Parts That Fix LG Dishwasher LDFN3432T Noisy
This diverter motor, or stepper motor, controls the movement of the spray arms in your dishwasher. It directs water between the drain pump and the spray arms by turning a check valve inside the pump, managing the flow of water to these spray arms. This diverter motor runs on 120 volts and 60 Hz. When this motor fails, the dishwasher will not wash or drain properly. Please keep in mind that this genuine OEM replacement part is sold separately from the spray arms.

This pump casing assembly is compatible with various models of LG dishwashers. This assembly contains various components of the dishwasher pump. The pump is responsible for circulating water through the dishwasher during different cycles, such as washing and draining. The components included are the motor which provides the power that moves the water; the impeller, which helps to expel the water through the spray arms; the seals, which help to prevent water from leaking out, and the inlet and outlet ports which are responsible for pulling water from the tub and directing it outwards as needed; and finally, the outer housing. If any of these components fail, your dishwasher will have difficulties draining, dishes will not be cleaned thoroughly, and there will be grinding and buzzing noises during use.
Customer Repair Stories
After removing the pump, I disassembled it to find out why these fail so soon. It's a very poor design. I found that the nose of the electric motor, where the bearings are located, sits in a plastic cup formed by the top of the pump body. Any leakage from the pump around the motor shaft will be held in place against the motor bearing. It has no place to go. This causes rusting of the bearing. I expect I'll be replacing this one in a few years. :(
But kudos to PartsSelect for getting the right pump assembly for me, after getting the wrong one from another supplier!
