LG FWV796WTSE Washer Dryer Drum Squeal & Burning Smell

I will try and help with this problem about LG FWV796WTSE Washer Dryer,

Hi Martin,

Thanks very much for your question and the videos you sent. The noise you're hearing is the drum touching the door seal. This is a distinctive sound. Usually, it's because the drum has warped or the spider has been damaged. The spider holds the drum to the shaft that goes through the bearings. It's made from aluminium and can sometimes corrode and fracture. When it fractures, the drum misaligns inside the tub and starts catching on the door seal.

The burning smell you mentioned comes from the drum touching the rubber at high speed, which causes this type of smell. This is a common fault, especially in LG machines, as some spiders corrode quickly due to electrolysis.

To fix this problem, you'll need to take the drum out of the machine and strip it down. Make sure the silver drum itself isn't damaged before replacing the spider. You might need to replace both the spider and the drum.

I've put a link above to all the spare parts for this machine. If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact us.

All the best,
Paul
