I'm trying to find a replacement for an obsolete inside unit condenser fan motor. LG mini split part number 346810 motor number 4681A201727. Dancing around the many web pages and 'chat with a representative' service is getting me nowhere. One rabbit hole indicates that a current LG motor EAU62004011 with a jumper wire fits my unit LSN121HSV2. What says the guru's here? Having spent 20+ years in the auto parts business and being able to find damn near anything for any vehicle this is very frustrating. Thanks

Could you get the old motor rewound? No idea on the interchangeability of the new motor.
since its no longer available, i think your best bet is calling business that sell this unit and see if they have any stock left over. sometimes a company that knows they will discontinue a part on a unit they buy up parts for stock
is this similar to the yours??

If you find one it will probably cost more than a whole new unit. It is the main reason I avoid selling mini splits unless there are no other options.
Two seconds on Google,

Found one on Amazon
Not it.....but I think I found one...I'll know by Thursday this week.
Reporting back.....Success! After a $100.00 service call to tell me what was obvious (motor was bad) the area authorized LG group provided me with an estimate of $1200 to vacuum down the unit, remove from the wall and if deemed necessary after inspection return it to the shop for repair if they could get the part. A new mini split system was suggested at a price of $5000.00
After checking in here and continuing to mine thru the internet algorithms to get past the retail suggestions I found a replacement motor. (Thank you 'Supply House'). Item was received in 4 days and in less then two hours this morning without removing it from the wall, the unit is up and running and whisper quiet.
Motor with shipping $110.00.

So for a total of $210 you're back in business! Definitely pays to shop around..
It's like finding 990 bucks!

Congrats to the OP.
The failure of these blower motors is almost always bearings. And they're glued together plastic case-less motors that are not repair friendly.

I have been told LG appliances are great until they need parts, and only LG has the parts. Well Done to the OP.

The greed of some people....
1200$ to remove the unit from the wall ? Getting to the fan motor and removing it from the (still mounted) wall unit is a 15min task.
5 grands for a 12k mini-split ? Is it made out of gold ?
I'm glad you were able to fix it yourself.

What i was going to suggest that lg probably made the same unit under a different name if u could talk with someone from tech might give u another lead. Needed a blower wheel for a gibson mini found out gree made the unit got a wheel in a few day s instead of 12 weeks.
