In the last couple of days it starts with a grind and now is banging very loudly. Inside drum seems to be stable with no extracurricular movement. I am afraid to continue using it. I have a little experience at this but not with this make and model. Can anyone help?

This can be purchased @ LG 4434ER0002D Spider - AppliancePartsPros.com this link also includes a video. If the tub is firm and doesn't move independent of the outer tub then the bearings may be bad LG 4280FR4048L Bearing - AppliancePartsPros.com and LG 4280FR4048E Bearing - AppliancePartsPros.com these links also include a repair video.
