Product review (5 stars): Metal Chunks in Lint Basket Gone for Good
Perfect replacement for our LG TROMM washer.  Changed out bearings, gasket and seal.  This gasket is what gave us the indication that the bearings were about to go bad.  Well, in a way.  We started finding chunks of metal in the lint basket but we were not sure where they came from.  After multiple washes, we were convinced that it was not something from our clothes but part of the machine and we had a bit of a water leak with heavier loads.  We ordered both bearings, the gasket, and the drum seal from Amazon then replaced using a video we found online.  It took quite a bit of time for two of us but when we reached the old gasket, it became very clear that the chunks of metal were coming from the top center ring.  I imagine we saved several hundred dollars doing the repair ourselves and so happy we found it before the gasket broke thru entirely and seized / damaged the bearings.
