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.

Сначала выполнить:Do these first:

🧰 Tools

Phillips #2 Screwdriver
Socket Wrench
17mm Socket (3/8in Drive)
10mm Socket

ШагиSteps

Step 1

Before you begin your repair, perform the following:
Turn off the main water supply
Unplug your washer
Disconnect all water connections at the rear of your washer

Unfasten the rear panel

Remove the screw(s) securing the rear panel.

Remove the rear panel

Unclip the rear panel from the chassis.

Step 4

Remove the rear panel.

Unfasten the rotor

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.

Remove the rotor

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.

Unfasten the motor harness

Remove the screw(s) securing the motor harness.

Unfasten the stator

Hold the stator up as you unfasten the last few bolts, as it can fall over unexpectedly.
Remove the bolts securing the stator.
During reassembly, refasten the screws in a "star" pattern.

Reposition the stator

Don't pull the stator too far away from the device, as it's still connected by wires.
Pull the stator out of its slot on the drum, and flip it so its rear is facing upward.

Disconnect the stator

Disconnect the connectors attached to the stator.
Always grip cables by their connectors and not the wires themselves.

Remove the rotor position sensor

Use your fingers to unclip the rotor position sensor from the stator.
Pull the sensor away from the stator to completely unclip it.
Remove the rotor position sensor.
You're left with the stator.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler. Repair didn’t go as planned? Ask our Answers community for help.
