LG Front Load Washing Machine Stator Replacement

Introduzione

Use this guide to replace the stator in your LG front load washing machine.

The stator is part of the direct drive motor. If the motor is broken, it's possible that one or more of the stator coils is burnt out.

This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

    • Use an impact driver to remove the 17 mm nut securing the rotor.

    • Alternatively, you can use a wrench and a hammer to loosen the nut.

    • To secure the rotor, you can insert a screwdriver, or a similar tool, between the rotor and the stator. Make sure to brace the tool against one of the screw bosses on the stator.

    • The rotor is magnetically attracted to the stator.

    • Pull the rotor straight off the stator and drive shaft splines to remove it.

    • Wiggle the rotor as you pull to help disconnect it.

    • This may require significant force.

    • During reassembly, watch your fingers when aligning the rotor over the stator, as the rotor gets sucked in easily.

I don’t have comment just question. Does this particular model have a drive belt? Mine is not spinning properly

No it does not. It is a direct drive machine, meaning that the motor drives the wash basket directly. Take a look at this link for some help.

Bill Gilbert -

I undertook this repair with the wd14071sd6 model to replace the hall sensor as I was getting the LE error code. I have noted on step 2 that the entire back panel had to be removed to access the rotor. This is very very awkward, as multiple electrics are also connected to the panel via plastic clips.

Despite this, the repair can be achieved without any major electric disconnection work just a matter or having enough space to carefully remove things.
