The rear half of the outer wash drum (which contains the rear bearing and tub shaft seal) needs to be replaced. On a 1 - 10 scale, this rates a difficulty rating of about an 8. An experienced appliance tech can do it in about 2 hours, and hit you up for about $500. I do not suggest this as a do it yourself repair. Did you know that the new LG machines use a balance ring to make them much smoother running? (Hint: It may be wiser to replace the machine.)

main drum bearing is pressed into the rear outer drum 1/2. you will need to replace that part. hopefully, the motor isn't damaged by the leaking water.

LG Front Load WM1815cs Makes loud noise when spinning. Inner tub is loose and seems to bounce making loud noise. Is this more than a bearing problem?

The outer tub and the bearing will need replacing as by replacing only the bearing will be a short lived repair as it will go the same way.

Does a 2002 taurus have wheel barrings

Possibilities are:
  1. Bad wheel bearing
  2. Bad tie rod
  3. Bad ball joint
  4. Bad strut
  5. Loose lug nuts
Most cases it's a wheel bearing but since you're getting a loud noise too, it could very well be a bad ball joint or tie rod end.

My kenmore front loading washer is screeching during spin cycle and seems to be spinning poorly at times. what is going on?

The wash drum should spin smoothly by hand without much noise. It is supported with two sets of ball bearings. If the water seal fails, water starts to leak into the inner bearing and they start to rust causing a loud noise especially during the spin cycle. The only way to fix it is to replace the bearings and seal. It a big and expensive job to replace the bearings since you literally need to take your washer apart to get to the bearings. Sorry.

I have LG washer and dryer and its making loud noise, specially when its spinning. Do you have any suggestion. this washer is only 4 yrs old

The most common reason for a loud noise on spin cycle is that water has got into the bearings and forms rust. The ball bearings are no longer smooth. Hence the noise!..Probably the most common F/L washer reason for demise. If the inner bowl is loose and 'floppy', it would be for the same reason.....Overuse of detergent will do it every time!.....Sorry.......Nomess

Our neptune front-loader has become extremely loud during spin cycles, you almost need hearing protection, otherwise, it works great

Ball bearings have worn out. Replace as a set. Replace Water seals in the drum. Check the bearing shaft for any scrub marks. Check bearing housing. Fix new bearings now

Lg wm1832cw front load washer

One of 2 things may be causing the loud noise.  Either the rear bearing on the drum has failed and will need to be replaced (very expensive) or the drain pump has a bearing problem and is making a very loud noise when it is draining (not too expensive).  Either way, you will need a qualified LG technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
