The Shipping Bolt is an OEM part for LG washing machines, designed to secure the washing machine's drum during transportation. These bolts are important for preventing damage to the drum and suspension system by immobilizing the drum, thereby avoiding any excessive movement or vibrations that could occur while moving the appliance. 

Causes of a bad shipping bolt can include improper removal during installation, damage from handling, or degradation over time if it was left in place during operation. A damaged or missing shipping bolt can lead to issues with the washing machine's drum alignment and overall stability.

Symptoms that indicate the shipping bolts need removal or installation include:

• Excessive noise or vibrations during operation, suggesting the bolts were not removed after installation.
• Damage to the washing machine's drum or suspension system after moving the appliance without the bolts properly installed.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Tub Bearing is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. This component is essential for the smooth rotation of the washer drum, reducing friction and ensuring quiet, efficient operation during wash and spin cycles.

Causes of a bad tub bearing can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to water and detergent, or overloading the washing machine. Over time, the bearing can degrade, leading to increased friction and noise.

Symptoms of a bad tub bearing include:

• Loud noises during the spin cycle, such as grinding or roaring
• The drum wobbling or moving excessively
• Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
• Poor washing performance or the drum not spinning properly

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

The Air Chamber is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part connects to the pressure switch and ensures the washer machine fills with the correct amount of water for the selected cycle. 

Causes of a bad  Air Chamber can include clogging due to detergent residue or debris, cracks or perforations that lead to air leaks, and aging of the material, which might compromise its integrity and function.

Symptoms of a faulty Air Chamber include:

• Inaccurate water level readings leading to overfilling or insufficient water during cycles
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle, indicating air escaping
• The washing machine failing to start the wash cycle due to improper water level detection
• Error codes displayed on the machine that relate to water level issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Tub Bearing is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This bearing supports the washer drum, allowing it to spin smoothly during the wash and spin cycles. The tub bearing ensures the drum rotates quietly and efficiently, contributing to the overall performance and longevity of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad tub bearing include:

• Loud noises or grinding sounds during the spin cycle
• The washer drum not spinning properly or wobbling
• Water leaks from the bottom of the washer
• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Outer door boot clamp secures the washer's door boot to the front panel and tub, restoring the watertight seal and helping prevent the boot from shifting or separating during wash cycles. What it does:

• Clamps the outer edge of the door boot to the front panel to hold the bellows firmly in place.
• Helps maintain a watertight seal at the door—install when you see water leaking from the front or along the door seam.
• Replaces bent, corroded, or loose clamps that allow the boot to pull away or develop gaps.
• Works with the boot to reduce movement and rubbing that can cause premature wear or leaks.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair.
• Access usually requires removing the washer door or front panel; drain the tub and remove the boot to fit the clamp correctly.
