TUB and DRUM

WM2801H*A
Removing the tub / drum assembly is
major surgery. It is much lighter if you
remove the weights and the motor.
Generally speaking, you'll have to remove
all that anyway.
Remove the motor. (See page 51.)
Drain the water from the sump.
Remove the control panel. (See page 42.)
Remove the front cabinet. (See page 45.)
Disconnect all hoses and electrical
connections.
Remove the three dampers. (See page
53.) You can remove just one pin now
and the other end after the drum
is out of the machine. Notice that all
previous versions of the dampers have
been replaced by the newer, double-
acting damper.
Pry apart the spring retainer clip.
Carefully lift the tub up off the springs
and remove it from the machine.
Unbolt the bolts around the
circumference of the seam. (top photo)
Separate the halves. Be careful to avoid
damaging the gasket. Do not pry on the
surfaces between the halves.
Instead of replacing the bearings, LG
recommends purchasing the back half of
the tub with the bearings and seal already
pressed in at the factory.
