【UPGRADED】4434ER0002H 4434ER0002D 4434ER0002A Rear Drum Spider by Beaquicy-replace the AP5592038 lg spider washer spinner support on the wm2455hg,wm2050cw,wm2487hwm,WM3050cw wm3470hva,wm3875,etc

I used this for my LG washer. Product was machined well and fit good. One month of hard use and it's still working. Hopefully the last time I ever have to do that job, because it was a big one! I had to replace bearings and inner seal that were bad. I ordered this spider arm just in case. Glad I had it on hand. The old spider shaft was badly corroded which made it Very difficult to remove. I had to beat it hard to get it out. The spider arm wasn't cracked, but the surface on the shaft was so corroded and pitted that it would have been stupid to reuse it. So I replaced the spider arm/ shaft. For the bearings, I ended up going with the higher end Japanese bearings and am glad I did because if I ever have to do this again, I'll likely just replace the washer. Make sure you order a new tub seal. You don't want to go through all the trouble of replacing bearings, the spider arm, inner seal only to find that the outer tub leaks because you skimped on a cheap tub seal and reused the old one. Lastly, I scrubbed the tub and all the parts clean before reassembling. Smells a lot better. You might want to do the same while it's all apart. Hope that helps. Have fun with your project!

Worked perfectly

I originally thought that our 15-year-old LG washer needed new bearings because it was making a lot of noise and clunking. But after taking apart the tub, it was clear not only were the bearings worn out but the spider arm was fractured, severely pitted, and brittle. As seen in the pic, the old spider arm, which broke into pieces once removed, was identical to the new. This fit perfectly and our washer, equipped with this new arm and a new set of bearings, now sounds and performs like new again.HELPFUL HINT: The factory-installed bolts have a threadlocking compound that must be broken free before you can remove the spider arm from the stainless steel tub. To remove the bolts, gently but firmly TIGHTEN the bolts just a tad to get them moving. Then gently loosen the bolts just a bit, then tighten a bit again, then loosen a bit more, then tighten, then loosen a bit more again, etc. By doing it this way, you will avoid destroying the plastic pieces that hold the nuts in place. For me, all six bolts came out using this method with no issues at all. To reassemble, I first cleaned up the holes by threading in each bolt loosely and then removing again to get rid of some of the old gunk that stuck to the bolt threads. Then, after cleaning the bolt threads thoroughly with a small wire brush, I applied blue threadlocker and snugged them down.

Apparently, the original drum spiders on the LG front loading washers are weak and totally fail after a certain amount of time. It's either a bad design or a planned failure by LG and should be replaced by LG when these things break. Unfortunately, LG will not stand by their product, so you're on your own.Luckily these replacement spiders are easy to install, priced fairly and fit perfectly.

This piece is a beast, and them some, to replace if the 6xbolts are rusted in place, but shouldn't be too difficult to swap out for anyone with decent mechanical abilities.

Good replacement.

So far so good. It fit perfectly and saved me hundreds of dollars.

Perfect fit
