Rob K July 02, 2023 for Model Number LG WM2455HG After installing a new Tub Seal Gasket (4036ER2004A) and running a tub clean cycle (no clothes) I noticed a little water in the rear from the drainage port located between the tub seal gasket and the first bearing. Is this normal or did I receive a dud gasket and need to replace it?
1 Answer Rob, It is not normal for the tub seal to leak and you will want to double check the installation of the seal. Read More...
Mark June 14, 2023 for Model Number LG WM2077CW had water on the floor. Showed leakage drips on front of machine. So I bought a door seal and tub bearings and seal. after got the washer apart, realized there was no leaks from the back, so did not change bearings and seal. Did change out the door seal. Putting back together, realized the dispenser assembly was the leaker. So ordered a new one. Marked all the hoses and put the new one in. Ran the washer and it did NOT pick up the soap, bleach or softener. Ran three cycles and still nothing. Thought maybe it was clogged somewhere inside , so bought a new dispenser from you all. Just put it in the eve and ran the machine and it still does not pick up the liquids. Get water in the tub, have checked connections, but NO soap.. What am I not doing ???
1 Answer Mark, Make sure that all the hoses are connected to the proper port as this would be the most likely cause for the dispenser to not get the soap out. Read More...

Peter September 02, 2018 for Model Number LG WM0642HW I intended to change the bearings. All went well until I had to get the drive shaft out of the bearings. Instead of an easy tap with a mullet I needed a puller. That worked. However, the bearings do not come out, no matter how hard I pound on them. Can I buy the whole metal assembly with the bearings? I tried to remove that but after unscrewing 23 bolts it still would not move out of the plastic part. It seems I am not the only one who has that problem. I bought the bearings and seal from you and would appreciate an answer ASAP.
1 Answer Peter, It can be difficult to remove these bearings. Once you have pried out the inner seal, take a long punch and knock out the lower bearing first, work your way around the bearing until it comes out. You can use a rust or lube type solvent to help loosen the bearing. Once that one is out, you should be able to get the other bearing to pop out. Read More...

Laura March 02, 2017 for Model Number LG WM2277HW What do I use to clean the washer parts to remove all the brown stuff from the leaking bearing? Clean the drum and plastic parts? Can I clean off the stater? the cooper coils?
1 Answer Laura, For the stator you could use a contact cleaner to clean the coils. For the tub and drum you would want to use a rust remover or washer magic once the unit is back together and run a clean cycle with washer magic. Read More...

Jolie February 26, 2017 for Model Number 4174016100 I am reassembling the washer and want to know what lubricant if any goes on the drive wheel shaft
2 Answers Jolie, We would recommend a small thin coat of "Molykote" lubricant to the drum shaft and bearings WP22002123 / WP22002123. It is formulated for this purpose and environment. Unfortunately, the part is out of stock at this time, it would require 5 to 10 days to order the part and deliver it to you if you were to order the part. Read More...
Jeff F. June 19, 2016 for Model Number LG WM1832CW I followed your video on the LG washing machine (awesome) to get to the washing machine bearing but I pounded it for hours using both WD 40 and BP Blaster to help loosen up the bearing from the tub but no luck. I since put everything back together and it still works but is still loud. Although the bearing is loud, it still spins very freely. Any suggestions on how to get the bearing free? The 2 videos I saw show 1-2 taps with a hammer and it's out. Is something different on the LG MW1832CW? Everything else follows very well. Are there any tricks to removing the bearing? We have very hard water here in Albuquerque. Will this effect how to remove the bearing? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jeff, The videos never show the problems encountered with certain parts that commonly occur. The only trick to removing the tub bearings is to use a long punch and reach through the forst bearing to drive out the innermost one first. You have to work your way around the bearing as you pound on it to avoid seizing the bearing in the plastic housing at a slant. When the innermost bearing is driven out from the outer tub assembly, you can then begin removing the outer bearing in the same direction but can be driven out with a socket to drive it out straight, (without cocking the bearing).. These can be hard to remove and a lubricant is not recommended by the manufacturer because of its' interaction with the plastic outer tub material. If a lubricant is needed, I always use a liquid soap. If mineral deposits are present, a mineral removal product can be used but be sure not to allow it to stand on the plastic outer tub material for any length of time to avoid unrepairable damage.
