Product review (5 stars): I hope it lasts...
So our LG washing machine stopped spinning and was making a loud noise when the spin cycle started. we call LG and inform them that Life is in fact NOT GOOD. They say it will cost $85.00 to have someone come out and look (not fix) at it and it if IS under warranty it will still cost 150.00 (to pay the technician) to fix it.

I took the thing apart and found that the plastic piece that connects the stator to the rotor has rounded teeth. I call LG back, yes the part IS under warranty but I have to have one of their techs install it (see cost above).

4 screws and 1 bolt later I am holding the part in my hand, a quick internet search and I find a replacement on (but of course) amazon.com for 68.00 this one has a metal piece that will not wear down like this one did and it will be here tomorrow.

My only fear is that they have moved the point of failure from the teeth to the plastic / metal bond. I can see that breaking free and not spinning with the rotor.

THANK YOU AMAZON!
