LG WT7405CV Repair Guide
A 4.8 cu ft direct-drive top-loader with LG’s TurboWash3D and a glass lid. The direct-drive motor removes the belt and coupling entirely, and as with LG’s front-loaders it carries a long motor warranty worth checking before any motor-related quote.

Tech notes
Worn suspension rods are the defining complaint on LG top-loaders and they wear as a set. Replacing one or two leaves the remaining tired rods to fail within months, and the customer reads that as a repair that did not work.
