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. 

Secures the washer’s tub and basket during moving to prevent internal damage. If the originals are missing after a move, install replacements for transport and remove them before using the washer.

What it does

• Locks the tub and basket to limit movement in transit
• Helps prevent suspension damage and internal rattles while relocating
• Replaces missing, bent, or stripped transport bolts
• Useful for moves, storage, or service shipments

What’s included
One shipping bolt assembly (sold individually).

Install notes

• Unplug power and turn off water before service
• Insert through the rear panel into the designated mounting point; tighten snugly—don’t overtighten
• Do not operate the washer with shipping bolts installed; remove all bolts after placement
• Some models use multiple bolts and lengths—match count/positions to your owner’s manual

Usage tip
After removal, bag and tape the bolts to the cabinet so they’re on hand for the next move.

This pivot hanger assembly supports and stabilizes the appliance component it mounts to, restoring smooth movement and alignment. Replace a worn or damaged pivot to reduce noise and prevent misalignment that can affect operation. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot point for the hanger to support the drum/door assembly and maintain correct alignment
• Helps eliminate squeaks, scraping, or jerky motion caused by a worn pivot
• Prevents sagging or uneven movement that can lead to rubbing or binding
• Restores proper mechanical support so the appliance operates quietly and reliably

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools may be required; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly steps
• Inspect surrounding components (mounts, bearings, fasteners) and replace if worn

Restore accurate feedback to your appliance with this sensor assembly. It monitors conditions at its mounting point and relays that information to the control so cooling cycles run correctly and the unit maintains your selected temperature.

• Detects temperature at the sensing location and sends a resistance signal to the main control
• Helps the control regulate compressor and fan operation to maintain setpoint
• Failure can lead to poor cooling performance, short cycling or long run times
• May trigger sensor-related error codes or prevent the unit from reaching the set temperature

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow components to cool
• Access the sensor, noting wire routing and connector orientation
• Release the retainer/clip, avoid pulling on wires, and transfer any insulation or clips from the original part if present
• Route the harness away from sharp, hot, or moving parts; fully seat the connector, reassemble, and test operation

This power cord assembly restores a secure electrical connection to your appliance so it can safely receive power. It replaces a worn, damaged, or faulty cord to help prevent interruptions and poor contact during normal use. What it does:

• Re-establishes the appliance's main power connection for reliable operation
• Replaces frayed, burnt, or damaged cord insulation and terminals
• Can stop intermittent power loss, sparking, or poor contact at the cord connection
• Provides the correct OEM-fit electrical cord and connector interface

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work.
• Tighten terminal screws securely and avoid pinching or kinking the cord.

This multi-connector harness is the replacement wire assembly that links the appliance's control board to multiple components so signals and power flow correctly. Installing the correct harness restores reliable electrical connections and control response. What it does:

• Routes power and signal between the control board and connected components using multiple color-coded wires and connectors
• Replaces damaged, burnt, or frayed wiring that can cause intermittent operation or failure to start
• Prevents short circuits and poor connections that produce error codes or erratic performance
• Maintains correct connector pin layout for proper component communication

• One multi-connector harness (single assembly)

• Disconnect power before beginning work to avoid shock or damage
• Verify connector orientation and full seat on both ends; do not force mismatched plugs
• Inspect mating connectors and terminals for damage or corrosion before installation

This softener cap seals and directs fabric softener within the washer dispenser to prevent leaks and ensure proper dispensing. Replacing a damaged cap restores correct softener flow and helps avoid dispenser drips or residue buildup. What it does

• Seals the fabric softener compartment to prevent leaks during fill and agitation
• Directs softener into the wash at the correct cycle, helping prevent early-release or pooling
• Reduces dispenser residue and clogs caused by cracked or warped caps
• Commonly replaced when the cap is cracked, missing, or no longer forms a proper seal

• One softener dispenser cap as shown

• High-level replacement — remove the dispenser assembly cover before swapping the cap
• Power off and disconnect the washer before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical injury
• Handle small plastic parts carefully to avoid damage; test dispenser operation after reassembly

This complete door assembly replaces a damaged or broken appliance door to restore proper sealing, closing and appearance. It's a full outer door unit that mounts in place of a worn or cracked door to help the appliance operate safely and look finished. What it does

• Replaces a cracked, dented or warped outer door that prevents proper closing or sealing
• Restores proper latch alignment and helps stop air or heat loss from the appliance cavity
• Fixes cosmetic damage like scratches, dents or broken trim around the door opening
• Reduces noise and vibration caused by a loose or damaged door assembly

• One complete door assembly

• Disconnect power and any fuel supply before starting work; follow manufacturer safety procedures
• Handle the door and glass with care; support weight during removal and installation to avoid dropping
• Check hinge alignment and fastener torque; tighten to manufacturer spec if available
• If the door contains glass or wiring (switches, lights), verify connections and seals before restoring power

This replacement siphon cap seals the siphon/drain connection to help prevent leaks and keep the appliance's drainage operating as intended. It restores a watertight seal and helps reduce drips or odors caused by a compromised cap. What it does:

• Seals the siphon/drain connection to prevent water leaks and drips
