Sunluway Front-Load Washer Bearing & Seal Kit for LG & Kenmore — 72×30mm & 62×25mm Pre-Greased Bearings, Reinforced Tub Seals

Sunluway front-load washer tub bearings and seal kit replaces worn bearings and seals (4036ER2004A, 4036ER4001B, 4280FR4048L, 4280FR4048E) to stop noise, leaks and restore smooth drum rotation.

If your front-load washer is thumping, leaking, or wobbling, this Sunluway replacement kit contains the common mechanical parts technicians replace to return many LG and Kenmore models to reliable service. The kit includes two sizes of steel bearings (pre-greased with double rubber seals) and two tub seals made from durable rubbers and steel reinforcement. It’s designed for experienced DIYers or repair professionals who can disassemble the front tub and replace bearings and seals safely.

Which parts are included and what do they do?

The kit supplies the tub seal (4036ER2004A), a tub seal gasket (4036ER4001B), a large bearing (4280FR4048L) and a small bearing (4280FR4048E). Bearings support the drum spindle and allow smooth rotation; the seals keep water out of the bearing area to prevent corrosion and lubricant loss.

• Tub seal 4036ER2004A: reinforced fluororubber with steel plate for long life.
• Tub seal gasket 4036ER4001B: silicone rubber for tight sealing between components.
• Large bearing 4280FR4048L: OD 72mm, bore 30mm, pre-lubed double seal.
• Small bearing 4280FR4048E: OD 62mm, bore 25mm, pre-lubed double seal.

How will this kit fix noisy, shaking or leaking washers?

Worn bearings create grinding or rumbling noises and allow lateral drum play, which causes vibration and movement. Damaged or hardened tub seals let water reach the bearings and mounting areas, producing leaks and accelerated wear. Replacing both bearings and seals addresses the root mechanical causes.

• Eliminates metal-on-metal grinding and reduces vibration.
• Stops leaks by restoring proper sealing surface and compression.
• Pre-greased bearings reduce installation run-in time and friction.

Will these parts fit my washer model?

The kit is compatible with many LG and Kenmore/Sears front-load washers that use bearings sized 72×30mm and 62×25mm and tub seals listed above. It is essential to confirm your model’s part numbers or measure the existing bearings and seals before ordering; incorrect sizing means the parts will not work.

• Check your washer’s service manual or the old parts for matching numbers: 4036ER2004A, 4036ER4001B, 4280FR4048L, 4280FR4048E.
• Measure outer diameter and bore if numbers are missing: 72mm/30mm and 62mm/25mm.
• If your model isn’t listed or sizes differ, do not assume compatibility.

What do I need to know before attempting installation?

Replacing tub bearings and seals is a hands-on repair that requires tools, time, and mechanical experience. Disconnect power and water, work on a stable surface, and follow step-by-step guidance. If you’re not comfortable with disassembly or precise press-fitting of bearings, consider a professional repair to avoid further damage.

• Turn off power supply and water before beginning the repair.
• Common tools: socket set, bearing puller/press, seal driver, torque wrench, and safety gear.
• Take photos during disassembly to aid correct reassembly and torque specifications.

Who this kit is for: This Sunluway set is intended for homeowners experienced with appliance repair, independent repair technicians, and anyone repairing compatible LG or Kenmore front-load washers who needs the exact bearing sizes and tub seal part numbers specified. It saves the cost of a full drum replacement when the failure is confined to bearings and seals, but it requires careful measurement and correct installation to achieve lasting results.
