LG Front Load Washing Machine Dampers Replacement

简介

Use this guide to replace the dampers in your LG front load washing machine.

The dampers support the drum while reducing the vibration transmitted to the chassis. If a damper is worn out or broken, the washer can become unbalanced during a wash cycle, resulting in excessive machine wobble and component damage.

This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.
