During a normal wash, randomly the drum appears to be getting stuck during the anti clockwise cycle only. The machine will try a couple of times and then just stop until the counter goes to 1 minute and then does no more. If you open the door and turn the drum manually there is no friction and is free to turn. Thanks for your help.

Sears Parts Direct is one source of the parts diagrams, https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/1vc37q1bdj-003204/lg-wm3987hw-washer-parts . See the Dispenser assembly parts diagram for the water inlet valve. If you can watch the entire cycle, try turning off the shut-off valves for the washer inlet hoses after the rinse cycle and before the dry cycle starts. Water should not flow into the washer/dryer with the shut-offs closed.
I've seen inlet valve solenoids fail in the open position or in the closed position. I've never seen a control board that sent open messages randomly. (Sometimes, there is damage to the control board or corrosion or damaged wiring that stops the control board from sending the open/closed message to the solenoid.)
I say so think its drum bearing failure common on this machine is the drum noisy on its own try a hand turn and see could also be a sock stuck in it if not free....Please leave feeddback
ok, turn the nut at the back anti clockwise, i normally jam the pully into the cut outs in the drum, when you have taken off the nut hold the inner drum inside the outer drum and tap he pu;;y anti clockwise, not too hard or it will crack, remove pully, place nut flush with shaft on the thread and you will be ablt to tap the drum out without damaging the thread.
Check the filter, which is located at the bottom front right of washer behind a flap or drop down cover.
Unscrew anti-clockwise to remove and clean.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.
Ah,,,,Sounds like drum bearings havee gone the circles iassume is oil from the bearing it will be very noisy on spinen and a lot of play on drum ..quite a big repair..hope you get on ok
Hi,
There is nothing wrong with your machine. Don'f bother with the sound , You said you threw 2 pair of jeans, so its bottons are causing the sound against the drum during cycle. Finished your laundry and worry no more. To make sure, throw some another clothing asides form jeans, like shirts, and feel the normal silent of your machine.
