LG F1222TD has started vibrating wildly

Re: LG F1222TD has started vibrating wildly

Answered only in general terms. LG vibration on spin with no jack hammer knocking noises and that the drum bearings are not the issue and that the front panel hasn`t loose screws. Most likely your suspension has worn out as it is fairly common, remove the rear cover to have a good look, your looking for residue of the damping felt on the susp leg and on the chassis X beam. If you remove the lid and push down on the tank and go side to side movement on the tank and the whole show shows very little reistance it`ll be a good sign your susp legs have had it. replace as a set not just the one that is zapped. Also note that if looking from the rear if the chrome coloured lower metal part of the leg on the right hand side shows sign of rust you have a small leak and that is usually because there is a wear hole in the dispenser to tank pipe-also fairly common too.
I`ve never been able to replace the suspension legs ( and to be honest it has been a while! ) other than by removing the front panel though it is fairly easy to do from memory but watch the plinth screws and a hidden screw near the filter and although it should not be necessary I always mark the pcb fascia wire terminal blocks just to be on the safe side; the fascia panel other than the dispenser screws is held on by 3 screws along the top.Suspension leg x1 part number lge383eer3001f should be able to buy a pair for less than 20 quid. To get the white plastic `dowels` that go through each susp legs, 1 at the top 1 at the bottom use either a 13mm or might be a 12mm ring spanner to release the locking tangs and then gently prise using a pair of angled pliers as a lever to pull them out, use an open ended 17mm or 19mm spanner to gain more leverage placed under the pliers as you go. Best of luck and er….don`t forget to pull out the mains plug 1st please!

Hi. Can`t be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure it is the right LG service manual but looks believable, I don`t make a habit of using manuals myself except fault codes and even then I`m secptical to take those at face value, so maybe you can change the suspension from the rear ……I have my doubts to be honest despite whatever the service manual points to, I`m sure I tried it once on the first one I got lumbered with, gave up, and attacked the Korean blighter with the front panel removed and all was well.
Since the machine has a plastic base I think your also going to struggle to physically get at the suspension from the rear at least with the upper dowel. Big tank, smallish back, wretched base = not alot of room but try it and let me know if you can remove the potential offenders and if you can do that then you can replace them! What I do on reassembly is use a bit of grease or washing up liquid on the new dowel and run a bit around the suspension dowel holes to make it all easier as the dowel is tapped through the locating tank holes.
