Peter M Norwood , MA February 26, 2022 Appliance: Model WM2277HW/01 Slow leak from front of LG Tromm washing machine. I had a slow leak from the very front of my LG washer, so I was pretty sure that it was just the gasket leaking, and not any of the hoses. It's not a complicated repair, with the usual confidence-inspiring video from Matt. There are three things to be aware of: 1) I originally ordered the wrong gasket. My model number is WM2277HW /01, which the APP website does not recognize. It only recognizes /00 or no suffix whatsoever. The correct part number for the /01 is 4986ER0004B. The easy way to tell is whether there are any hoses connected to this gasket in your washer or not. If you have a drain hose in the bottom, you want to order part number 4986ER0004F. (My washer does not have any connections whatsoever to this gasket, so I didn't actually have to worry about cutting out one of the molded connectors). 2) It was a real pain to seat this gasket to the inner seal, next to the tub. I had 95% of it in place and it just did NOT want to seat the rest of the way. I ended up putting a light bead of dish soap along the plastic lip in that section, and it popped right on. I figured that it would be the next day before I actually ran the washer, and the minor amount of soap would have dried out by then, and the gasket clamp holds it tight anyway. 3) The inner gasket clamp is kind of a pain to get back into place. I guess there's a special tool for this, but I just used a pair of vice grips. You have to hook the loop in the spring over the formed hook on the other end, and it requires a lot of force to stretch the spring enough. Be sure that you have the loop and hook lined up properly because the vice grips have to be really snugged down tight and you won't have a lot of flexibility. That said, it only took about 5 minutes. The root cause of this was probably a buildup of crud on the underside of the door window, which prevented the gasket from sealing properly, but the gasket is about 15 years old, permanently stained in places, and had lint build up in a bunch of places, so I'm still glad I replaced it. My washer looks and runs like it's brand new again. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Dorian V Plantation , FL June 17, 2014 Appliance: LG Washer WM2075CW The gasket needed replacing I had a repair company come in and do it. I ordered the gasket in December when my husband had volunteered the job. However, he then thought it was too big so he went on vacation, and I called in a company. They arrived and told me it was the incorrect gasket. I then called back and ordered another one, which did not look right. So I called back and got Amber Pell. I cannot give her enough props for her assistance. She gave me her email address to forward the pictures I had taken of the old and new gasket side by side. She then contacted me first thing Monday morning to advise what the technicians had said - she should be the face of customer service everywhere - the gasket fit and has now been installed... Thank you! Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
Thomas B Cincinnati , OH March 21, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2277HB Mold on the gasket it was over 10 years old Spent a lot of time watching the videos posted on AppliancePartsPros.com. Then set out to repair it. Things went well, and the hardest part of the entire process was just getting the gasket set in the proper position. For the back edge, I had to use both thumbs and work the gasket back and forth until it set in position. The front edge was a little easier, but I used my fingers to set it. Getting the front clamp set was a two person job. I had to pull it while my wife set it in the proper position. Now that I have done it, I will not wait so long to change it in the future.
