Thanks for the great instructions! I would like to disassemble the front hatch to move the machine through a narrow door. Do I just need to unscrew it from the front panel, or will the mounting bracket inside come loose and fall into the machine? My washer model is FV96JNS2QE, but it looks very similar to the one in the video.
Thanks for this - I performed similar steps to replace the gasket on my LG WV9 1409. Whilst I could remove the gasket without taking out the heavy weights, I found it next to impossible to reinstall the rear spring with the weights in place. It was far easier to remove the weights on each side and install the gasket with 3d multi assembly disconnected. The biggest issue I had was installing the front spring clip. The tool I had from amazon did not expand the spring sufficiently to get it to properly surround the gasket in the required channel. I ended up having to make my own jig to stretch the spring sufficiently. I did this by way of a long threaded rod with two inner nuts and two large outer washers. the washers had a hole drilled in each that allowed me to connect a cable tie to each end of the spring. I then unwound the inner nuts on each side to push the washers out and thus expand the spring.
Thank you for elaborate response and input. Reason for making the video without removingthe weights is the fact that there are strict and critical requirements for the torque setting of the balance weights and not everyone has such a torque wrench.
Professional sound and good.

My machine is 3 years old and seems to rust somewhere inside. Ever white wash is brown and the drain water as well...
