It fits around the drum shaft at the back of the tub and keeps wash water away from the bearings. There's no model list on file, so check your machine's parts list for 4036ER2004A, or compare it with the number on the seal you remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNoisy spin and leaks: the bearing seal connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a front loader, the drum shaft passes through the back of the tub on a pair of bearings. The bearing seal stops water getting past the shaft. Once a seal wears or hardens, water seeps through, washes out the grease and rusts the bearings. The first sign is often a rumble or roar on spin that gets louder over the weeks, followed by brown streaks down the back of the tub or a leak under the machine. Replacing the seal early, together with the bearings, can save the tub and drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine LG part 4036ER2004A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum bearing seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor LG front load washing machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanning a bearing and seal job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the washer and turn off both taps first. Reaching the seal means removing the drum from the tub, which is a big job, so most repairers fit new bearings and a new seal together. Check the drum shaft for wear where the seal runs, because a grooved shaft can chew through a new seal quickly. Grease the seal lip lightly before fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace the bearings at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually, yes. If water has got past the old seal, the bearings have probably been affected too, and the labour to reach them is the same. Fitting the seal and bearings together saves pulling the machine apart twice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44548896587854,"sku":"4036ER2004A","price":19.73,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/4036er2004a-genuine-lg-drum-bearing-seal","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
