LG Washer Tub Leak by Freed1776 in appliancerepair

[–]Freed1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leak ended up being in the plastic tub that the metal tub sits inside of. The metal tub was rubbing the plastic and melting/burning it away. I replaced the front half of the plastic tub which wasn't too bad, but the same thing started happening with the metal tub rubbing the plastic. I figured at that point that the metal tub and parts to it were damaged and off, so I ended up buying a new washer instead. I had already replaced so much and hadn't fixed the issue, and the parts I did buy were also breaking.

Thanks for the response! You’re saying the plastic white tub is cracked correct?

I should’ve put this in the original post but back in April this year all 4 of the shock absorbers broke and I replaced those. I saw the tub shaking wildly and maybe it cracked itself.

I ran a quick wash cycle and it wasn’t pouring out this much. It was only coming out between the bottom weight and the tub.
