Product review (5 stars): Save money!!
This was precisely the part I needed and couldn't be happier about tackling the problem myself. Found a video on YouTube and the guy pointed out that many of the LG models are notorious for this part going out. Without being able to confirm the model I have was compatible I ordered it on a whim. In all of 15 minutes I was able to do the swap. Trust me, go from the bottom of the machine. If you happen across the video I saw the guy was explaining how to do it from the access panel. He had space limitations but man I cannot see going that route no matter what, just too hard.
