Part AJB73816004 Washer Motor Stator Assembly
Purpose
Generates the magnetic field to rotate the wash basket.
Details
The AJB73816004 is a genuine OEM motor stator assembly used in LG and Kenmore top-load and front-load washing machines. This stationary component features multiple copper wire coils that, when energized, interact with the motor rotor to create the electromagnetic force needed to spin the drum. It is a critical part of the direct-drive motor system, eliminating the need for belts or pulleys. Common symptoms of a failing stator include the "LE" (Load Error) or motor-related error codes, a washer that won't spin or agitates weakly, or loud humming/rubbing noises during operation. Replacing a cracked or shorted stator restores the high-torque performance required for heavy laundry loads and high-speed extraction cycles.
