Tub Spin Seal

Tub Spin Seal

Broken Seal

Screw drivers, sockets, some wire for the silicone diaphragm

Start by taking the top front and side panels off. Set tub on it's back once front cover is off, and back magnet rotor is removed. Getting the silicone thing off is the hardest part. I've found using small wire to make loops that I can grab helps to pull the spring apart so it can be un-latched or re-latched. Remove the top hanging springs, and bottom shock absorbers. Split the tub and pull the drum. The spider is made of some type of pot aluminium and if the seal is bad it is likely bad and the bearings may also need to be replaced. Re-assemble in reverse and it should be good for another 10 years of work.

Washer sounded like a jet engine when on spin cycle.

Screwdriver, wrench, hammer, punch and ratchet set.

This tub seal was the correct size for my LG WH2455 washing machine. Tub seals that I purchased elsewhere were not the correct size and let water get to the bearings which caused them to make noise after 4 months. Highly recommend this part. Thank you Parts Dr.

Tub bearings were shot!

Regular and Phillips screwdrivers, sockets, hammer, large punch, clippers for zip ties, and beer.

Watch a couple of videos online, ordered parts, watched videos again, repaired washer. Took 3 hours from start to finish.
