Customer Questions and Answers for Rotating Ring Assembly (Drum Support) by Lg

Rotating ring assembly supports the drum's rotating interface to maintain smooth, stable rotation. Replacing a worn or damaged ring reduces noise, vibration and scraping for quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds and aligns the drum's rotating surface so the drum spins smoothly and evenly.
• Prevents metal-on-metal contact between the drum and cabinet or shaft.
• Worn or damaged rings can cause rubbing, grinding, squealing or excessive vibration.
• Restoring the ring can improve drum tracking and reduce noise during spin cycles.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Support the drum during removal to prevent it from shifting; follow the model's service diagram for correct disassembly.
• Inspect neighboring parts (rear drum bearing, glides, seals) for wear and replace as needed.
