Einleitung

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

The rotor is part of the washer's direct drive motor. It doesn't have any electrical components and is less likely to break compared to the motor stator.

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.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
