Product review (5 stars): Easy fix for LG front loader washer, that grinds and doesn't rotate tub.
Wow. Had I known how easy it would be to fix my 10 year old LG front loader .. :). It always pays to do some research and watch videos, and solicit feedback. I thought this thing was done and was shopping new ones .. cause I knew it would be doom and gloom if I invited an appliance repairman over (expensive too, surely). Turns out all it needed was a new rotor assembly cause the cheapo plastic splines that are mated to metal ones on the drive shaft get sheared off after time. Your machine will make a horrible grinding noise when this is happening and either spin intermittently or not at all. You will notice your clothes not getting clean and a smell in the laundry room of a electric motor stench. All looked very bad, until I found review after review that pointed me to this part. Bought, installed in about 7 min and up and running .. all in three days from the time I ordered the part to doing laundry again. Amazing and made my day. All you need, is a phillips screwdriver, 17 mm socket and wrench, and some thread lock (loctite as it is called some places). There are many videos that show the replacement.
