LG washer roaring on spin? Signs of a worn drum bearing

Ball bearings let the drum shaft spin smoothly and stay centred inside the tub. Once water gets past the shaft seal, the bearing grease washes out and the balls and races start to wear. The tell-tale sign is a rumbling or roaring noise that gets louder as the spin speeds up. You may also feel play when you rock the drum by hand, see rust-coloured streaks around the back of the tub, or find the drum rubbing. Left too long, a failed bearing can damage the shaft and tub.

Replacing drum bearings

Bearing replacement is a big job that usually means stripping the machine down to the tub and pressing the old bearings out. Unplug the washer and turn off the taps first. Always fit a new shaft seal with new bearings, and check the drum shaft for wear. If you're not set up with bearing pullers and drifts, a technician is the safer option.
