Water inlet valve - cold (washer water inlet valve assembly)

This valve is used for cold water, bleach dispenser, and prewash cycles.

This is a genuine OEM part. Please disconnect the power and water supply to the washer before starting this repair.

Bearing,ball

The tub bearing supports the spin basket shaft at the back of the washing tub. If your washing machine will not spin, is leaking water, or if there is a loud screeching noise during the wash cycle, there could be an issue with the tub bearing. This genuine OEM replacement bearing has a 3-inch outer diameter, and is used to help the tub spin smoothly and to stop the washing machine from shaking during the cycle. NOTE: This part is very difficult to install. The manufacturer recommends replacing the complete rear tub and bearing assembly at the same time.

Tub bearing (bearing tub)

This tub bearing goes in your washing machine. You will find it on the bottom of the outer tub, where the transmission goes through the tub. If you hear metal on metal when the washer is spinning, you may need to replace the tub bearing. This bearing is made of metal, and is approximately 3 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

Gasket

The outer tub gasket is used to create a seal between the front and rear outer tub to prevent water leaking. The tub gasket is located between the front outer tub and the rear outer tub. If your washer starts leaking from between the outer and rear tub, the tub gasket could be worn out or damaged and will need to be replaced. This part is black in color and made of rubber.

Door gasket (gasket)

Also known as a door boot seal or bellow and comes with a drain hole. Door boot 4986ER0004F is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part that fits some front-load washers in these series: Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 796; and LG WM and CW. Door boot 4986ER0004F forms a seal between the wash tub and the door, preventing leaks. This door boot includes a drain port; if your 27-inch LG front-load washer was made before September 2007, use door boot 4986ER0004B instead, because those washers don't have a drain port.

Bearing,ball (washer tub bearing, rear. This part is very difficult to install. The manufacturer recommends replacing the complete rear tub and bearing assembly.)

This is known as a tub bearing or a rear bearing, and it is part for your washing machine. The function of this bearing is to be a support for the spin basket shaft that is located at the back of the washer tub. This model is sold individually and measures to have a 2.5-inch outer diameter. As this bearing is very difficult to install, the manufacturer recommends completely replacing the rear tub and bearing assembly. If you are only installing the rear bearing, consider replacing the seal and the other bearing as they wear out together.
