The Bearing Ball is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is a critical component in the washer's drum assembly, ensuring smooth and efficient rotation during wash cycles. The bearing reduces friction between moving parts, which helps in maintaining the washer's performance and longevity.
Causes of a bad bearing ball can include normal wear and tear over time, heavy usage, exposure to excessive loads, or contamination with debris and moisture. A faulty bearing can lead to decreased efficiency and potential damage to other components.
Symptoms of a bad bearing ball include:
- Loud, grinding, or rumbling noises during operation
- The drum wobbling or moving unevenly
- Water leaks from the drum area
- Reduced efficiency in the spin cycle
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
