Worth the extra money for oem motor.
March 27, 2022|Bobby, New Jersey

This is an oem replacement. While it's more expensive than the cheaper motors, the from and rear bearings are covered so dirt and lint won't ruin the bearing(s)/motor. Purchased a $90 replacement motor in December 2019 and the front bearing went bad at the beginning of March 2022. Original motor worked from 2006 till 2019 before the clutch spring wore through.

OEM LG Motor - The Real Deal
February 27, 2022|Rikor, CT

Genuine OEM LG Electronics DC motor to replace original that lost a spring and started humming and working intermittently. Don't buy a aftermarket 'MiC' spend the extra for the real deal. Easy to remove old and install new if watch online videos. Great price and received in 2 days from SPD.

Easy install
December 13, 2021|Rebecca V, Sugar Land

Should've forked over the extra $100 when my dryer broke the 1st time! I went cheap and bought a knockoff. It was LOUD and only lasted 9 months. I put this one in and the difference is night and day. It's quite and functions as intended
