The LG 4280FR4048N Washer Tub Bearing is designed to support the spin-basket shaft and allow the basket to rotate smoothly within the tub assembly. LG Canada identifies 4280FR4048N as the current replacement or alternate where original bearing 4280EN4001C was specified. It replaces 4280EN4001C, 4280EN4001T, 4280FR4048D, 4280FR4048L, 4280FR4048S and MAP62554001 when fitment is confirmed by the appliance model number. MAP61913708 appears as an LG equivalent/interchange reference and is not included in the verified directional supersession chain.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar bearings may differ in inner diameter, outer diameter, width, or bearing designation.

Common Symptoms

• Loud rumbling or grinding during spin cycle
• Excessive vibration during spin
• Rough or irregular basket rotation
• Abnormal basket movement or wobble
• Difficulty reaching normal spin speed
• Water leakage associated with bearing or seal deterioration

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the noise occurs during spin, not agitation or drain — isolates bearing from pump or motor
• Check shock absorbers and suspension springs — worn suspension produces similar vibration and noise
• Inspect the tub shaft seal (4036ER2004A) — a failed seal accelerates bearing wear and may cause leaks
• Verify load balance — unbalanced loads mimic bearing noise and vibration
• Check the second tub bearing — both bearings often wear together and may need replacement as a set

Part Details

This part does not include: the second tub bearing, the tub shaft seal (4036ER2004A), the rear-tub gasket (4036ER4001B), the basket spider or shaft, the complete rear outer tub, or a complete bearing-and-seal kit. Confirm the selected variant before ordering.

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning.
2. Photograph wiring, hose routing, clamp positions, and mounting points before disassembly.
3. Compare the new bearing with the original before installation — confirm inner diameter, outer diameter, and width.
4. Inspect the tub shaft seal, second bearing, and spider assembly for wear while the tub is open.
5. Reassemble, restore power and water, then run a test cycle and check for noise, vibration, or leaks.

Use a qualified appliance technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
