Use this guide to replace the stator in your LG front load washing machine.
The stator is part of the direct drive motor. If the motor is broken, it's possible that one or more of the stator coils is burnt out.
This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

I don’t have comment just question. Does this particular model have a drive belt? Mine is not spinning properly
No it does not. It is a direct drive machine, meaning that the motor drives the wash basket directly. Take a look at this link for some help.
I undertook this repair with the wd14071sd6 model to replace the hall sensor as I was getting the LE error code. I have noted on step 2 that the entire back panel had to be removed to access the rotor. This is very very awkward, as multiple electrics are also connected to the panel via plastic clips.
Despite this, the repair can be achieved without any major electric disconnection work just a matter or having enough space to carefully remove things.
