In this repair

We recently had a call from a customer in Charlotte, NC 28209, who was concerned about the performance of their LG front-load washer. The machine was draining properly, but it was taking far longer than it should. We made an appointment to visit the home and inspect the machine.

The LG washer repair

On arrival, we assessed the drain pump and checked the filter. We found debris in the filter, so we cleaned it. More concerning, we found that the pump was in poor condition. We had to replace it. WE explained the situation to the homeowner, who agreed that the repair was necessary and gave us the go-ahead.

Part number 4681EA2001T replaced the old pump. It’s the item in the LG box in the repair photos.

The test results

With the new pump installed, we added water to the washer and ran the drain function. The water drained quickly. It was a clear improvement over the slow drainage previously reported. We completed the repair in a single visit
