How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4439264 / 4434ER0003C Spider Arm Assembly

Replaced spider arm, and both bearings. Bearings were probably OK, but as long as I had the thing opened up, I thought worth replacing. The video was extremely helpful and well detailed. Removing/reattaching the pistons was a bit tricky, and removing the bolts on the old spider was really tough. Definitely needed penetrating oil and heat, plus a breaker bar. This repair not for the meek. 

Watched the on line repair video, orders bracket, bearings and seals since I was going in I might as well get it all replaced. Machine started emitting a burning smell and was actually starting to smoke. Tub was rubbing against rubber boot causing the smell and smoke. The repair was quite easy, I believe I spent more time cleaning the nasty inside that actually repairing. My spider was completely broken one one arm and cracked almost in half on another. Video was worth the time to watch, fairly easy repair and washing like a new one. 

Visited appliancepro found the exact problem. Ordered a spider arm and gaskets. The repair vidios are spot on! If you follow the vidio you will not have a problem! Probably took me a total of 2.5 hours and saved me hundreds! Customer service is exceptional!! Only website I will use for appliance repairs! 

I replaced the corroded/cracked spider arm, as well as the bearings and gaskets as an extra precaution. The stainless drum and plastic housing also apparently needed a thorough cleaning. 

Tromm lg front load washer-had to disassemble the whole machine – took a while to do-that YouTube video really helped – then reassembled it no problems-runs like a champ– Thank you appliance parts pros ?????? 

I could see that the tub was completely loose inside the washer. So, I went online and google'd the model of my washer and found the videos posted by ApplianceParts.Pros.com. Amazing! After I watched the video, Since a replacement washer would be close to $900, I decided better to give it a shot fixing my washer than to start calling repairmen to get a $400 quote to fix it. I was able to disassemble the machine myself and found that the "Spider" was completely corroded. WHAT A BAD DESIGN. They mated a cast aluminum spider to a stainless steel tub and let that soak in washing machine fluid. Not the best. My machine is eight years old. I ordered the parts from APP.com and they were here in two days. Took me about two hours to finish putting the machine back together and viola! It works fine. 

After watching a video online we decided to save money and replace the bearings ourselves. We took the machine apart to get to the bearings to find they were seized around the shaft if the spider. After failed attempts we realized the spider had to be replaced. We easily ordered the part from appliance part pro. It came quickly. We easily installed the new parts and saved HUNDREDS if dollars. Thanks for being a go to place! 

We watched the video which was great. Took it all apart and reassembled the washer with only one issue - the bolts holding the spider arm were frozen on and we had to drill out the heads and use replacement bolts. But all-in-all, video was great and the washer works! 

I followed Simon on your video and had to dismantle the LG washer and replace the spider bracket, bearings and seal. The seal is what was causing the smoke. The video was excellent and the parts were right. The washer is working great now! The repair took a few hours but a lot of that time was spent cleaning parts before reassembly. This is the second time I have repaired one of my appliances with your parts and videos. Thank you appliance parts pros, you provide a great service. 

I followed the video for replacing the spider arm assembly. The video was invaluable. I could not have done the repair without it. I watched the video before ordering the part to assure myself that this was within my means. The washer in the video had some minor differences to mine but nothing that I couldn't work around.The washer is fixed and working perfectly now.
