💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failing LG Circulation Pump Motor

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dishwasher displays LE error code even after powering off and restarting

⚠️ Dishes come out dirty — especially in the bottom rack — with detergent tablets undissolved

⚠️ Loud grinding, squealing, or high-pitched humming noise throughout the wash cycle

⚠️ Little to no water spraying from spray arms when the door is opened during a cycle

Before replacing: remove the sump filter and check for debris blocking the impeller or chopper blade. If no obstruction is found and the LE code persists, the circulation motor assembly is the confirmed culprit. Use a multimeter to verify the motor windings show no continuity as final confirmation.

Questions & Answers

Will this motor fix my LG dishwasher's LE error code?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
In most cases, yes. The LE error code indicates a motor issue — either a locked rotor, failed motor windings, or an obstruction in the impeller. First check for debris in the sump filter and impeller area. If the path is clear and the LE code persists after a power reset, replacing the 4681ED1004B circulation pump motor assembly is the correct fix.
Is this part compatible with Kenmore dishwashers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes. The 4681ED1004B circulation motor is compatible with Sears/Kenmore dishwashers that share the same LG platform. Please verify your full model number before ordering to confirm fitment.
Can I use this part to replace the older 4681ED1004A motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Absolutely. The 4681ED1004B is the manufacturer's updated substitution for the 4681ED1004A and is a direct, fully compatible replacement. No modifications are needed.
Do I need to pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet to replace this part?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes, the circulation pump motor is located in the sump assembly at the bottom of the tub. You will need to slide the dishwasher out from the cabinet and tip it onto its back to access and swap the motor. Most DIYers report the removal process takes longer than the actual motor swap, which is straightforward once the unit is out.
My dishwasher makes a loud grinding noise but still runs. Is the circulation motor the cause?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
A loud grinding, squealing, or high-pitched humming noise during the wash cycle is a classic symptom of worn motor windings in the 4681ED1004B circulation pump. Before replacing the motor, remove the drain pump and check the impeller for any foreign objects. If the impeller is clear and the noise continues, the circulation motor assembly should be replaced.
