MAP61913707 Genuine Ball Bearing for LG Washing Machines, LG Bearing Ball Spare Part

MAP61913707 is LG's own part number for a ball bearing, supplied here as the genuine LG part. LG lists it simply as Bearing, Ball, and it sits right next to a closely related number, MAP61913708, so check the last digit carefully. If this bearing is for your machine's drum, plan to replace the seal at the same time, and confirm in your LG parts list exactly which bearings your model takes.

Noisy LG washer? How bearing wear shows up

Ball bearings let a shaft spin smoothly while holding it in line. In a washing machine, bearing wear usually starts quietly, then builds into a rumble or roar that's loudest on the spin cycle. Other signs are a drum that feels rough or has play when you rock it by hand, rust streaks or a brown stain behind the drum, and water leaking past a failed seal. Ignoring a noisy bearing can damage the shaft, the drum support and the tub, which turns a bearing job into a much bigger repair.

Replacing an LG washer bearing

Bearing replacement is a workshop-level job. Unplug the machine and turn off the taps first. On most front loaders the tub has to come out and be split to reach the bearings, and a bearing puller and press make the work far easier. Fit a new seal at the same time and clean the shaft before reassembly. If you're not set up for it, a repair technician is the safer choice.
