PBT-GF30 - MBF618448 Washer Rotor Hub Assembly Washing Machine for LG 4413ER1001C 4413EA1002B 4413ER1003B 4413ER1002F

Based on the grinding noises we suddenly starting hearing, I thought our LG washer was a goner. The drum was trying to spin but wouldn't. After taking off the back cover panel (it's simple to do by removing 4 screws), I saw that the central bolt attaching the rotor to the stator was loose. Also, the "teeth" on the white plastic rotor hub were ground down and/or chipped off, explaining why it wasn't engaging with the metal shaft. An internet search showed that this was a fairly common problem, and Amazon had many options for replacing the plastic part including this one. I think that LG sells only the complete rotor assembly, not the hub by itself. Many reviews of this particular hub that I bought, and of other equivalent hubs on Amazon complained that it is thinner than the original by about 0.2", causing the rotor and stator to make contact (not good). I don't know why the after-market company that manufactures these hubs did that, but a number of the reviews described a solution of adding bushings to the shaft before reinstalling the rotor (bushings are just large diameter washers with large internal holes) that stack up to add the required thickness. This saved me a lot of time! I used a described solution that went like this, using bushings available in-store from Lowes: - First is the largest one against the face of the bearing – 1 x 1-1/2 x 14GA - Then 7/8 x 1-3/8 x 14GA - Then 7/8 x 1-3/8 x 18GA. ( Note I had to buy an 18GA). The larger inner diameter of 1 inch was needed to clear the drive shaft at its base. Knowing the above information ahead of time made the job go smoothly. I also appreciate it that whoever designed this after-market replacement went to the trouble of making the inner splines out of metal, rather than just making the whole thing out of plastic like the LG version. Something else might fail in the future on our washer, but probably not this part. Here are a few tips I picked up from watching videos and reading reviews: - When removing the back cover panel from the washer, you need to slide it up a bit, and then pull it out from the bottom, then lower it to slide out the top tabs - Clean the splined metal shaft and apply a light layer of grease (I assume this is good for the metal-to-metal interface, and makes it easier to remove the rotor if that is needed in the future) - Clean off the three bolts that hold the hub to the rotor, and apply blue thread locker when reassembling - Buy a new shaft bolt from Amazon rather than reusing the old one, to make a fresh start. The new ones come with thread locker already applied. (LG part number 4040FR4051C, but Amazon has third-part equivalents) - Really tighten up the shaft bolt before closing up the washing machine. This is hard to do because the drum spins freely while you are trying to tighten the bolt, so you need to somehow keep the drum from spinning, or give it some sharp turns with the socket wrench. For good measure, I rapped the socket wrench handle a few times with a rubber mallet, but not too aggressively. (I apologize in advance to the experts who will say this is a bad idea). All in all, I spent about $25 (combined cost for hub, bolt, and bushings) to make the washer work fine again. The only thing I noted is that the hub I received seemed to have been used once - there were dark scuff marks on the white plastic surface where the three bolts hold it to the rotor. I'm guessing someone tried it but bailed out because of the insufficient thickness issue. That's consistent with the comment on Amazon that this is a "Frequently returned item". But the integrity of the part hadn't been compromised, and it worked fine, so I still gave it five stars.

The plastic splines on the hub of my old LG WM0642HW were stripped and the drum wouldn't spin. As other reviewers have discussed, this part is about 0.2" thinner than the original part but works as a replacement with some shims. Look for "machine bushings" at your hardware store. One 14 gauge 1" inner diameter and two 18 gauge 7/8" inner diameter bushings were a good combination. The 1" bushing goes on the shaft first (against the drum bearing), then the two 7/8" bushings, and then the rotor with your new hub. Worked for me at least.

Form, fit, and function perfect. Metal bushing instead of plastic like the original. 4 screws to access and one bolt to remove and replace. Easy repair and I’m sure saved couple hundred bucks.

I have an LG WM2101H washing machine. It was no longer spinning because the tines were stripped in the center of the hub. I called LG and they said I needed to replace the rotor assembly for $150. I only needed a new rotor hub, not the entire rotor assembly, so I ordered this one on Amazon for $11.99. (LG does not offer the rotor hub by itself.) This rotor hub is 3-4mm shorter than the original one, so I purchased a washer, for 79 cents at my neighborhood Ace Hardware, that was 3-4mm thick to make up the difference. It worked like a charm and I had my washing machine put back together and fixed in 5 minutes. Super simple and economical fix!

This works fine on my LG washer model WM2101HW. The local parts place wanted $100 to replace both the broken plastic spline and the magnetic casing even though these clearly are separate parts and there was nothing wrong with the casing. The original part came with a plastic spline that wore out preventing the drum from rotating. This part is mostly plastic but has a metal spline built into it. In the end, this may just shift the failure point to a different location but overall, it looks much better designed. Ideally, it would be better if this were made completely of metal. Installation is fairly simple but getting enough torque on the bolt that holds the part on can be tricky since the drum rotates as you tighten it down. It took two people with one holding the drum in place and the other tightening the bolt. I don't know an exact torque value but several years ago, the factory tightened drum loosened itself which likely did a great deal of the damage to the original spline. I made sure this was pretty tight. My only issue with this order was with delivery. It took a long time to ship and even longer after my credit card had to be cancelled a few days after my original order. It really shouldn't take 11 days to get a part this small - especially one that is critical for the functioning of a major appliance.

Fit perfectly for the LG wm3455hw washer dryer combo. It actually seems more durable than the original one that came with the washer.

The teeth eventually wear out. This fixed the problem and they actually aren't that hard to replace. YouTube is your friend.

The metal splines are nice compaired to the plastic ones on the original part. They are a little sloppy on my spindle. It could be that my spindle is worn but I think the looseness of the splines allow the drum with the magnets in it to rub against the stator. Hope it works for you. It's a very quality part except the splines.

Un técnico me perdió esta pieza, la encontré unicamente en "genérico" aparentemente, pero ha salido de buena calidad, no hubo ningun inconveniente al instalar y durante el uso.

had replaced my washer rotor hub by myself and works great. save lots of money to ask a technician to come and replace

Worked fine. Easy to install. Same as original.

Looked good out of box, should have measured thickness, new one was 20 mm (.78") old one was 24mm or just under 1", after alot of viewing multiple sights, all measuring .78",found one that mentioned for some machines you may require a 4mm spacer! Other than having to make spacer, installed easily, works well'!
