Thanks worked very easily thanks to this video. A second hand makes this job easier by holding the spring open while putting it in place then releasing the spring with the right pliers
Great job Daniel😊👍
So glad I saw your video before I did this repair. There’s another video that says u have to remove the front panel. That is not necessary. Thank u!
You’re welcome😊
I used my thumbs and got the spring on after a few tries. You made it look easier than it is. Great Video! You saved me tons.
Thanks so much Matt😊
I must say, your video was right on the money! 35 mins and done. I did use the tool on the outer seal, it was just too hard to put back on, But it's like a new machine now! Thanks
I literally can’t get the spring back on. It’s pissing me off beyond belief.
I spent hours trying to do this. I then just took off the front and top of the washer and it took literally 30 seconds.
Legend! My gf and I fixed our landlords washer gasket. It was definitely not easy but with the right tools was straight forward thanks to your tutorial!
Awesome 😊😊😊💻 Brand New Appliance Repair Blog - Lots of DIY Easy Fixes - Click Here: www.ApplianceFixes4You.com
As soon as I saw this, I knew you were a pro. I was able to easily change out my moldy seal this way and considering my dryer is stacked on top, this saved me a lot of time. I was thinking it could be done this way but all the other waterheads posting videos take the front off. I mean, sure, it might be easier to get the inner clamp back on but I really did not want to take my dryer down.
So glad I found your video and you confirmed that this is THE way to do it. My only regret is that I had the cheap $12 pliers for the clamps and besides the fact that they open when you squeeze them and are not bent like yours, the tips were way to big to be of any use. I ended up using a tire valve core remover to leverage the spring back on the inside clamp, sort of like using a drum brake spring tool( I'm a car mechanic).
Wow, nicely done 😊👍
You rock and made it simple! I was watching another video that made me take the front panel apart etc. I got pissed in the middle of it so stopped. Decided to look for another video and I found yours! Thank you thank you for being quick and explaining things as you go! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so Much, I really appreciate it 😊😊😊
YOU'RE THE BEST Thank you for this, it saved us from completely pulling apart the machine. Thanks a million!!
Awesome,
Thank you 😊
I just used this method to replace mine. Was not that difficult and saved me big headache of having to pull out my washer. Thank you!
You need the tool! I had to take the top panel and top drum weight off to get the spring back in. It was very very difficult. A mini needle nose plier and a trampoline spring puller eventually got it for me
I’m glad you got it 👍
Great video - thanks. I may be the only one who had this problem, but after pulling off the gasket (and waiting a few days for the replacement), I completely forgot where the rear seal attached to. In retrospect (and now having sucessfully installed it), it's easy to see in your video where it goes. But having lost about 4 hours messing with it I thought I'd comment just in case someone has the same problem. There's a big round yellowish plastic ring that sits just outside the drum. The gasket PUSHES UNTO this ring, so that the gasket covers the ring on both sides. Thats why the author "lubed" the seal with detergent, as it makes it easier to slide the gasket unto the the ring. I actually called 3 appliance repair places to finish the job for me, but after hearing their prices I just slogged on and I'm glad I did. Again, great video. By the way, cleaning that drain hole was probably 99% of my issue. That thing was plugged about 70% and my washer has been dripping for at least a year.

Thank you so much for this video! It gave me the confidence to replace the door seal on my own washer this morning… ❤🎉 So well explained and helpful as I didn’t want to have to unstable my dryer in order to take apart the washer.
Nicely done👍😊
Thank you for the tutorial! Didn't have that tool, and without it is very necessary to remove the front panel. Getting the inner spring back on the new gasket was tricky. Finally got it to work by using a small loop of wire as a handle for pliers to grab the spring.
That’s a great idea👍😊
You can do it with a wrench, needle nose pliers, and a couple of zip ties.
Good info.
Thanks 👍
Having tried it both ways, it is FAR easier to remove the front panel. Taking the front off, only takes a few minutes, but it allows far easier access and ability to see what you are doing. Putting the inner seal onto the drum is a lot easier with front off.
Definitely easier to remove the front panel.
For me that's not an option since its stacked and tucked away in a closet.
Except perhaps not easier if you have to dismount the dryer first and pull both machines out of a tight closet, where they are mounted up and down...
