Replacing a bearing on a washing machine elji (lg)

Replacing the Bearing in a Top Loader Machine

Separately, it should be said about top-loading washing machines. Where are the metal rings in these models? The bearings are installed on both sides of the tank; the shafts of the drum supports (flanges) are inserted into them. The bearings themselves rarely fail, usually the flanges are the first to withstand the load: the places of their attachments burst, and the shafts damage the place where the bearing is installed.

In the photo - a set for replacing the drum supports for a washing machine top loading

It is easier to change flanges and bearings on a top-loading machine than on a conventional machine. The side panels are removed first, and then the shaft of the smaller flange is removed from the bearing. Further, the replacement procedure will not differ much from that described above (taking into account the design features of the machine).

We repeat once again that replacing a bearing on a washing machine yourself is a complex process that requires special skills. Start repairing only if you are firmly confident in your abilities. We hope our article will help you.

Features of disassembling the tank and replacing bearings

We begin to disassemble the tank of the LG washing machine. First of all, we disconnect the fasteners (screws or latches) that hold the two halves of the structure together. Dividing the tank into two parts, we expose the drum pulley and its fastener, which we need to unscrew.

Having unscrewed the fastener holding the drum pulley, we carefully pull out the pulley, and screw the bolt into place. This little trick will subsequently help knock out the drum without affecting the shaft. Next, we rest the metal pin on the bolt screwed in by us and start hitting it with a hammer - our task is to knock out the shaft little by little. In no case should you hammer on the stud with significant effort, this can ultimately result in expensive repairs!

Having knocked out the shaft with the sleeve, we must carefully examine them for damage. To better understand how much the shaft is worn out, you need to hook a bearing onto it and turn it around. If there is some play between the bearing and the shaft, the shaft must be replaced. You can read more about disassembling a washing machine tank in the article How to disassemble a washing machine tank?

We proceed to replace the oil seals and bearings. We take the back of the drum and take out the oil seal from the hole in the middle of it. This is easy to do, you need to take a flat screwdriver and just pry it out of the hole. With old bearings it is more difficult - they will have to be carefully knocked out. We take our hairpin, we rest it on one edge of the bearing, then on the other, and with uniform blows of a hammer we knock it out of the hole.

After removing the bearings from the drum, we clean the hole from chips and oil. The new bearing should only be “planted” in a very clean place. Carefully drive the new bearings into the hole until the end. Next, we lubricate the oil seals and put them in place - the replacement is done. We do all the above steps in reverse order to assemble an automatic LG washing machine.

What should not be done when replacing bearings?

Every stage of work on replacing bearings of an LG washing machine, including assembling and disassembling the machine itself, can be accompanied by oversights, which in turn can lead to problems with the repair. Experts have identified a number of typical mistakes that beginners make when they first take on the repair of a washing machine. And so what they do:

Tear off the wires of the door lock sensor when removing the front wall of the washing machine.
They tear the cuff of the washing machine hatch, trying to pull it out, while previously forgetting to remove the clamp.
Damage to the pulley if an unsuccessful attempt to remove it from the axle.
Tear off the "stuck" bolts, acting on them too hard and not trying to pre-lubricate or heat them.
They cut off the wires of the temperature sensor, heating element.
Tear off the filler pipe together with the hose.
Pressing the bearings out of the drum damages it. The replacement of the bearings ends with the replacement of the drum.

Summing up, we note that it is quite possible to change bearings and oil seals on an automatic LG washing machine without the help of a specialist. But at the same time, keep in mind that, without experience in such a matter, you run the risk of running into even more expensive repairs. As they say, one wrong step and ...!

