Michael Z Indianapolis , IN October 18, 2014 Appliance: LG Washer WM2032HW Wahser made a loud noise in spin cycle I suspected the tub gears where ready to break so I dismantled my LG WM2032HW front load washer. I found the spyder gear corroded and broken. I also found that the stainless steel drum abraded the front tub cover so bad, it was cracked. My washer is an early model and always had standing water in the door seal after a wash. What I learned is LG stopped making the orginal front tub cover and replaced it with one that had a drain hole at the bottom front edge. I also learned that this new front cover would only work with a new door seal that had a drain hole at the bottom. I had to buy a new hose that connected the door seal drain with the drain hole in the front tub cover. All in all, the repairt was somewhat easy. I replaced the tub bearings, tub seal, front tub cover, spyder gear, and the door seal. Washer working fine.

Robert V Las Vegas , NV January 03, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2277HW Loud banging and imbalance during spin cycle My problem was a broken spider. I followed your excellent video, but have some additional input that should be incorporated in a new video showing the required upgrade procedures and parts required to repair an early model with damaged front tub half using currently available parts. Don't expect everything to go as easy as the video. 1) Used 4lb. brass hammer to drive shaft from bearings. 2) Torqued spider bolts to 20ft lbs. with thread locking compound. 3) attached rubber seal to front tub cover before attaching the balance weights. Do like the video says and use vise-grips. 4) The new required heating element has the thermistor mounted to it with nonmatching electrical connectors. Had to make a pigtail from the old thermistor wiring harness by attaching two small female blade connectors with crimp fittings. Excellent parts supplier to deal with. Received 12 parts from three different states in four days just before Christmas by FedEx for $7. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