The whistling is not only hilarious but an essential element to getting through this job, as thist demeanor is required! I noticed half the reviews on Amazon indicate that the inner expensive pliers did not close far enough and had to be adjusted on a vice to work - ever hear about that? Also someone mentioned using wooden kitchen spoons to hold the gasket out of the way? Very helpful video.
I did need to bend my pliers also to make them open enough.
It’s a good tool to have👍
Just got it done !
To anyone reading this, I highly recommend buying the correct LG spring tool.
I had to buy Circlip pliers that resembled the LG tool from my local hardware store, then modify it to get it on. This is after about 5 hours of trying to do it without the tool.
For the outer spring I found plastic tyre levers worked well.
Great video, thanks for the help !
Thanks Corey,
I’m glad you got it done👍
Truly a life saver! Thank you so much for posting this. Second time doing it and I took off the panels last time. Also..., get the tool.
Glad it helped!😊
Just finished with mine with this video's help. My thumbs! that last part was a doozie. I had to muster up the courage to press on through the pain. I was thinking: "My family needs this washer to work!" and "I mustn't fail!" Ouch!
Thanks for this video. Made it super easy to jump into.
Unfortunately for me, that tool I ordered came with the forks too far apart and I couldn't close the spring to the hook for the inside ring. I had to bend the tools forks together more with my vice. Got them to go from 5CM apart when closed to 2cm. That did the trick.
Wow,
Nicely done😊😊😊
Worked great. Thanks man!
You’re welcome😊
Nothing like deep cleaning a washing machine wearing a Rolex! Amazing!
That’s how you do it😂😂😂
This is the best video for me to do this work,
Thanks Owen👍
Thank you for the great tips! Oh, l used an automotive brake spring hook on the wire loop and a needle nose vice grip on the base spring loop. Went on fairly easy...
Wow,
Great idea😊😊😊
I the soap method along with a plastic bike tire lever to get the spring retaining wire on. Could not do it with thumbs alone. I used my left knee to hold the bottom left of the spring in and then worked the tire iron around the right side and down (and out) to stretch over the edge. Took 5 seconds that way but struggled for 25 minutes trying it without any tools.
Wow,
Very impressive .
Pretty hard to do without that spring tool.
Plastic bike tire lever was a great idea - I used two (with no soap) on both the inner and outer spring to get them back on, no LG tool needed. Could have probably used them to get the springs off as well.
For me the most work was getting the groove over the plastic hub all the way around (there I did use soap, as shown in the video) - after many failures it got easier (maybe the gasket got slightly stretched/looser with the repeated effort). Also reattaching the four hoses around the perimeter was not easy with the tight space, but by pulling out the hard plastic hose connector and attaching to the gasket side first (and clamping), hose side second, I eventually got them all on. A small pair of needle nose vice grips was useful for holding a hose clamp "open" around the hose while making the connection, then sliding it over and removing the vice grips to close the clamp in place.
I used 2 spring clamps to hold the rubber in place while using plastic tire irons. The spring ring kept slipping off at first or slipping behind the rubber piece. Good tip though ! That tool sucks lol
Thanks
Thanks for this video .
You’re welcome😊
Are you able to use the old spring clamps? Amazon wants to package the boot, removal tool and boot clamp. Doesn't seem likely I'd need a new clamp.
The old clamp will work fine👍
Great idea. However (on my machine) there is a sensor and two more small hose connectors at the 12-o'clock position of the gasket. Would those be problematic without removing the front cover?
Hi Pierre,
Great question.
You can still remove the gasket without taking off the front cover.
You just need to disconnect those tubes and the light at the 12 o’clock position and even though it’s cramped there is enough room to do it.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance This is my issue, too. If I get a new one, which one is this so I can do this easier next time?
Query, do you know if this method will work on the WM3270CW model?
Edit: The method being the 'Through the front method".
To quote "The Office" joke.. that's what she said! :).
thanks for the helpful video. while replacing my gasket i was reinstalling the bottom weight and must have hit that nipple for the gasket drain. this left a hole in the outer tank where it broke off flush with the outer body. I found an automotive bolt about the right size and got it to cut its own new threads in the plastic. I then backed it out and cut it short so it wouldn't come in contact with the inner drum, which I could see was behind it. I coated the bolt with aquarium silicone sealant and installed it snugly (in a bed of silicone). Even if this works in the short time, is there a better way of plugging a hole in the outer drum? It's that very hard tan plastic.
btw, i had to block the gasket drain for now. i figure we can wipe out anything leftover, but most of it should spill back into the drum as there is a path to it in the rubber gasket. Since I don't have a good way to feed it back into the outer drum, i may just run the tube to my overflow drain. Or is there some way of tapping it back into the outer drum? i don't think i have the option to replace the hole drum.
