LG Front Load Washing Machine Drain Pump Motor Replacement

简介

Follow this guide to replace the drain pump motor in your LG front load washing machine.

The drain pump motor is part of the pump assembly. It drains the tub and expels the wastewater out of the washer. If your washer isn't draining, you may need to replace this motor.

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.

Way to complicated. Unplug the machine. Tilt it back 45 degrees. The whole bottom of the machine is wide open. Unplug the blue and black wires. Loosen the three screws that hold the motor. Remove the motor and put in the new one. Tighten the three screws. Attach the two wires. Put the washing machine back on 4 legs. Plug in the machine.

Time to replace is about 15 minutes. I'm 74 so it takes that long.

Hi Ronald! I'm glad that worked out for you! Speedy too!

On the machine that we are showing (and many LG machines) the drain pump is hard to remove in the way that you describe because it is located with the end of the motor facing toward the outside of the machine. Access to the three screws holding the pump motor to the pump body is difficult because of this. Tilting the machine as described (45° to the rear) also subjects a number of components of the machine connected to the tub to forces in a direction that they don't normally encounter. That's why LG washers have shipping bolts that are removed (and saved) before placing the machine in service.

Some models have 2 pumps and you can not do it as you describe. With 2 pumps you need to follow this guide as you can not unscrew the second pump on the left side without removing the bracket it is attached to. This guide did not show that you need to remove the right pump first, it has 3 phillips screws which are on tight so get a long skinny phillips screw driver and you can reach them I used my phone camera so I could see the screws and just be firm so you don't strip screws. After you remove it you can access the 3rd bolt holding the pump bracket. Once you have the bracket you can undo the second drain pump. You don't need to do the part in this guide where they completely remove the pump housing with the couple screws on the bottom. Honestly this is an easy job IF everything goes right. For me, and I am ultra handy fix things all the time, I ran into several issues which made this job suck big time. But again not overly hard but mistakes were made, dropped a screw and had to search forever to find it.

How do I remove the small, black, filter pump hose? I already have everything else apart.

TJT - 回复

When you remove the pump body, the hose (I assume you are talking about the little drain hose) will go through the hole in the washing machine's frame. Remove the little end cap/plug and pull it through. Just remember to put it back when you replace everything. If you are talking about small black hoses connected to the circulating pump (our machine in the guide didn't have those). they are just secured with clamps.
