Thanks for the fantastic instructional video. Probably saved me from buying a brand new dishwasher.

I ordered these rods but now the tub sits too high and I can’t put the top back on. Any ideas on what the problem is? My washer is inoperable now. It’s the exact same model and ordered the same aftermarket rods.

This video just saved me at least $300. THANK YOU!

This guys instructions were dead on. I ordered the relacement sensor from Amazon, replaced the old sensor and my LG Washing Machine is spinning like new!

I get a LE error code. But it won’t drain. The motor was very dirty but the motor seemed to be fine, resistance when turning. Ideas?

What if that switch keeps going off and you’re having to reset it about every month. What could be the reason for it?

Hi, I just attempted the fix described on my LG WM3170CW using parts LG6501KW2002A and 6877ER1016H. Unfortunately, the washer went from spinning poorly before declaring LE, to wiggling the drum a quarter inch with every attempted cycle before giving up after two minutes and throwing up an LE error code. Do you have suggestions as to what I should do in this situation? I believe the rotor splines are engaging the drum (hope I got the terms right), as they do all spin, though with some resistance. (Resistance is a best guess, it’s been a week since it ran properly) Thank you for your very helpful video, I appreciate your making it.

I replaced mine as well and still bangs... How ever, it maybe that I did not grease the new rods, so buying grease and tryng again...

7/16/2024: I followed your video instructions, and I'm glad to say that your guidance was spot on as the solution worked the first time. You made it a very pleasant experience, and the replacement part was less than $10 to resolve the LE error. Getting the tech here just to to diagnose the issue was going to cost $119. Sweat equity did it. Many thanks for the assist! ✌

You are a Legend , saved do much time and pain , doing it this way wow those other guys could learn a lot.form.you

Thanks from Northern CA (and thanks for the quick reply). Big time saver for a part that breaks every two years. I was given multiple estimates from $350-$150 for labor and $100 for the part (bought it for $32 on Amazon). I recommend latex gloves to avoid cuts from the sharp metal inside. The LG model I worked on is an all-in-one washer/dryer but the components are basically the same. I kept the hoses on for convenience and shut off the water to the house. I did it a bit differently- I removed the two screws holding the rubber grommets to the pump/pump housing and was able to twist it to get access to the screws (only two were there) for the pump. Also recommend reading the comments from others as they had helpful tips as well. Take your time, folks, and you'll get it done!

Thanks for the best video, your instructions were easy to follow and greatly simplified the task. The pump was successfully changed in less than 20 minutes.

Thank you so much! I followed your video step by step and it work! You saved a lot of money ❤.

@appliancerepairamerican Thanks for posting this. Trying to help my grandmother out and wondering if it’s necessary to remove the hot and cold water hoses from the machine to do this installation? Kind of a pain on her machine would rather just keep them on if that works.

I bigger pro tip is to use painters tape 😎

I’ve replaced mine multiple times and still out of balance. Ideas?

So no need to take apart the front assembly

I tried this. The pump you can access from bottom on my LG is circulating pump. The drain pump is in left corner of unit. No way to get it without taking apart washer.

Just fixed my washer with a $11 part from Amazon and 20 minutes of work. Great video… thank you!

I opened up the back of my lg front loading washer machine Used my 17 millimeter socket removed the rotor Then removed the six 10 millimeter bolts And my washing machines Copper coil only has one clip that I needed to remove before removing the copper coil and then to my surprise It doesn’t have a (Hall sensor ) So dang I already ordered it and ready to slap it back together but no dice I guess I have a different LG front loader then the one in the video I did see some rust on the magnets and the I guess I will try and use a wire brush and clean it up Maybe that will work If anyone has a suggestion please let me know If I end up fixing it I will add it to my comment

Will this technique work on the compact LG washer/dryer all in one combo?

