The Ball Bearing is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is designed to support the drum's rotation within the washer, ensuring smooth and quiet operation during the wash and spin cycles. This ball bearing helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to the overall efficiency and longevity of the appliance.
Causes of a bad Ball Bearing can include excessive wear due to heavy use, exposure to water or detergent leading to rust or corrosion, or damage from an unbalanced load. Over time, the bearing can degrade, leading to operational issues and increased noise.
Symptoms of a bad Ball Bearing include:
- Loud, unusual noises during the spin cycle
- The drum not rotating smoothly
- Excessive vibration or shaking
- Leaking from the drum area
This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore models.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
My lg wash machine was very noisy because of failing bearings Dominick C. • Port Washington , NY • November 02, 2024
Replacing the two bearings, and washers involved in the process
Amazed by the service: I received the parts on the next day of the order, without requesting it.
Parts were exactly as the original.
This doesn’t mean necessarily the best on the market!
In fact, the bearings are made in China, as the original!
But if they last 9 years, as the originals, will be okay!
The replacement was pretty easy, fallowing the video; but it needs time and patience.
I’m very pleased of the experience.