Yep,
You shouldn’t need that outer drain so just plugging it is good. Those drains usually fill up with crud anyway.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance you're right. mine was plugged completely so i didn't think it would make much difference, especially since there are holes in the rubber that allow any water collected there to drain into the drum. Wife has been using it for a few days now and no leaks, so I guess the bolt I used to block the hole in the outer drum is working. if it starts to leak at some point I guess I can try some JB Water Weld that I just learned about too.
Where on the spring does that inner tool fit? I'm having no luck with it at all.
Hi Mike, can you send me the same question and a picture of the tool to
Scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
While it is difficult, this can be done with two needle nose pliers, that’s how I did it.
Thank you 👍
Got an OEM gasket and it keeps falling off at the 1-2 o'clock position. So frustrating, after 4 hours I gave up for the night. Any suggestions to keep the gasket in place while installing the spring clamp?
Can you send some pictures of that to: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
I'm fighting with this exact problem..the rubber won't stay on in that same area too! How did you get it?
@@jakebrooks1985 - I wound up hiring an appliance repair person. He did the same exact method as in this video. He said that he failed many times before he could do it in minutes. Since I had the parts, it was $70 to get it done. Return the tool, then you are really looking at around $25 if you don’t DIY, because of that expensive specialty tool.
@@TripodsGarage ok thanks for the quick reply
Fair warning to anyone attempting - he makes it look A LOT easier than it is
Having the tool for the spring clamp makes it a lot easier 👍
This video is lot easier to fix without removing front panel door.
Thanks so much Cameron😊
Nice watch. Oh, the video is good as well.
Thanks so much👍
Sir should we leave spring on 6 o clock position only?
Front spring should be at 6:00.
Back spring at 3:00👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance thnk you for reply sir.
Thanks for sharing this video. I bought the tool. Something is not right. I have tried every which way and cannot get the inner spring back on.
Hi Liz,
Can you send a video of you using that tool to:
Scottthefixitguy@uahoo.com

Aren't there two hose at the top that needs reconnecting?
Some have 2 hoses👍
What's the seal part number?

Spring tool can be had on A internet market that might start with an A # 383EER4001A Washer Inner/Outer Tub 'Spring Expansion Tool', under $12; as well as # 4986ER0004F 'Washer Door Boot Gasket' OEM Parts Compatible with LG and Kenmore Replaces 4986ER0004J 4986ER0004K 4986ER0004N PS3524977 for $50; and then # 383EER3001S 383EER3001V 383EER3001E 'Washer Shock Absorber' Fit for LG Kenmore Elite '3 Pack Washing Machine Damper Assembly' for $37 for the 3 pack. Everything for just under $100 + tax. My boot actually tore a little because the shocks wore out. Made a temp. repair with 'Flex Tape' about $10 until the new parts came in. Retired (Cold War) soldier, not a plumber. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks so much David😊
Amazon sells a LG knock off spring tool for $14.
That’s so much cheaper👍
Yes- I found several on Amazon for $13-$17 usd.
Not the inner bent end spring tool which compresses, only outer spring tool which expands. I don't understand why someone doesn't make a knockoff off the inner tool - but looked even on ebay - no luck.
👍 👍 👍
Thank you👍
Mine squeeks now. Theres a partnof the rubber squeeking on the drum. Its on right too😡
I cant get the gasket front on by hand
Try using a flat head screwdriver in your right hand to help leverage the spring clamp back on.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance the problem is with the part before the spring .
Thanks for this video!
I tried hard to get that inner spring on without the special tool, but I couldn't do it and had to shell out the $40-50 to Amazon. At least it worked!
For the outer ring, it was killing my thumbs to do it the way you did in the video, but I couldn't figure out how to get the tool to help like other people claim to have done. The hook on the tool was facing the wrong way and it kept slipping off. So I had to suck it up and force it in with my thumbs and just deal with the soreness for the rest of the day!
Thanks for that advice with pushing the two hose clamps far down the tube. Super easy to handle that tricky part with your method.
That tool is $11.00 on Amazon
Can you send me a link?
Get washer cleaner and clean the washer and leave the door open
That should help👍