Solving common problems

In order for the repair of the device to be successful, it is necessary to correctly identify the causes of the breakdown. To do this, it is worth analyzing the symptoms of malfunctions:

If the heating element breaks down, an error code appears on the monitor. If there is no such signal, the operation of the heating element can be assessed by other criteria - the quality of the wash, the dissolution of the detergent powder. To accurately determine the operation of an element, it is worth measuring the voltage. This is done on contacts.
If the pressure switch breaks down, the water often drains itself. It is recruited and released immediately. The indicator does not signal that the tank is full. Therefore, water is continuously poured and drained from the device. Dealing with a violation is easy. For this, the pressure switch is replaced.
If the bearings are broken, the unit generates unusual noises during operation. Sometimes the unit rumbles so hard that the sounds of a breakdown can be heard even in neighboring apartments. To identify a violation, it is worth spinning the drum in different directions. If a squeak and knock appears, you can suspect a bearing failure.
A sudden shutdown of the device indicates the localization of the breakdown in the terminals. It can also indicate damage to the wires. The control module itself rarely breaks. Much more often the wires directed to the sensors burn out and close.
The equipment of this manufacturer often breaks down the drain pumps. This is due to a poor design. The drain is often clogged. As a result, the blockage prevents the water from draining completely. In this situation, the “OE” code appears on the monitor.
Sometimes the filler valve collar breaks. If it is broken, water enters the tank even when the unit is off. If the murmur of water appears after the device is turned off, a breakdown of the filler valve can be suspected.

Bearings break down quite often in LG technology. To cope with such a defect, it is necessary to properly disassemble the device. This must be done carefully, strictly following the instructions. It is advisable to photograph this process. Thanks to this, it will be possible to correctly assemble the unit.

Replacing bearings in a LG direct drive washing machine. LG Direct Drive Washing Machine Bearing Replacement

This article will describe the process of replacing the tank bearings of an LG direct drive washing machine.

Direct Drive, or Direct Drive, is a relatively new technology used by the Korean brand LG. Thanks to her, washing machines run quieter, since they do not have a belt, the engine is located at the back of the washing machine tank, and not at the bottom, as on other brands.

LG washing machine with direct drive. The engine is mounted at the back.

Disassembling the washing machine

First, remove the back wall and top cover. The top cover is fastened with two screws on the back, by unscrewing which the cover must be moved back.

After pulling out the powder tray, remove the control panel, it is fastened with two screws, which will become visible when you pull out the tray and several latches from above. Disconnect the control panel power wires.

In most cases, the power wires can only be connected one way, but take a photo or write down the locations of the wires just in case.

Now you can remove the front wall itself, for this:

unscrew the two screws under the control panel
three or four screws on the bottom, under the bottom panel that snaps off
remove the O-ring from the drum cuff, it is convenient to do this with a flat screwdriver
slide the wall up and then towards you.

Inside, the power wires for locking the hatch fit to the front wall, they are also disconnected.

Your washing machine should now look something like this:

Disassembled LG washing machine. Front view

Remove the rotor, disconnect the stator power wires

Disconnect the power wires of the heating element of the washing machine

The heating element is located at the bottom of the tank

Remove the pipes:

the tank-drain pump connection is at the bottom right
the dispenser-tank connection is at the top, under the detergent dispenser

Remove the shock absorbers, they are located on the left and right under the tank

Remove the tank from the springs and pull out

Dismantling and installing bearings

Now you need to unscrew the screws on the tank, cut the tank in half, pull out the oil seal and knock out the bearings.

De-scale the tank, thoroughly clean the place for the new bearings. It is advisable to lubricate the rubber of the seal between the halves of the tank with silicone sealant. If the elastic is disconnected, then the place of its connection should be at the top.

To make the new bearings sit better, the installation site can be warmed up with a hairdryer. Lubricate the oil seal with special grease.

Build and check

Reassemble the tank and washing machine in reverse order. After assembly, carefully check all connections, especially the clamps.

Features of the design of washing machines LG

This manufacturer produces quality direct drive washing machines. The use of technology helps to increase the resource of the motor. The same applies to moving elements. But sometimes the parts of the unit break.

