I have an LG WM1812CW washing machine. It started doing a weird spinning that sounded like a jet plane. Then it started making horrible noises. So, I just replaced both bearings, seal and tub gasket. The bearings were terrible. Put it back together and tested it spinning manually and then continued. However, we never checked after we reinstalled the stator assembly and cover. There was a crack in one of the magnets but everything looked ok except a fair amount of rust color which seems like its not uncommon looking at some videos. Is it possible we didnt install the stator properly or too tightly, etc
Or could that little crack matter? So, we plugged it in and now it makes a sound when spinning almost like its hitting something or catching on something.
We pulled the top off and spun it manually and as stated above, it sounds and feels like the metal tub is catching something. Could the problem be the stator or the rotor assembly? Did I fix the wrong thing?
Any thoughts?
I appreciate the help!
Also, this is the video I used to repair
