383EER4004A/383EER4001A Washing Machine Inner/Outer Spring Expansion Tool Washer Door Boot Seal Clamp Ring Removal Tool For 4986ER0004F/B/G, LG, Samsung, Kenmore, Whirlpool

Was exactly the tool I needed to remove and reinstall the spring loaded ring on my LG front load washing machine tub ring. Worked as exactly as described. Easy to use.

You need this tool, well worth the price.

The bill quality is decent, and it obviously has minimal functionality beyond its design. However, it does what it is supposed to do very effectively.

Bought this for my LG laundry tower combo. Needed to replace my front loader bellow seal. Works as advertised for the outer wire/spring for the seal to door. Did not work for the seal to tub wire/spring. The hole for the spring was too small for the prongs. I did not have my grinder on me or shaving down the prongs may have worked. Still it could have broken to go much thinner. Also still requires a bit of muscling once the plies handles are already bottoming out against each other, still requires a bit of muscling with a flat screw driver to pop the wire over the seal which this tool was supposed to eliminate the use of the screw driver, seems the prongs could be a bit longer to provide more spreading distance. Over all, this is the 7th seal I've replace, this being the only one using this tool and the only LG I've done this one, previous, I've used a narrow stiff putty knife I've blunted to protect the seal to seat the wire/spring and that worked but it's a struggle with only two hands, better when I asked my wife to help. I imagine that if the tool was better to fit the hole at the ends of the spring and was able to spread another 1/2 inch or so, I'd rate it perfect at 5 stars but for the money and much less aggravation, I'd use this tool every time albeit with the prongs shaven down a bit to fit the ends of the spring, It is probably a combination of the loops on my spring being on the small end and the tool I got on the larger end and the combined tolerance made my job a bit harder. Next time, if there's a next time, I think I'd order replacement spring at the same time as the seal. I still recommend this tool unless you have great dexterity and a third arm or a helper. Very good if not great tool with a minor quirk on my copy of the tool.

Was getting the "dE" error with the latch refusing to lock the LG washer door closed intermittently. Wow, probably one of the easiest appliance repairs I've ever done (when combined with a ~$20 replacement latch) - worked flawlessly to remove the spring-loaded retaining ring on the washer door gasket, allowing the quick replacement of the latch mechanism. All in, 10 to 15 minutes. Quick tip, use a flat head screwdriver to gently pull the plug off of the old latch mechanism after disengaging the plug clip on the back side.

Will not work on Samsung do to the end of the prongs being too big to fit in the spring, and the band has ends bent down not circle , Pliers just slip it in one side that has a crimped horseshoe end

This is a must for releasing and installing the springs on the washer door seal. Easy to use. I have other spring applications that this item will definitely help. Cannot beat the price as well!

so glad we got these pliers to help us install the new rubber seal on our washing machine. It fit into the sockets perfectly so that we could get the seal on and off. Easy to use! We’re glad to now have this tool in our house to use in the future!

Its not a everyday tool but it does what ot meant for. Good quality and easy to use , used it to fix the washmachine spring and it works . Works for LG Direct Drive washmachine. Recommended
