4681AP2968T Genuine DC Stepping Motor Assembly for LG Appliances, LG Step Motor Replacement Part

LG's genuine DC stepping motor assembly 4681AP2968T replaces a step motor that has stopped working. Stepping motors move in small, exact steps, and appliances use them for jobs like positioning louvres and dampers. LG's description doesn't name the appliance, and a sister part, 4681AP2968S, has a near-identical description, so the final letter matters. Check the number on your old motor's label before ordering, or ask us to look it up from your model number.

Signs a DC stepping motor has failed

A stepping motor turns a set amount each time the control board sends it a pulse, which lets the appliance move a part to an exact position and hold it there. When it fails, the part it drives stops moving or ends up in the wrong spot. Typical complaints are a louvre or flap stuck open or shut, a clicking or buzzing sound without movement, uneven airflow or temperature, or an error that appears when the board can't confirm the position.

Changing the stepping motor

Switch the appliance off at the wall or circuit breaker before you start. Stepping motors are usually held by two small screws and plug into the control board with a small multi-pin connector. Note how the motor shaft engages the part it moves, fit the new motor the same way, and check the full range of movement once power is restored.
