LG Bolt Assembly FAA31690703 OEM Part

Washing machine models from LG and Sears-Kenmore include shipping bolts intended to stabilize the drum during transport. These bolts play a vital role in preventing potential damage, ensuring the drum remains secure and minimizing unwanted movement and vibrations in transit.

Before operating the washing machine, users must remove these bolts. Failure to do so can result in increased vibration, noise, and possible harm to internal components. Additionally, it is essential to reinstall the bolts before relocating the machine to prevent the drum from shifting freely, which could lead to damage.

Indicators of the necessity to either remove or reinstall shipping bolts include:

- A noticeable increase in noise or vibrations during machine operation, suggesting that the bolts have not been detached post-installation.
- Damage to the drum or the suspension system following appliance relocation without the bolts being correctly secured.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is designed to fit LG and Kenmore/Sears washing machines effectively.
