How to disassemble the loading tank of the Lg washing machine with direct drive

So, we have removed all the panels: the front, back and top cover, the control module. Now we will tell you how to disassemble the loading tank of Lg washing machine with direct drive.

This work in the service center is the most expensive, because the machine must be completely disassembled. The bearing and packing are in the back of the tank. To find out if the bearing is faulty or fine, rotate the drum by hand.

If you hear a creaking and rumbling, it means that the bearing is not working, it must be replaced.

As soon as you buy Lg, you should immediately set the washing machine on a flat surface, adjusting it on the level, so that the bearings are evenly loaded. If you see a leak in the back of the tank, then the gland has failed.

To get to the bearing, you need to completely disassemble the drum. Replace the part with a new one of this particular model. From other machines, you can not take a bearing, because it will not fit. When buying it in the store, pay attention to the integrity and quality of the part.

Direct drive, or Direct Drive-a new technology used by the Korean firm Lg. Thanks to it, the life of the washing machine is longer, because it does not have a drive belt.

The machine works quietly. In this brand of washer-dryer, the motor is located at the back of the loader, not at the bottom like in other units.

• To easily remove the drum, you must remove the counterweights. Unscrew the bolts at the upper counterweight, remove it, and do the same with the lower counterweight.
• At the top of the tank are the hoses. They need to be removed. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the hose clamps. Loosen the clamps and disconnect the hoses from the tank.
• At the bottom of the tank you must also disconnect The thermistor .. Squeeze the connector's latch and remove it. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut the wire tie that connects the thermistor to the wires to the heater and grounding contact.
• The ground contact is secured with a 10" nut. Unscrew the contact with a 10 head.
• Disconnect all machine parts from the tank of the washing machine, as well as the wires of the heating element, drain pump, motor. Take out the terminals with which the sensors are connected to the loading tank and remove them.
• Disconnect the water level gauge and drain pump connection from the tank drain pump nozzleso that they do not interfere with the removal of the drum. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the clamp that holds the branch on the tank. After loosening the clamp, disconnect the spigot from the tank. These spigots connect the loading tank to the rest of the unit.
• Remove the screws that secure the pressure chamber. Next, unscrew the nut tightening the rotor with a 16 head. You have to hold it, because the bolt is difficult to unscrew. If you are still unable to unscrew the bolt, ask someone to hold the drum inside.
• Remove the rotor. Underneath is the stator, which is bolted down with several bolts. Take a 10 head and unscrew each one.
• When you unscrew the last bolt, hold the stator so it doesn't fall off and get damaged. Remove the stator by lowering it down and tilting it. Disconnect the connector retainer and then the connector. Remove them from the stator. Now the tank and drum are not connected to anything, but are on the shock absorbers and springs.
• Now you have to remove the pins that hold and connect the shock absorbers. They have 2 locking tabs. Take a 13 head and put it on the pins so as to squeeze these tendrils. Then pull the pins out toward you with the pliers. The shock absorber can now be removed from the tank.
• Then remove the springs. They have a plug on them that keeps them from popping off the loading tank. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the plug off, then remove the springs.
• Disconnect the hopper from the springs and place it with the pulley up. The motor is removed along with the tank.
• Unscrew the motor. Pull the tank out.
• Put it on the wooden blocks with the pulley up and use a 10 head to remove the bolts. Now one half can be lifted easily. Use a screwdriver to make it come apart faster. Inspect the top half of the tank to make sure there are no cracks or chips. If there are, the top half of the tank can be replaced. Try to pull the drum out of the other half of the tank. If it does not come out, turn the tank upside down and knock the drum out of the tank. There may be a bearing stuck in it and preventing the drum from coming out of the tank.
• To do this, place the inverted tank on wooden blocks with the plastic part to bang on the drum shaft. Before this action, pour some penetrating grease into the seating and let it soak for a while-1 minute.
• Take a block of wood and place it on the shaft so as not to damage it when tapping with the hammer. Hit the wood and the shaft with the hammer. The drum will pop out.
• Remove the other half of the drum. Examine the drum. If it's okay, put it aside, we don't need it yet.
• Turn the tank half over and use a flathead screwdriver to pry the gland from it.
• Remove the dirt. Then lubricate the edges of the bearing with penetrating grease over the seating area to make it easier to knock it out. Excess oil should then be removed so as not to weaken the tank material. Hit the bearing, the bottom one first, with a hammer. Then turn the tank over and knock out the other bearing from the back side.
• When the bearings are out, use a nylon or brass brush to brush the seat free of dirt. Do not use a metal brush for this purpose because it will damage the tank. Before putting the bearings in place, lubricate the edges with liquid soap to make them easier to install. Put the new bearings in place and settle them with a hammer.
