How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP6230960 / 3045ER1017L Washer Drum Assembly

Replaced inner and outer Bearings and seals. In most videos you see a broken spyder, mine was not but the shaft was scored and might have caused problems with the bearing, Even using penetrating oil, the bolts just turned in the drum and I probably could have drilled them all out and re tapped them but I think faster to just replace the drum, and the new one comes with a new spyder attached. I would recommend if you are going to do this repair, is just buy the drum, gaskets and bearings. Have a lot of space to do the job, take your time and watch the video, even take pictures as you go to remind you later what you have don along the way. It looks way more complicated than it is. The Videos are Fantastic. Maybe get some new water supply lines to replace at the time and think about the water shut off valves first will they shut off. It's always something.. Also when you are installing the new bearings, I used the old bearing to drive in the new ones by setting it on top of the old, then driving it in, same size so you can get them seated very well. Its also bigger platform to hit with the dead blow hammer and you don't have to worry about damaging the bearings if you are using a punch or chisel. Also using a Drill with a #10 socket will save you a ton of time.. 

Using your excellent and comprehensive repair video, I disassembled the unit to find one bearing seized on the shaft and the shaft badly corroded. I decided to replace the spider/shaft assembly, but the bolts holding spider to tub were corroded and stripped during removal attempt. I then purchased a new tub assembly from you and along with the previously purchased bearings and seal, reassembled the washer. The video was great. No problems with reassembly. Hooked up the washer and it works like new. 

I googled the problem and saw that it could be the bearings so I watched the Appliance Part Pro video and the. Showed it to my husband. We ordered the parts which came the next day. My husband used the video to take apart the washer and found that the spider on the tub was broken. Because the bolts were so corroded, we ordered the tub assembly. Again watching the video my husband installed the tub and bearings and now my washer is like new. Thank you for having the videos for the parts you ordered. It saved us over $400.
