Tub And Drum - LG WM2496*M Series Training Manual

DISASSEMBLY/REPAIR
WM2496H*M

(Tub and Drum)

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.
1. Remove the motor.
(See page 46.)
2. Drain the water from the sump.
(See page 40.)
3. Remove the control panel.
(See page 37.)
4. Remove the front cabinet.
(See page 40.)
5. Disconnect all hoses and
electrical connections.
6. Separate the three dampers.
(See page 49.) You can
remove just one end of each
damper now and the other one
after the drum is out.
7. Pry apart the spring retainer
clip. (See photo, left.)
8. Carefully lift the tub up off the
springs and remove it from the
machine.
9. Unbolt the bolts around the
circumference of the seam.
Separate the halves. Be careful
to avoid damaging the gasket.
Do not pry on the surfaces
between the halves.
