Drum bearings replacement

This is not a simple job, it can be fine but requires the complete disassembly of the machine to change the bearings, there are 2 bearings and a seal that require replacement, I can assist in guiding if you wish to do so, it takes around 3 hours total to strip and rebuild.

If the washer is making a loud noise the tub bearing might need to be replaced. This is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. The manufacturer recommends that if possible the complete outer tub and bearing be replaced rather than attempting to replace just the bearing in the tub. If the bearing is bad the problem is going to get worse very quickly and so either the drum and bearing will need to be replaced or the washing machine

I had same problem. It was actually wearing out the rubber gasket on front door. It ended up being the spider on back of drum. They corrode pretty good with the front loaders.

Order the replacement drum assembly. It's a warranty part and LG will ship it to you. Call them at 18002430000

It is a difficult job in terms of handling! You require spanners and bearing puller. You require one extra assistance to hold the drum and pull from the front.

You have to change the full set of Bearings with same type and design. Check the bearing housing and the shaft before fixing new ones! Replace the water seals if any

I would check the large pulley on the back for wooblyness(is that a word..lol) if so replace pulley.:)

You can't since these bearings are pressed in at the factory and are not serviceable. You would need to replace the tub's rear shell assembly.

what you will need to do is wright down the model number and go to ebay and put in bearings for a lg then put your model number in and it will come up with very cheap bearings thats where i get all my stock from. good luck £4.50p very cheap

most lg front loaders have the plastic outer drums which have about 16 h/duty screws holding the two halves together. extreemly tricky to strip to gain access to inner bearing and seal. Th/stat, motor, piping and other items have to be removed and dissassembled to enable drum to be removed. that repair i suggest for a service repair.
