1 Answer JCR, the rear outer tub assembly would be part number AJQ73413811, the front outer tub assembly is part number 3551ER0026B, and the spin basket is part number 3045ER1017L. We do sell these parts except for the front outer tub which has unfortunately been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Larry Carter March 02, 2019 for Model Number WM2277HW The tub support, made by ALDC appears to have stress fractures, cracks, and burrs. It appears that this part is being made in such a way to soon fail. What is your expertise on this? I need this part, and the one from Encompass was the worst. Are you able to get a spider for this machine that looks solid?
1 Answer Larry, The way that it looks with cracking and stress fractures would be normal for any of the spiders as it would be from the manufacturing process. Unfortunately they will all look like this. Read More...

Adrienne October 03, 2018 for Model Number Lg wm2487 Just replaced spider arm. Do I need to grease and where on the shaft should grease be applied?
1 Answer Adrienne, I would apply a thin layer of grease all around the shaft of the spider arm, the part that goes through the bearing. Read More...
Firedawgsa September 11, 2018 for Model Number WM2277HS I have the washer apart and I replaced the two bearings and seal. I looked at the spider and it appears to be in relatively good shape other than a little rust where the spindle base attaches. Two questions: When I rub my finger along the spindle on the spider I can feel several shallow "grooves" in a couple of areas. Do the grooves in the spindle indicate the spider needs to be replaced? Also, where the base of the spindle attaches there is about 1/2" that seems to be pretty rough. Is that rough area normal on the base of the spindle? I am not sure if that rough area at the base of the spindle actually inserts into the bearings.
1 Answer FiredawgSA, If you are feeling grooves in the shaft of the spider is normal and for the rough parts at the base, If it is about 1/2" it should not cause any issues with the unit. Read More...
Aclarkeb August 12, 2018 for Model Number WM2277HW Replaced bearings, seal and spider. Does the spider shaft need any lube before installing back through bearings and tub assembly?

Jeremy April 07, 2018 Hi after replacing the spider arm that was broken attempted reassembly of washer. Upon putting the two half’s encompassing the inner tub the tub has seized and won’t move can’t understand why the shaft fit in and bolted fine and the spider arm fit in ok I don’t know what I’m missing please help
1 Answer Jeremy, Make sure that the inner tub is fully seated in the rear tub and the rotor is fully screwed in place. If it is not then the tub will be pushed too far forward. If this checks ok then it sounds like the bearings may be faulty and needing to be replaced. Read More...
Jeff July 05, 2017 for Model Number WM2455HW The bolts holding the spider on turn but appear to be stripped. First, what do they bolt into? Is it the plastic ball bearing rails? If so, (not very brilliant) I am looking for suggestions on what to do next. I already have new bearings/seal/spider/tub seal. almost a whole new machine!
1 Answer Jeff, The bolts for the spider will go through the outer tub and straight into the spider itself. Try and get a putty knife under the head and see if you can get them out and if not then they may need to be drilled out. Read More...
Thang April 08, 2017 for Model Number WM2688HNM Washer 's spinning made loud banging noises. The machine is kind of over ten years old. I thought it could be the bearings when I disassembled it and it only had broken spider arm. It is kind of silly question that should I replace all the other components that can make loud noises when it is spinning(all the bearings and seal) because it is already disassembled. Thanks
1 Answer Thang, Yes, it would not be a bad idea to go ahead and replace the bearings and tub seal when you replace the spider of the unit. Read More...
