Customer Concern
The homeowner in Wheat Ridge called after their LG front-load washer's door gasket tore. They reported that the damage occurred during what they described as an out-of-balance load. During the intake conversation, we asked for a photo of the model label so we could identify the correct replacement part before the visit.
Preparing for the Repair Before Arrival
Obtaining the model photo during intake allowed us to identify the correct gasket for the WM4000HBA and order it ahead of the appointment. Cody and Shane arrived with the replacement part ready to install, avoiding a return visit to source the part.
Confirming the Damage
On arrival, Cody and Shane inspected the door gasket and confirmed that it was torn in multiple places. The close-up photos show the damage both with the gasket still installed on the machine and after it was removed.
Installing the New Door Gasket
Cody and Shane removed the damaged gasket and installed the replacement. During installation, Cody used an LG specialty spring tool to position and seat the inner retaining spring properly inside the gasket channel. The final installation photo shows Cody carefully aligning the gasket's outer lip around the washer's front opening before securing the outer retaining clamp.
Diagnostics and Leak Testing
After completing the installation, we ran the washer through diagnostics and tested for leaks to verify the new gasket's seal. The washer passed both checks.
