Use this guide to replace the dampers in your LG WM3050CW Washing Machine.
This model has three dampers. The dampers support the drum while reducing the vibration transmitted to the chassis. If a damper is worn out or broken, the washer can become unbalanced during a wash cycle, resulting in excessive machine wobble and component damage.
The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.
