LG F4V309WNE squeak at slow speeds

[Scotgr]

Hi,

I have the above washing machine literally 1 year old and it’s developed this odd squeak.

Exactly the same as this video:

I have cleaned the filter and ran several tub clean cycles and it is still there.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave thanks for the reply. Is that something that’s easy fixed. I’m in the process of getting lg out to have a look as it is still under warranty.

Thanks

if its under warranty then let them do it

if that is what it is you would have to take out the inner drum and lubricate the seal

big job

Thanks Dave,

Yes I’m definitely letting them deal with it. Im just trying to get as much info as possible.

I will try and remember to post here once it’s sorted with what happens.

Thanks

Could well be oil seal dry as a bone ( size should be 37x76x9.5 ) BUT that is pretty rare. Could equally be something to do with the door seal rubbing on the drum or the drum rubbing on the door seal due to a concentic drum but at 1 year old that too is unlikely BUT it is possible ( it is after all C21st where any disaster is conceivable!! ). Best bet is to stick bonce into the machine and look up at how the door seal is sitting relative to the drum. Ye old trick was to use washing up liquid on the door seal where it meets the drum and then revolve the drum and see if the noise disappears since the w/liquid acts as a lubricant – do not go mad with the w/liquid if you want to try this but the idea is to separate between a very similar door seal rubbing noise from an inacessable oil seal noise.
