Washer Front Panel Door Boot Spring Clamp Assembly for LG Electronics 2W20017E Washing Machine Boot Steal Retaining Ring

This spring clamp fits very tight around the door making it difficult (impossible) to install without the proper tools. If it didn't fit so tight it wouldn't do the job it is designed to do, so do yourself a favor and buy both the clamp and the installation tool.

This was an exact match for the outer spring band on my LG WM2455HW washer. The old one was rusted and since I was replacing the rubber boot anyway I picked up this replacement. A perfect fit! Just make sure you buy the special spring pliers. While you might get away not using them on this outer band, the inner spring band is incredibly difficult to do without them. Spend the $9 on the pliers, you will thank me later. It took all of 10 minutes to replace everything using them.

This spring is a perfect fit however I do highly recommend buying the spring tool that goes with it. It's nearly impossible to put it on without that tool

The wire on this is thinner than OME. The hoops at the ends were to small for the tool that is used to install to fit in and when tension is applied as needed to install, the hoops open up making it impossible to install.I would NOT waste my money on this product.

I bought this clamp spring set to replace my outer front factory clamp and spring because the factory one has been reused twice now and the spring tension was not adequate to reuse a third time. This clam was the correct size and the spring was the correct size and tension however the eyelets and service loop on the springs were not to factory specs so the spring expansion tool would not fit as it does with the factory one which means I had to mod the spring and factory loops for it to work. Upon mod and spring expansion one of the loops on the clamp for the spring just broke off despite a very careful mod, causing me to simply use the new spring with my mod to the eyelets on the old factory clamp which ended up working fine in the end. Overall while it is not designed correctly in my opinion and definitely does not match the factory part I was happy to finish the project and get the laundry done. If you are not in a hurry I would go with a genuine factory part from LG however it was a 2 week wait time for that. Would I do this again, 50/50 for me.

My LG washer threw an OE code (drain pump problem) I watched a few YouTube videos and found the correct drain pump replacement. It arrived in two days and we had the pump replaced in 25 minutes. Problem fixed (Go though the bottom and use drain access, so much easier than taking the control panel and front off.). I can’t imagine how much money we saved.

Fits, Works as advertised

We ordered this when we were doing some repairs on our washer. The old ring was fairly easy to get off but we noticed it was very rusted and was going to break at anytime so ordered a new one. The new ones are quite difficulty to get on but it is because they need to be tight around the rubber gasket so the machine doesn't leak. We used 2 pairs of pliers with each of us holding a pair and pulling the ring to clasp it. It took a few tries and my father in law coming to help and it is done. No more leaking rubber gasket on our front loader.
