Lg MDS33059402 Door Boot Gasket OEM Part

An online search for LG washing machine parts came up with a repair video from Appliance Parts Pros. I watched the video. It was very well done, very detailed, and took you step by step through the entire process to replace the tub bearings and the spider, from start to finish. After watching the video, I realized this repair was well within my abilities. No specialized tools were needed. I ordered the parts from Appliance Parts Pros, and all items were in stock and delivered within a couple days. I tore the machine down and found that the bearings looked fine, but the spider was indeed badly corroded and cracked, and well on its way to complete failure. Using the video for reference, I replaced the two tub bearings, bearing seal, spider, the seal between the outer tub halves, and the door boot gasket. The only challenging part was installing the new door boot seal. In the video he installs the tub weights first then the seal. I tried it this way and struggled with the seal. I took the tub weights back off and it was then easy to put the seal in place, and then put the tub weights back on after the seal is in place on the tub.The washer works just like it did when new. If you have enough mechanical ability to change the oil and filter on your vehicle, or remove the blade from your lawn mower and sharpen it, you can handle this repair. I spent around $200.00 for parts, and about 3 hours after work making the repair. Thanks to Appliance Parts Pros for giving people the ability, confidence, and guidance to repair their appliances instead of junking them.

Unplugged washer, removed soap tray, removed the top by unscrewing screws, removed the front. Removed the boot drain tube. Used two screwdrivers to remove the boot retaining clamps. Removed the old boot and replaced it with the new one. Placed the retaining clamps, by using the screwdrivers. Attached the drain tube, assembled the front, the top, placed the soap tray back. Plugged washer and did a test run to ensure proper replacement of parts. Works Great!!

The first thing I did was to go to appliance pro.com to view the video on breaking the machine down to see if I could even attempt to make repairs. Then I found the same problems I had by reviewing customer input on appliance pro site. I owe this repair to the video I watched many times during disassembly and then reassembly The part that failed was the spider assembly and the rubber boot from drum rubbing during spin cycle. I ordered both bearings, the rear seal, front boot, new drum o-ring, and the spider assembly. The total time to disassemble was 40 minutes. The reassembly time was just a bit longer. Machine is working like brand new and I saved over 500 to 600 dollars by repairing as oppssed to replacing the machine. Total cost was $202.00 including s/h Thanks to appliance pro it was a stress free repair John

We replaced the gasket seal, which was pretty simple. It's only a 30min fix.

Replace the door boot..
