Johnny S Temple , TX October 11, 2020 Appliance: LG WM2016CW/00 Lg Washer Wm2016cw/00: Knocking smoking. How to replace Tub Seal. Well my new wife had a LG WM2016CW in her shed out back 6 years. I am moving the shed so I thought what the heck I'll fix it .so I loaded it up, took it to my race car shop and we took it all apart everyone said its the bearings. Nope, the spyder had a crack in it. So we cleaned up everything I called appliance parts pros replaced bearings, the rear seal, spyder and drain pump because we were there now for 240 dollars we have a washer in our shop. Its great now I got crew coming in to do laundry. I'm gonna put a jar out for collection .Hey a trick we learned when putting the wire retainer around the front outer tub seal, snap ring pliers work great.
