Beaquicy 4434ER0003C Rear Drum Support (Spider) - Replacement for Ken-more L-G Washing Machine - Flange Shaft Assembly Replaces 4434ER0003A 4434ER0003B

The fit was exact.

I would highly recommend buying this aftermarket part based on my bad experience with the OEM parts as outlined below, which caused a long delay in fixing my washing machine, which did not make anyone happy in my household.I ordered (2) OEM parts of Amazon, the second after the first came and was really a poor quality casting with multiple cracks (not just surface defects) and one flange bent. So had Amazon replace that one, and at the same time ordered one from my local appliance store. The second OEM part from Amazon and the OEM part from the local appliance store had nearly identical issues to the first, cracks and at least one bent flange, on two of the parts the bent flange was the same one that was cracked and on the third part it was a different flange than the one that had cracks in it.After all that monkey motion and a trip to the laundromat, this aftermarket part finally came (the first aftermarket part I ordered was cancelled by Amazon for some reason unknown to anyone but some Amazon computer algorithm) it was a sight for sore eyes, a very nice casting identical in geometry to the OEM part without all the defects. I'm flabbergasted that a company that is so highly rated for their products would have the gall to sell such poor quality OEM replacement parts. Obviously building a good part is possible these guys did it. The original manufacturer should throw away all the crappy OEM parts they have in stock and contract with these guys to build parts to save people the frustration I went through.A few notes on installation, I got two of the three legs pretty close to lined up with their holes by tapping with a deadblow or rubber mallet, and then gave the third leg a good whack to get it popped in. There may be a better way, but that's how I did it. Taking the old one out was no picnic, fortunately mine was so corroded it basically broke into pieces as I as trying to take it out. The third photo is of my old corroded part.

Recently I moved into a new house. It came with an LG washer. My old lady did some laundry while i was at work and it melted our comforter and started smoking. So clearly simmering was wrong here. I quickly realized I was poised with the option to either replace my LG washer I inherited with my new home, or buy one for $600 plus. I looked online and saw that this part broke so commonly that there were multiple walkthrough videos on replacing it. So I took the washer apart down to the gear and saw that the original part was broken into FOUR SEPARATE PIECES. With a tub of elbow grease, and a 12 pack of beer later, I replaced the part and got this bad mother running again. Now I have clean laundry that isn’t melted, burned or destroyed.

Spiders for front load washers crack and deteriorate and fail quite often. I wasn't happy to see casing flaws that looked like the beginning of the exact problem I had with my washer. While it worked fine after installation I suspect this would have limited life.Not that I know how to replace a drum spider I can replace it again in 2 hours so I am not too worried about it failing.

The support was cheaper than buying a new machine. I followed a video on YouTube that was a step by step installation. The wife is happy. "Happy wife happy life".
