Philip M Ann Arbor , MI October 10, 2015 Appliance: LG Washer WM2016CW Lg Washer Wm2016cw / Abweeus: The spin didn't work well and there was smoke and burning rubber smell. How to replace Outer Tub Seal. I researched symptom and discovered bad "spider" was probably the culprit. I reviewed the excellent video on appliancepartspro on how to repair. Disassembly was easy. Replacing the spider was easy. The seating of the door boot gasket and getting the wire clamps on properly took forever - need to make sure the inner part is seated properly (not obvious from the video). First try had bad water leak (from not seating inner gasket properly), had to redo. Worked great after that. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