The company's automatic machines include a large number of electromechanical components. During washing, all parts experience increased loads for a long time. They wear out under the influence of sudden temperature fluctuations. Also, water containing aggressive components leads to negative consequences. Masters claim that cars of this brand begin to break down after about 5 years of active use. Almost all breakdowns can be eliminated at home using improvised devices.

LG appliances can be standard or direct drive. In the first situation, the drum rotates under the influence of the drive belt, in the second - this happens after the start of the electric motor. The motor in such a unit does not contain small brushes that wear out quickly. To identify a breakdown, the device must be carefully examined.

Typically, the following parts of washing machines break down:

tubular electric heater;
bearings and oil seals;
terminals and contacts;
pressure switch;
electric lock;
drain pump;
inlet valve;
speed sensor;
water pump;
filling valve;
contact wear;
seals;
hoses;
drying system;
steam treatment system.

Removing the tank-drum assembly

To change bearings, you will have to remove the plastic tub and drum from the body of the direct drive washing machine. The equipment must be disconnected from the network, as well as from the water supply and sewerage system.Disconnect the drain and inlet hoses from the back wall of the washer. The further algorithm of actions will be as follows:

drain the water remaining in the nozzles of the machine. This can be done by unscrewing the trash filter. It is located at the bottom, behind the basement panel of the case. Remove the plug and collect the liquid in a container;
remove the powder receptacle;
remove the upper case cover by unscrewing the two bolts fixing it;
unscrew the screws holding the control panel. It is not necessary to disconnect the wires, it is better to carefully remove the panel and hang it on a special hook on the side wall of the case;
open the hatch door, bend the sealing collar, pry out the clamp that fixes it. Remove the holder ring from the machine;
unscrew the screws along the perimeter of the front wall, remove the front panel;
remove the upper metal bar, remove the counterweights;
using pliers, unclip the clamp of the branch pipe connected to the dispenser. Remove the tube, pull out the detergent hopper;
disconnect the pressure switch union;
disconnect the drain pipe from the washing machine tank. It is fastened with a clamp;
remove the back wall of the machine by removing all screws;
take a photo of the wiring diagram, this will help with reassembly;
unscrew the main screw of the direct drive. To do this, you will have to fix the motor;

to remove the central bolt, hold the tank, preventing it from rotating, throw in the key with your free hand and unscrew the fasteners;
remove the motor cover;
reset the electric motor chips, disconnect the wiring;
remove the engine by unscrewing the screws holding it;
disconnect the contacts from the heating element, pull out the tubular heater;
remove the shock absorbing elements. To remove the damper bushing, push down on its latches from the inside and pull towards you.

Now, nothing prevents the extraction of the node. All parts and wires connected to the main tank of the machine have been removed or disconnected. You can raise the tank by removing it from the springs, pull it out of the body and place it on a flat, hard surface.

How to replace a bearing with your own hands

Replacing the bearing yourself is not so difficult:

First, place the drum on a high surface. Place the bolts to be removed around its perimeter.
Remove the front section and pull out the broken element. If difficulties arise after applying the lubricant, the part should be knocked out. To do this, it is recommended to place a block on the shaft and hit it with a hammer.
It is also recommended to remove the second fragment of the tank. Dirt and scale inside should be thoroughly cleaned with a brush. It is best to use a wire for this purpose.
Pull out the oil seal, take grease and fill the bearing seating areas with it. Pull out the part with a hammer and a punch. This is done through the top. In order to pull out the outer bearing, the tank must be turned over.
The seat should be carefully cleaned. Any items that are broken must be disposed of.
Take replacement parts and treat them with soap.
Install the bearing in a special place and hammer in with a hammer.
Insert the outer bearing in the same way.
Lubricate the oil seal and apply soap to the edges. Press on the element with your fingers to push it in.

To prevent problems with repairs and maintain the functions of the unit, it is worth avoiding common mistakes that beginners make:

When removing the front fragment of the unit, the wires of the hatch blocking sensor are often torn off.
When trying to pull out the cuff, the part breaks, because inexperienced craftsmen forget to remove the clamp.
Excessive impact on the attached screws without heating or lubrication will cause them to break.
There is a risk of breaking the wires of the temperature sensor.
The filler pipe is removed with a hose.
There is a danger of damage to the drum, which makes it necessary to change it.

