Rob D Nesbit , MS January 15, 2017 Appliance: LG Washer WM2016CW Lg Washer Wm2016cw / Abweeus: Broken spider bracket. How to replace Tub Seal. 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. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
