Robert V Las Vegas , NV January 03, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2277HW Loud banging and imbalance during spin cycle My problem was a broken spider. I followed your excellent video, but have some additional input that should be incorporated in a new video showing the required upgrade procedures and parts required to repair an early model with damaged front tub half using currently available parts. Don't expect everything to go as easy as the video. 1) Used 4lb. brass hammer to drive shaft from bearings. 2) Torqued spider bolts to 20ft lbs. with thread locking compound. 3) attached rubber seal to front tub cover before attaching the balance weights. Do like the video says and use vise-grips. 4) The new required heating element has the thermistor mounted to it with nonmatching electrical connectors. Had to make a pigtail from the old thermistor wiring harness by attaching two small female blade connectors with crimp fittings. Excellent parts supplier to deal with. Received 12 parts from three different states in four days just before Christmas by FedEx for $7. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Jose G Brooklyn , NY April 30, 2016 Appliance: LG Washer WM2277HW Noisy when spinning First i suggest looking at the video from appliance parts they are very helpful. It started with replacing the bearings but then escalated to much more. The front outer tub cover got damaged and had to order, then when it arrived it now has a bottom drain hose that my original one did not have, so now i have to block the hose and to my findings the old wieight does not fit with that drain hose so had to order a new weight with a cut out that accepts the bottom drain nipple. But all in all the washer works great. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set, Wrench Set