What to look for when repairing?

When performing self-repair of LG washing machines, you need to be very careful and careful.

It is recommended to pay attention to the following nuances

Be sure to pay attention to the seats where new parts will be installed.

If there is dirt or rust in it, it is imperative to get rid of them.
Before starting repair work, it is imperative to disconnect the equipment from the network and disconnect all hoses.
Take a closer look at the front of the LG washing machine, since at this moment many inexperienced craftsmen tear off the wires of the door lock sensor.
Trying to get to the cuff can tear the part as people often forget to remove the clamps - be careful.
You should be more careful with the stuck screws in the device of a branded washing machine.
If you act on them with excessive zeal, without using grease (all the same WD-40) or heating, then this may result in the failure of parts.
Care must be taken with the thermal sensor as well. Novice craftsmen often tear his wires out of carelessness and inattention.
Carefully remove the filler pipe - in many cases, inexperienced DIYers tear off this part along with the hose.
The utmost care must be taken when working with the drum of the washing machine.

If you accidentally damage this important component, then later it will only have to be changed to a new one, which will take more time and money.
Care must also be taken with regard to small details, so as not to damage or lose them.

Cuff

The hoses connected to the cuff can be disconnected with a flat screwdriver. The collar is fixed to the tank with the same clamp as on the hatch. Therefore, the spring should be hooked. This is done with a flat screwdriver. As a result, you will be able to get the retaining clip. The cuff can then be removed from the drum and set aside.

Disconnecting the tank hoses

To make the tank lighter, it is worth detaching the heavy counterweights. Then you need to unscrew the screw fasteners of the counterweight located on top and remove it. You can do the same for the lower counterweight.

Heating element

To remove the heating element, it is recommended to detach the batteries and cut the tie with wire cutters. Then you can unscrew the grounding pins.

Disconnecting all items associated with the tank

It is imperative to remove all parts attached to the tank. The clamps of the nozzles can be loosened with a Phillips screwdriver. Also, remove the screws securing the pressure take-off chamber.

Stator

This part should also be removed after unscrewing the screws. It is recommended to tilt the element downwards. This will help remove the wires from it.

Shock absorbers

These fragments are fixed on pins. To remove them, you need to put on a key and squeeze the locking tendrils. Then pull the part towards you with pliers. It is recommended to disconnect it and lower it down. Then remove the front shock absorber. This is done by means of a spanner key. Use pliers to remove the pin.

Tank

To remove the tank, it is recommended to remove the side springs that fix this structural element. Use a flat screwdriver to flip the plug, lift and pull the spring out of the hole located on the frame. Carefully lower the drum down and remove the spring. Do the same for the second side.

When and why should you change?

LG washing machines have long conquered the market. This applies to a wide variety of models. Devices with a capacity of 5 to 8 kg are especially popular today. They are chosen by many consumers who want to buy high-quality, reliable and durable household appliances. However, even the owners of such devices may encounter certain malfunctions and shortcomings in their work. There can be many reasons for this - it all depends on the specific problem that has arisen.

Due to it, unhindered rotation is carried out. If you use this household appliance too often or do it without observing all the necessary rules, the specified part may wear out a lot. The first signs of a problem can be noticed immediately.When a drum spins in vehicles with a faulty bearing, it makes noise, creaks or hums.

Replace the damaged part as soon as possible.

It is risky to drag out for time, because after a while the drum will stop spinning altogether, which in the future will provoke a breakdown of such an important part as an electric motor. For this reason, it is very important to always keep under control the operation of such household appliances.

In order for the bearing in the design of the LG washing machine to last as long as possible, it is recommended to select models with a direct drive and place them on a perfectly flat surface. It is advisable to adjust the equipment according to the level.
