The Suspension Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part ensures the stability of the washer during operation by absorbing vibrations and reducing movement. The suspension assembly maintains the balance of the wash drum during the spin cycle, preventing excessive shaking or noise.

Causes of a bad Suspension Assembly can stem from normal wear and tear over time, overloading the machine beyond its capacity, or consistently washing unbalanced loads, which put additional stress on the suspension components.

Symptoms of a bad Suspension Assembly include:

• Unusual noise during the spin cycle
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the machine
• The washing machine "walking" or moving from its designated spot
• Uneven distribution of laundry leading to imbalanced loads

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Spider is an OEM part for LG washing machines. As the rear tub support, it is located behind the outer tub and provides structural support during the spinning cycles. The spider braces against excessive vibration and movement to maintain integrity of the washer tub under heavy loads.

Causes of a bad spider can include cracks, breaks, or loosening due to wear and tear over time from stress of the spinning cycles. Metal fatigue from years of use also contributes.

Symptoms of a bad spider include:

• Excessive shaking and rattling during spin cycles
• Rubbing or grinding noises emanating from the rear of the washer
• Difficulty with load distribution and spinning effectiveness
• Potential leaks due to compromised tub support

This LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This drum spider supports and centers the inner tub in front-load washers. It bolts to the drum and couples to the drive shaft to keep spins smooth and balanced, reducing noise and vibration as the original wears.

• Supports and centers the inner spin basket within the outer tub
• Transfers drive power through the shaft to spin the drum
• Maintains drum alignment to help prevent rubbing and noise
• When worn: loud banging/rumbling on spin, excessive vibration, metallic scraping, unbalance/spin errors, wetter-than-normal loads

• Disconnect power and water; move the washer to a stable work area
• Access requires removing panels, the door boot, and separating the tub to lift out the inner basket
• Clean mating surfaces; install and tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even seating
• Inspect rear tub bearings and seal while open; reassemble and run a test spin to check for leaks and vibration

The Spider Arm is an OEM part for LG washing machines. As an important component linking internal mechanics, the spider arm connects the basket or tub to other components like the drive motor. It facilitates the spinning motion essential for washing cycles while also enabling water to properly agitate clothing. 

Symptoms of a bad spider arm include:

• The tub not spinning or spinning unevenly
• Vibration or noise issues arising from the center of the machine  
• Water not draining or agitating clothes as intended
•  premature wear on other connected parts over time

Causes of a bad spider arm can be regular use over several years, damage from excessively heavy loads, or impact from an object inside the tub. Not replacing a faulty spider arm can accelerate damage to other expensive parts. 

This LG replacement part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models. 

This washer shock absorber mounts between the outer tub and base to control movement during spin. Replacing a worn damper restores stability, reduces vibration and noise, and helps prevent the machine from walking or banging.

• Stabilizes the tub during spin by absorbing and controlling movement
• Reduces vibration and cabinet noise for smoother operation
• Helps the washer reach and maintain proper spin speed
• Worn shocks can cause shaking, banging, or walking during spin

• Disconnect power and water; use gloves and protect the floor.
• Access from the front or rear depending on model; remove panels as needed.
• Support the tub, then remove fasteners at both ends; install the new damper in the same orientation and tighten securely.
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to check for vibration.

This inner tub hub connects the washer's inner drum to the drive assembly, providing a secure rotational link so the drum can spin properly. Replacing a damaged hub restores drum stability and reduces noise or wobbling. What it does:
