Re: List of washers with sealed/welded tubs
LG washing machines can be viewed similar to welded tub even though it’s not. Why is that? Simple… Direct drive motor eliminates the noise and even with the bearings on its way out, the customer don’t seem to noticed it until it rattles like a banging drum.
At this point it’s too late to rescue the machine as the bearings ground out the shaft because of the weight of the motor. The new bearings will not fit as the shaft is too big caused by the grounding. In theory LG can be added to the list? Don’t know about Samsung but I guess with same technology of direct drive motor its bound to have same problems.
