Ensure the power is disconnected and the machine is drained. While the tub is out of the machine, take time to clean the area of gunk and buildup. Wear gloves while working on the machine.This clutch assembly is made of durable metals and is individually sold. It is designed for use in washing machines by LG and Kenmore.
