Description
The Shipping Bolt is an OEM part for LG washing machines, designed to secure the washing machine's drum during transportation. These bolts are important for preventing damage to the drum and suspension system by immobilizing the drum, thereby avoiding any excessive movement or vibrations that could occur while moving the appliance.
Causes of a bad shipping bolt can include improper removal during installation, damage from handling, or degradation over time if it was left in place during operation. A damaged or missing shipping bolt can lead to issues with the washing machine's drum alignment and overall stability.
Symptoms that indicate the shipping bolts need removal or installation include:
- Excessive noise or vibrations during operation, suggesting the bolts were not removed after installation.
- Damage to the washing machine's drum or suspension system after moving the appliance without the bolts properly installed.
This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.
