F1378FYN7 LG Washer - Instructions

Do not start this project without the required spring expansion tool for the retaining ring springs.
Nearly impossible without it.

Super straightforward to diagnose and repair.

There was puddle under the washer.

I removed the top (screws in rear, slide top toward rear slightly and lift) and followed the trail of water up to the top washer hose between the drum and detergent tray.

Two hose clamps to remove and replace, then replace the top and ready to go.

I used another magnet to pull the old plunger out of the door and replaced it with the new part.

Just put in the new one.

removed top and front. heater is at the base of the tub. the nut compresses the rubber seal and may take some wiggling to remove the old one.

Used Youtube to look for a set of repair instructions. From start to end 35 min.

The difficult part was getting the door back on. Only 1 Youtube video I watched stated Do not remove the 2 center screws at the top. Wish I had seen that video first.

Overall very easy to do.

Got new door gasket, watched several Youtube videos of repair process. Followed several combinations of the process, which were accurate and it went ok. Met with the described difficulty re-installing the boot due to the spring installation. The use of vise grips for the second spring was the best piece of advice, as the spring tool did not work for that specific process. Door did not want line up exactly the way it came off, causing some concern about the door lock, and possible leaking. After install, it seems to work ok on those accounts. Have only run large bulky items since, which cause many "OE" issues. have not tried a normal load yet, but I think it will be ok.

It went great. First of all, thank you Part Select for the video on how to do this myself. My home warranty company was giving me a hard time. Blah, blah, blah. A mechanic friend of mine referred me to this site. Within minutes I found the part I need and a GREAT!!!! price. Ordered it, got it super fast, fixed it my self and my second hand washer is no longer peeing all over the floor. Very very happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer, hopefully not anytime soon.
Thank you again for an amazing experience.

Order the part through PartsSelect. It arrived in a few days and I (an 81 year old woman) replaced it within minutes with no help needed. It was super easy.

the magnetic door plunger fell on the floor, would not stay in place and did not hold the door closed. Received a new on, put it in place. works just like it is supposed to. took all of 2 seconds. great service from
Partselect. got the new part in less than a week.

Thank you

Line up the plunger with the existing slots in the door and push in.

NOTE: When testing it was evident that the magnet was not as strong as the original one. I would rate as one step up from useless.

just put new part in very simple only problem was shipping yall used fedex went to 4 states and one state twice they finally gave it to USPS so it took almost 9 days to get here

I already had the top of the washer open, from previous disassembly to clean the front loader seal, and when I ran a trial load, noticed a small 1/4" tear in the hose bellows that attaches to the drum.

Very simple repair, remove the existing hose by loosening the clamps, paying attention to their orientation. Install the existing hose clamps onto the new hose, install and tighten the hose clamps.

5 minute job, if the washer top is off (which is also simple).

Followed instructions on YouTube link. Replaced the shock absorber and washer is working really well.

Removed the front and rear covers ,the control panel , removed the shock absorber pins and shocks installed new shocks and reassembled
