Donald H Tustin , CA July 03, 2015 Appliance: Amana Gas Dryer LG1009W Water leaking from my front load washing machine Removed the top cover while the machine was operating, located the source of the leak. The top filler tube had worn a hole in a flex point. Found the right part on this site, replaced it with little effort. While in there I saw a similar hose and decided to replace it as its time was probably up too. So far so good, washing clothes and no leaks!! Great prices and best of all the right parts were delivered in a timely manner. Thanks for making this so easy. Only specialty tool used was hose clamp pliers. Channel locks would have worked but the right tool for the job made this much smoother. Great opportunity to clean behind the machine, change out supply hoses and clear dryer ducts.

Lane C Pleasant Garden , NC February 24, 2015 Appliance: LG Washer WM2688HNMA The washer sounded like a jet plane when it went through the spin cycle very loud noise I originally thought the washer had a bad bearing, but once I got it disassembled it the spider arms were broken. This required the replacement of the tub assembly. While replacing the tub I replaced all of the water bellows. The parts came quickly, the live chat and videos were very helpful. This washer has to be completely disassembled to replace the drum, so mark all the screw locations, tag and bag everything and take lots of pics. It was a very rewarding project and hundreds of dollars cheaper than a service call Read More... 14 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Michael M Newbury , MA December 14, 2015 The washer appeared to be leaking Based on info around the web and your site I chose to replace all of the bellowed hoses (3) in the machine, as I did not know which bellow was leaking without taking the washer apart first. If one hose was old enough to leak I figured the others were not far behind. The appliance parts pros videos were very helpful, although I chose to replace the drum drain bellows via access through the rear panel thereby saving myself the time of disassembling the front of the machine, as was instructed. In the end none of these hoses were my problem, but I replaced them anyway and learned a lot more about how the machine functions in the process. The culprit was an intermittent supply hose valve on our wall behind the washer. Occasionally it would leak, spraying the bottom rear of the machine, leaving a puddle running out underneath the front. Replacing those solved the problem and I'm confident that I won't have any leaks stemming from hoses inside the machine. I also took the time clean the mold that was accumulating in hidden portions of the soap tray. I used a HE tub cleaner (Tide) and ran it through a number of cycles to rid the machine of internal mold & scale not visible inside the drum.

Steven S Celina , OH March 10, 2019 Appliance: Model 796.40272900 Loud noise during spin cycle I started by watching the video and it was very helpful. I would make one suggestion. On our model the weights on the tub sit very close to the front gasket. It is much easier to put the gasket on the tub before you put the weights on. Also, since the washer was tore apart, I replaced the hoses and seals and shocks since the machine is about 8 years old. The shocks made a huge difference. It spins like it did when it was new. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set, Wrench Set
