How to Remove the Front Panel in Your LG Front Load Washing Machine

简介

Use this guide to remove the front panel in your LG front load washing machine.

Removing the front panel gives you access to the drain pump assembly as well as the drain hose.

This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.
