Genuine LG ball bearing 4280EN4001B is a 6205ZZ size bearing used in the drum of many LG front load washing machines.

If your washer roars on spin, 4280EN4001B is the bearing number to check against your parts list.

Signs your LG washing machine drum bearing is worn

The drum bearings let the drum shaft spin smoothly inside the outer tub. Once water gets past the shaft seal, the grease washes out and rust sets in. The first sign is usually a rumble during spin that grows into a loud roar, getting worse as the speed climbs. Other clues are a gritty feel or play when you rock the empty drum by hand, rust streaks on the back of the tub, and water leaking under the machine. Leaving worn bearings too long can damage the drum shaft as well.

Bearing replacement tips

Bearing replacement means stripping the machine and removing or splitting the tub, so it suits a confident DIYer or a technician. Unplug the washer and turn off the taps first. Most repairers fit new bearings and a new shaft seal together, because a reused seal lets water straight back in. Check the drum shaft for wear before you reassemble.

Questions about this part

Is a 6205ZZ bearing from a hardware store the same?

The size designation matches, but 4280EN4001B is the genuine LG bearing specified for these washers. It runs in a wet, heavily loaded position, so many repairers stick with the genuine part for the drum.
