LG washers characteristic higher efficiency use of electricity and direct drives, and have been at or close to the top for market share for years, clarifies Repair Clinic. You may blame a water leak in a LG washing machine on failure in the base of the door seal. By ordering the suitable replacement door seal to your own model to resolve the leak, start. You may get the model number by opening the door and looking at the score plate above the tub. The model number is going to be a set of letters and figures in LG model, a design which appears similar, or identical, to WT1701CV, or WM3250HVA, the best reviewed unit.
Unplug the LG washing machine. Eliminate, which encircles the door boot seal round the tub opening, by dispersing the spring in its 6 o’clock position with a spring expansion tool or a screwdriver. Peel the boot seal, a wide bit of rubber that is gray, from the tub opening. Place it aside.
The white wire connector from the door latch within the right side of the door in the 3 o’clock position.
Open the pump filter pull on the rubber drainage tube out of the white clip and cover in the left of front panel. Pull the home screw out into the right of this drainage screw and set it in a small box or can. Pull the home out. Remove front panel housing screw that revealed. Place apart also.
Pull the washer and remove the screws in the rear of the top which are in two attachments. Slide the top back about an inchbeing cautious of its own sharp metal edges, and lift it up to eliminate it. Place it aside.
Return to the front left of the LG washer, and pull the dispenser drawer out. Depress the blue locking port, then slide the drawer out and place it apart. Unfasten the screws on either side of the drawer opening, which hold the control panel set up, and save them. Have a look for a mounting thread at the rear of the control panel and eliminate it. Move left right and depress the control panel mounting tabs, by hand or with the flat of a screwdriver blade, to release the panel. Place it aside.
Unfasten the top front panel mounting screws uncovered by removal of the control panel. Lift the panel up and out. Loosen with pliers the clamps on the circulation and steam hoses revealed above the tub in the 12 o’clock position. Lift the clamps up, and pull the hoses off their vents. Bend down into the seal port. Similarly loosen the clamp press it down and pull the hose off the drain tube.
Eliminate, a massive piece of metal that is thin, with spring growth tool or the screwdriver. Peel the original boot seal the tub off.
Pull a glowing orange plastic device, the original steam and circulation nozzle, from its port or ports. Press it to the port or ports on the new seal until it pops into place. Rub liquid dish soap.
Press the groove above the top of the tub in its top, together with the index arrow, aligned with a arrow on the tub at 12 o’clock and found in keeping pointing up of the seal. Function the seal into place around the tub opening.
Set the original bathtub boot bolt above the seal, together with the spring near the peak of the bath tub. This is the most challenging part of the task. Work with two screwdrivers or with an assistant if you don’t have a spring growth tool, which makes the job easier. Work the ring into place and work together with the screwdrivers to lever the ring just as you would use tire levers on a bike tire to slowly work the seal.
