LG Electronics 4280FR4048E Washer Tub Ball Bearing

Fit my unit perfectly! Don't forget the inner and outer seals at checkout and plan on a good 6 to 8 hours of work. I was sure to start on a day off early morning and glad I did as real life sometimes gets in the way. You may need to finish it the next if you run into any trouble with additional parts worn or broken as you go through and inspect as you tear down the unit. Last but not least, be sure to wear gloves while removing the rubber membrane around the load door, I didn't and ran into the side of the metal under the rubber membrane that seals the front load door hole to the drum and ended up with a nice 1.5" slice on my wrist. It healed nicely, however blead most of the week off and on as it was a bit deep and continued to rip open every time I stretched the wound by bumping it on anything.

As many other people have said, it takes some lubrication and muscle to remove the old bearings - but it can be done! It is well worth the savings and the peace and quiet! Nobody mentioned that it was quite difficult to install the new ones, too. Especially when you cannot hit the center of the bearing. I found it easiest to place the old bearing on top of the new one and hammer around the outer edges of the old bearing. This got the new bearing in more efficiently and without the risk of hitting the center of it.

Was able to get 4 years out of the bearing.

great price, quick shipping, perfect fit. Again, the bearings are in place and working beautifully. The most difficult task was getting old ones out of the assembly. All youtube videos show the assembly dropping out with the tap of a hammer.....mine took two days, a torch, lots of bad words, and a sledge to "tap" the old one out. Works great now!

Found out the hard way that bearings are not the only reason your washer may make a loud noise. You may just need to replace the hub in the rotor, a much simpler repair that takes only minutes. Here is how you tell the difference:If the washer makes a loud noise but agitates the drum, you most likely need to replace the bearings. However, if your washer growls like a bear and the drum does not turn when it is supposed to agitate, you most likely have a rotor hub with a stripped spline. Just replace the hub in 10 minutes for less than $30 not the entire rotor which cost close to $150. Good idea to use Loctite Blue on the bolt that holds the shaft assembly firmly connected. The lock washer is basically useless when the shaft assembly vibrates.

Fit great. Found an installation video. It installs similar to wheel bearing on a wheel hub of a car. Replaced this with other bearing and the seal. Saved hundreds, wife elated! Washing machine is whisper quiet again!

Installed on my LG washer when I replaced my spider for the drum. The original bearings were fine, but the shaft had come loos from the spider holding the drum. I opted to change the bearing while I had it apprt. They are a bugger to get out, but no real problem getting back in.

The media could not be loaded. I replaced my old bearing with this one and the other bearing to go with this one and a new gasket. It was a very time consuming job. It took at least two hours just to get the bearings out after taking the washer completely apart. Then the shaft that went through the bearings was to far gone so I had to order a new spider. But in the end it was worth it. It no longer sounds like a 747 taking off when its on the spin cycle. It is now very quiet.I also added a before and after video.Update 8-17-18 changed rating from 5 to 1 star. After only around 18 months nea bearings have gone bad. Original set lasted 10 years. Too much work to do this job again.... Just going to buy a new washer.