Thanks for the video, but I have a couple suggestions that should make it easier for beginners like myself. 1. Mention that the metal on the inside is EXTREMELY sharp. I cut myself on the forearm which required six stitches. 2. Take an existing rod out and measure it before you order. I have the exact same model that is used in your video. I used the link in the description to order the rods. I verified that the model number was listed in the description on the Amazon ordering page. The rods that came were just over 26", while the existing rods are 27". 3. Instead of trying to use one hand to disconnect the tension cables (this is where I cut my arm), remove the pack panel of the washing machine. This is done by removing the four screws on the back. This opens up the back of the machine allowing greater access to the suspension cables. 4. Be really careful while the lid is being propped up. If it slips, like it did on me one runs the risk of disconnecting some existing cables. This happened to me and cut the grounding wires (green, green/yellow wire) on the rear left side. 5. Like someone mentioned before, do a re-calibration before using. I'm bringing these issue up so others don't make the same mistakes that happened to me. I have replaced the rods and the washing machine works like new. Thanks again for the video.

Do you know if this pump is the same for washer lg wt6105cw

You note you checked “underneath” for clogs as a part of your diagnosis. How does one do that?

Repair went great. Powered on to find out I forgot to reattach the door switch connector. Now I’m debating just buying a new washer.

Are the Amazon rods junk? I've done this twice using the ones from Amazon and both pretty much failed within a month. Or could it be something else?

Your the man bro..

Thank you so much!!!!! I was able to fix my washer all by myself!!!!

😂 why r u using a drill to unscrew stuff? Lummy

You just saved me a $200 service charge!

All of the retaining screws were missing on my pump except one on the front right below the screw out strainer… I had to force the entire assembly up to get to the screw..

I have this machine and it’s 3 years old. Worked great with any size load up till this year. Started getting Ub codes so I replaced the spring rods and that didn’t work. Replaced them with off brand and those didn’t work. I am down to spinning two articles of clothing at a time. What else is there to replace for unbalanced loads?

Right before you take the coin catch out, ours was anchored w a screw that we could not access. The small carve out at the center bottom of the metal face was not sufficient. We took two drill bits using a smaller one first to prevent drilling into the screw holding the coin catch. This machine did not have the same screw. Just wanted to share our solution to be able to remove the pump. We figured that assembly is inconsistent with each rendition of machine.

Good tip with the shopvac. I have broken glass interfering with my drain pump and I think I will try to use the shopvac to pull it out from inside the machine. Can't hurt and might save me some work.

My husband did this and within 2 weeks it was getting unbalanced again, even with very small loads. What can we do to fix this?

Thanks for the vid helped me fix mine easy job instead of paying.

Thanks so much!!

Thank you for the video! I have the same machine and when the cycle to drain the water begins, water starts leaking from somewhere at the bottom. I say somewhere cos I dunno where the water is leaking from. Could it also be due to the drain pump? Or could it be due to one of the pipes leading from the drain pump?

Great video, fixed my machine in a few hours with a $20 part ordered from Amazon.

Oh my god, I take off 3 screws for the front bottom part and maybe 8-10 for the back to change the shocks on my whirlpool duet! This is ridiculous, why so hard to take apart???

Great time saver! Id like to add.... to remove the front bottom pump screw i had to drill a hole through the sheet metal to get the screw back in. I also had to use a large drill bit to add clearnce for the screw driver to remove one of the bottom pump screws. It was super easy, though. I wish i would have snapped pics so i could share it.

Thanks for posting. 30 minutes and $45 in parts. Save me a fortune.

Dig it, thank you for the link to the free service manual. That is a huge help

Is this going to be a normal thing for you to upload these tech sheets for free? Super helpful to have a source for it.

Still having banging issues

Thank you for this video, i learned alot

I'm on my 4th pump in our LG washer... Last round I also did shocks and drain tube (about 3 months ago). Just today its not draining again... is there something I'm missing that would cause 3 pumps to fail and now a 4th? I'm finding I just buy myself 3-6 months with each new pump, am I missing something?

I’ve fixed many appliances on the first try. LG sucks. Will never buy LG anything. Thought you may give me a suggestion on what to do. You’re no help…

Dude you saved my life although I sliced up my hands a bit down under the machine I was able to buy a new drain pump, install it and run it a couple times with SUCCESS!! Although I hope the way I ran the drain pump and screwed everything back in will work out… YOURE THE MAN!!🎉

Really apprecaite all your videos and your replies, I was able to fix my washing machine jumping and shaking! Now I'm just concerned because the machine won't drain. There is no OE error, and it simply does not drain at all. How do I diagnose the issue and what should I do?
