Your LG top loader washes but won't spin, or the basket turns when it shouldn't? Part 4681EA1009A is the genuine LG dumper motor, also called the clutch motor, which works the spin brake and clutch changeover. It's listed for 34 models, including the WTG8532WH and WTG9532VH, the WTG1432WH, WT-H750 and WT-H800 ranges, the WT-H9506, and the WT-R10686 and WTR1132BF.

LG top loader not spinning? Check the dumper motor

In these LG top loaders, the main motor handles both washing and spinning. For the wash, only the pulsator turns, and for the spin the whole basket has to lock onto the drive. The dumper motor is a small unit that pulls the clutch and brake mechanism across between those two modes. When it fails, the machine may agitate fine but refuse to spin, leave clothes soaking wet, spin the basket during the wash, or make clicking and grinding sounds as it tries to shift.

Fitting the dumper motor

Unplug the washer at the wall and turn off both taps. The dumper motor sits underneath the machine near the drive, so tip the washer back carefully or lay it on its side on a blanket. Note how the lever or link connects before removing the old motor, and photograph the wiring plug. Fit the new one in the same position and test both a wash and a spin before refitting any covers.
