Dwayne D Hopewell Junction , NY September 29, 2014 Appliance: Model LG WM2075CW Washer basket was loose banging/knocking when running eventually gave a 'load out of balance code" The repair was fairly straight foward as shown in the video. However, driving the shaft from the bearings took some doing. It required replacing the use of the board with a spare bolt and a 2lb hand sledge. (having an air hammer as reserve, also not a bad idea) I rated this reair as a "1" however I've been an auto mechanic for 40 years. If you do not have good general mechanical ablities you may find this more challenging as you get it further apart. I suggest anyone making this repair should consider the bearings,seal, and spyder as "always replaced together".

James M Torrance , CA January 02, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2688HNMA Lg tromm water would not shut off and kept filling 8 days before our Griswald Family Christmas And 5 days before 9 people started arriving, I get a panic call from my wife that the LG Tromm washer would not stop filling the drum with water, even after I tell her to pull the plug. Googled this common problem and Appliance Parts Pros came up. Not only did it tell you the correct part (cold water valve 4 outlets) but also showed a video of how to install it, which was dead on. Only thing I would add to the video is to tap the lid all around the outside with your fist to loosen it. Once I got that off just follow the video. 10 minutes at the most. I ordered the part at 3:30pm on Friday with expedited service, which usually means next business day which was Monday and that's cutting it close. To my surprise 10am Saturday the part arrived. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros and FedEx for saving Christmas.

Jason K West Melbourne , FL February 29, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2487HWMA Jet engine noise from the spin cycle It was a bad bearing. I tried to get the bearing out, but it was not budging, so I ordered the full outer tub assembly. It came with the bearings and bearing seal, in addition to the new hoses. It all fit together perfectly and the washer is working great again. I also purchases a new tub seal (replace all seals so no leaks) and outer door gasket (older one was rusting). The videos were amazing and made the project much easier.

Merrit S Austin , TX August 31, 2019 Appliance: Model WM2277HW (ABWEEUS Clogged drain hose broken drain pump rusty door gasket clamp My 10+-year-old LG washer stopped draining and was displaying the “OE” error message. After emptying quite a but of garbage from the filter, I noticed that the small drain hose next to the filter was completely full and clogged with sand. It was like concrete and no way was I going to be able to clean it out. So, I read some online forums, and watched a bunch of you tube videos, and decided that the drain pump was probably the reason for the “OE” message. I ordered a new drain pump, a new hose, and a new door gasket clamp (I could see mine was rusty and for $5, I decided to get another one just in case the old one broke) The parts came In a day and 1/2 ~ amazing! - and I was able to do the repairs myself in a few hours. Saved a couple of hundred bucks, for sure. If you’re thinking about attempting this repair yourself, go for it! It was the first time I’d ever done it and it was not difficult at all.
