Richard H Springfield , OH September 27, 2015 Appliance: LG Washer WM2016CW Lg Washer Wm2016cw / Abweeus: Drum knocking noise & burning rubber smell (lg wm2016cw). How to replace Outer Tub Seal. Several forums on line spoke of the same issue of mine.What happens is the spider bracket on the back of the drum corrodes away to the point where the drum will flex on high spin cycle causing the drum to rub the door seal creating the burn smell.I looked up my model and parts breakdown on this appliancepartspros site and there it was all I needed .I ordered the spider bracket , two new bearings,bearing seal,and a drum seal,and a door seal.I got the parts in 2days and all correct . I put it all back together and it runs like new again.I suggest painting that bracket with a high quality paint to protect it from corroding again that's what I did anyway. The video on YouTube made me vary comfortable that I could take this on without any problem. Really wasn't that hard just a little bit intimidating than anything If I need anything else I will definitely order from here. 20 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
