LG WM2496H is rubbing or hitting something in the tub on high spin cpart of cycle. Tried replacing the large magnetic wheel connected to tub shaft but it is still happening. Could this be a serious tub problem? If i hold the tub and push back slightly during the spin cycle it is ok. but when I let go, it rubs on something and stops spinning.

I have this problem and you can find the solution on this same web page by searching. It is likely the Hall Sensor that needs to be replaced (see proflevy posting on Jul 16, 2008). According to the postings, it is from soap build up on the sensor and replacing it costs $18 for the part and is easy (many responses on this). I am waiting for the part and will try to fix mine soon.

When my washer did that, I found that the shocks that hold the tub were bad...

Check out this tip I wrote about the noise and vibration that front load washers can make..

SOURCE: 1 1/2 year old lg WM2496H showed oe error code

The LG error code OE simply means "the pump is blocked". Presumably the water isn't being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn't pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.


LG themselves have some information on this error code..

If can be the tub is rubbing against the suspension springs to produce the rubbing noise.
Now as you have confiremd that the noise is from a rubbing and that the bearings , impellers were checked, the correct fault can be found only with assistance. You might need a volunteer to turn the tub manually as you check. Now disconnect the motor and check, if noise still remains bring it to the point of noise and reverse. Does the sound return,
Looking behind the drum you can find some stray wire or detached spring of the suspension touching but I would like you to use a good power light to probe listening to the noise to arrive at the fault.
Tip: If you can have a flexible tube use it to hear the noise as a probe with one end to the ear and the other as the probe.

SOURCE: Tub is rubbing with a burning smell

As this has a direct drive motor it is not a good sign, it's most likely that the bearing/seal has failed and allowed water to get onto the stator of the motor.
