Product review (5 stars): This worked perfect for my LG front loader
This worked perfect for my LG front loader. I ordered it and received it the same day. Some people say it didn't work for their washer, but if you put the correct model # in, and it says it is compatible, then it should work. I installed it myself (55 year old woman that is somewhat handy) It went pretty smoothly thanks to the videos.  I turned off the circuit at the breaker and installed it through the front by moving the gasket out of the way.  I did need another pair of hands to get the tension ring back on the gasket. FYI
I got a quote from an LG certified repair man for $269 and I would have to wait 4-5 days because of the holiday and because he would have to order the part. This is a common part fail for many washers, so for that price I would expect him to have it on the truck and to get it done right away.  I cannot wait 4-5 days as we are a family of 5 and need our washer! I am thrilled I tackled it myself and it all worked out.
PS The part does look different and is a different shape, but it worked.  My experience with aftermarket parts for appliances do sometimes look different.
