LG WT4801CW loud spin noise with suspected stator and wiring damage
For the LG WT4801CW, a loud spin noise followed by a reported broken stator and damaged surrounding coil wiring should be treated as an out-of-service motor-area fault, not as a normal unbalanced-load noise. LG identifies the WT4801CW as a top-load washer and its current noise guidance says to stop and redistribute an unbalanced load, check the tub for a foreign object, verify that the washer is level, and request service when the noise continues with an empty tub.
