Lg 4036ER4001E Washer Door Gasket OEM Part

Followed the video! Which was very helpful. The shaft was VERY difficult to free from the bearings ... took the heat, penetrating oil, and a sledgehammer. Be ready for that to take a while and to have to hit the shaft a LOT harder than you think you should. The old bearings were also difficult to remove from the outer tub. Once all the old parts were out, seating the new bearings and putting the whole thing back together was relatively simple. In my case, the seal was compromised and the inner bearing was rusty. Rusty enough to make noise, but not so far gone as to allow movement/play. Outer bearing looked/felt fine...but replaced since I was in there anyway. With new bearings/seal drum rotation was silent.

Replaced the bearings, seal, spider gear, and tub gasket. A little tough getting the spider gear shaft off bearings. Wish I bought the bolts to secure the spider to the tub, had to heat them to get them loose, but all in all, followed the video steps and it went smoothly.

Watched repair/replace videos several times from at least 2 different sources. Made a list of tools needed. Made sure I had enough space to work. Used power washer to thoroughly clean all parts ( this step was not in any videos). I'm older, so my son helped me remove tub and put it back in its place. Really important to make sure all hoses/electrical connections are reinstalled/connected. I also blew out/cleared all hoses, especially the drain hose from the pump since the tub was out and hoses are easily accessible. about 6 hours total. I took my time and did extra stuff. Pre-ordered every part. Will return Spider. OEM in good shape, no cracks. Yeah. I used a small cordless drill that uses hex size bits.

Removal of bearings can be very difficult. I would just buy rear barrel with bearings and gasket installed.

I watched the video step by step. Took the washer completely apart and reassembled exactly how video said. The video is the life saver. I called 3 appliance repair company’s ,and not one wanted to put bearings in our 5 year old washer. We paid $1700 and they said the labor was more than washer was worth. Thank god for your company. I was able to chat to make sure I had the right parts in my cart. Ordered them at 2:00pm and they where delivered the next day at 3:00 pm and I had the washer going that night. Very satisfied!
