The tub fills with water but does not spin. Worn or cracked rotor hub splines lose their grip on the tub shaft, preventing the motor from turning the drum during the spin cycle.
The washer runs but clothes are not being agitated or tumbled. A stripped hub center fails to transmit motor rotation to the wash basket in either direction.
The LG control board displays an LE (motor error) fault. A damaged rotor hub can cause abnormal motor load readings, triggering this error and stopping the cycle.
Unusual grinding or scraping sound from the bottom of the machine during operation. Damaged spline teeth or a cracked hub body cause the rotor to run off-center, contacting the stator.





💡 Pro Tip: How to Tell If Your Rotor Hub Is Bad
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer fills with water but tub does not spin or agitate at all
⚠️ Grinding or scraping noise coming from the bottom of the machine during the spin cycle
⚠️ LG error code LE (motor error) appears on the display panel
⚠️ Visible cracks, stripped spline teeth, or worn center cog when rotor is removed and inspected
🔍 Technician Tip: Remove the single large bolt at the center of the rotor and lift off the rotor plate. Inspect the black plastic hub — if the internal splines are rounded, chewed, or cracked, the hub is the culprit, not the stator or motor board. This part saves you from replacing the entire rotor assembly.
