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.

Turns out the tub gasket was leaking after 10 years. The washer door boot seal gasket was the most difficult to install - should have never taken it off Cover, Tub. Videos do not show everything for installation of it. The bearing and spider are in perfect shape.

Watched the video from the AppliancePartsPros.com on youtube with step-by-step visual instructions, tools, and tips. Changing the bearing is a big job and would not have been able to do the job without it. The washer is used every day in the spa so it cannot have downtime. ApplicancePartsPros.com shipped it overnight delivery, got it on time and was able to finish the job before the next work day.

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.
