Kenmore Elite Washer Support Parts

The Washing Machine Shock Absorber Kit is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This kit includes a shock absorber designed to reduce vibrations and absorb shocks during the wash cycle, providing stability and minimizing excessive movement. 

Over time, the shock absorbers can wear out due to regular use, exposure to heavy or unbalanced loads, or damage from impact. These factors can lead to reduced effectiveness of the shock absorbers, causing increased vibrations and noise.

Symptoms of a bad shock absorber kit include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging or thumping noises
• The washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Leaks due to increased stress on the tub and other components

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This drum spider supports and centers the inner tub in front-load washers. It bolts to the drum and couples to the drive shaft to keep spins smooth and balanced, reducing noise and vibration as the original wears.

• Supports and centers the inner spin basket within the outer tub
• Transfers drive power through the shaft to spin the drum
• Maintains drum alignment to help prevent rubbing and noise
• When worn: loud banging/rumbling on spin, excessive vibration, metallic scraping, unbalance/spin errors, wetter-than-normal loads

• Disconnect power and water; move the washer to a stable work area
• Access requires removing panels, the door boot, and separating the tub to lift out the inner basket
• Clean mating surfaces; install and tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even seating
• Inspect rear tub bearings and seal while open; reassemble and run a test spin to check for leaks and vibration

This inner tub hub connects the washer's inner drum to the drive assembly, providing a secure rotational link so the drum can spin properly. Replacing a damaged hub restores drum stability and reduces noise or wobbling. What it does:

• Secures the inner tub to the drive shaft so the drum turns with the motor
• Prevents excessive movement, vibration, and scraping noises caused by a worn or broken hub
• Helps correct spin-related issues like uneven spinning or the drum not engaging
• Works with the tub assembly and other drive components to maintain proper drum alignment

• One inner tub hub

• Disconnect power and water supply, and fully drain the washer before starting
• Replacement generally requires removing the outer tub/inner tub assembly and transferring seals or gaskets as needed
• Use proper tools and follow OEM service instructions
• Inspect surrounding components (seals, bearings, suspension) and replace if worn to prevent repeat failure

The Spider Arm is an OEM part for LG washing machines. As an important component linking internal mechanics, the spider arm connects the basket or tub to other components like the drive motor. It facilitates the spinning motion essential for washing cycles while also enabling water to properly agitate clothing. 

Symptoms of a bad spider arm include:

• The tub not spinning or spinning unevenly
• Vibration or noise issues arising from the center of the machine  
• Water not draining or agitating clothes as intended
•  premature wear on other connected parts over time

Causes of a bad spider arm can be regular use over several years, damage from excessively heavy loads, or impact from an object inside the tub. Not replacing a faulty spider arm can accelerate damage to other expensive parts. 

This LG replacement part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
