4280EN4001A Genuine Ball Bearing for LG Washing Machines, LG Washer Drum Bearing Replacement Part

Genuine LG ball bearing 4280EN4001A is a replacement bearing for LG washing machines. LG uses several bearings with the same 4280EN4001 base number and different letter suffixes, so the final A matters when ordering. Bearing size and matching models aren't on file for this part, so check the number in your washer's parts list before ordering 4280EN4001A, or send us the model and we'll look it up.

Signs of a worn washing machine bearing

Bearings let the drum shaft spin smoothly at high speed while carrying the weight of wet washing. Once water gets past the seal or the grease breaks down, the balls and races start to wear. A worn bearing usually announces itself with a rumbling or roaring noise that grows louder during spin, a drum that feels rough or has play when you rock it by hand, and rust coloured marks behind the drum. Left too long, a failed bearing can damage the drum shaft and tub.

Bearing replacement tips

Replacing drum bearings is a big job that usually means splitting or removing the outer tub. Switch the washer off at the wall and turn off the taps first. Replace the drum seal at the same time, as a leaking seal is what usually ruins bearings. Press bearings in squarely using the outer race, and check the drum spins freely before reassembly.

Questions about this part

Is 4280EN4001A the same as 4280EN4001B?

They share a base number, but the suffix letter can mark a different size or revision, so don't assume they're interchangeable. Order the exact number listed for your LG model, and contact us with the model from the washer's label if you'd like it checked.
