LG front loader banging or shaking on spin

LG front loaders use dampers between the tub and the base to soak up movement during spin. Each damper is held at its mounting points by pins like this one. When a pin wears, cracks or works out of its hole, the damper drops off and the tub has nothing to slow it down. The result is loud banging, the machine walking across the floor, unbalanced load messages on every cycle, or a damper you can see lying loose under the tub. A new pin is a simple fix if the damper itself is still sound.

Fitting a damper pin

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps. The dampers are reached by removing the front panel or by tilting the machine back carefully with a helper. Line the damper up with its mounting hole, then push the pin through until it locks into place. Check the other dampers and pins while you are in there, as one failure often points to wear on the others.

Questions about this part

How many pins does my machine use?

Most LG front loaders have more than one damper, and each is held by pins at its mounting points. Look at the dampers on your machine, count how many pins are worn, cracked or missing, then order that number.
