The LG 4280EN4001C Washer-Tub Bearing helps the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly hence increasing the durability of the washing machine. This bearing helps in minimizing contact between the drum and the motor shaft so that the machine can move smoothly during washing and spinning. It is constructed in such a way that it reduces damages, thereby reducing the noise and vibrations that can harm the washer.
Step 1: The power cord should be disconnected from the washing machine and the water supply to the appliance should be shut off.
Step 2: The back cover of the washer should be taken off by removing the two screws found on either side.
Step 3: The tub bearing seal kit should be identified, which is generally positioned just above the motor and beneath the outer tub.
Step 4: The mounting bolts should be detached and the old seal kit should be extracted.
Step 5: The area where the new seal kit will be placed should be wiped down, then the provided gasket or sealant should be applied to ensure that the seal is properly seated and secure.
Step 6: The mounting bolts should be reattached, ensuring that they are fastened to the specified torque.
Step 7: The back cover should be refitted onto the washing machine and fastened with the two screws.
Step 8: The water supply to the washing machine should be restored and the power cord should be reconnected to the outlet.
