Thank you for your time making this repair video. I bought the drain pump from your amazon store. You are very much appreciated.

Bro real talk I followed what you said and it was perfect. I appreciate you frfr.

[@adrianacadavid8053]

Thank you very much for saving me a lot of money 🙏

[@kevinamyhemingway8214]

Thank you, sir. You just saved me a lot of money! I did end up tilting the machine and accessing the pump from underneath. That saved me a lot of disassembly/assembly, but I also am a woman with small hands. Thanks again!

[@mgoode2031]

My vote for most impactful video on KZbin for 2022. My wife was ready to pull the trigger and buy a new washer. It was 5 years old. 50 dollars and a Saturday and no more issues.

I dont know who's in charge of your salary, but you, sir, deserve a raise. Saved me BIG time!

[@brendae6785]

I scouted several videos before starting this project and this was BY FAR the most detailed video I could locate. Thank you so much for creating this video. It took me a little less than an hour to disassemble, change out the pump, and reassemble. The most difficult aspect was getting the bellow spring around the rubber when reinstalling. As a woman in her 50's, my hand strength is a bit weak so the screwdriver trick didn't work for me, however, grabbing and pulling on one end of the spring with sturdy pliers did the trick. I had already ordered a replacement washer for $740 and I was able to cancel that order thanks to your video. A part that was less than $30 fixed the problem. Sincere gratitude to you for sharing this information!

[@daniellecody2142]

Thank you SO much for this video! I was able to replace my motor and I’m back on track. I appreciate you taking the time to put together such a detailed and complete tutorial. Thank you!!!

[@zzgigs]

This tutorial, although for a slightly different model, was exactly what I needed to fix my washer/dryer!! First appliance I've ever fixed, thank you sir!! We overnighted the part from Amazon as soon as we had the machine disassembled. Took about 3 hours total start to finish.

[@wytnoyztv6579]

Ordered my part, Just did a 30 minute change out thanks to the great detailed instructions here. Back up and running loads of laundry. Thank you for the video and the LG part!

[@JO-RO-O]

This was such a great and detailed video! Got the part from a local store and had it replaced and running in about 2 hours. This was the first time I’ve fixed an appliance, and watching you go through it was a God send. Thank you so much!

[@robhenry156]

Watched the video on Thursday. Ordered the part Friday. Received the part Tuesday and followed the directions Tuesday evening. Step by step made this an easy repair and saved money.

[@martinezeli13]

You sir are a legend! Got my washer torn apart and put together in about an hour and a half. You saved me some serious money. Thank you!

[@wendym31463]

Doesn’t your washer doesn’t it have a 10 year warranty on it so saving you some money would’ve been covered in that warranty?

[@martinezeli13]

@@wendym31463 Bought it second hand. And I can't imagine that getting a warranty replacement without being the original owner would be easy.

Literally just fixed my washer following this video step by step! Instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you so much for this video!

[@davidhaslam5162]

Fantastic video! I hopped on Amazon for the part. Got the park to my door in 3.5 hours. Had the washer disassembled, new part in and reassembled within an hour. Back up and running with no more OE error code. Video shows perfect step by step process. Thank you!

[@AZQuadRunner]

Excellent step-by-step tutorial. Your method of putting the bellows retaining wire/spring back on is the best I've found. Thank you for the clear explanation and steady camera views. One tip for those waiting to make this repair. When the OE code pops up, press the Start/Pause button to get back to the wash cycle. Press it again to continue the wash cycle.

[@augustcook5537]

This video was super helpful. My washer is only 2-3 years old, and hasn't been making weird noise, so I didn't think it was the pump, but I had no idea how to get to the inside to check. Once I followed his instructions on how to get to the internals, I found my problem. The little hose that runs from the door gasket drain to the rest of the drainage system has 2 elbows. We have 5 pets. I took off that little hose and viola! Packed solid with pet hair and dirt/mud. Took an old wire coat hanger and used it as a pipe cleaner, and we are back in business. I can't say thank you enough for this video. And your tip on getting that gasket spring monstrosity back on was a lifesaver.

[@davidlemieux2606]

Best DIY repair video instructions I've ever come across! Note: my washer has a metal isolation plate (with rubber feet) that the pump sits on and is attached to the frame of the machine with 3 bolts going directly through the rubber feet.

[@56Beauty]

You rock! This was the perfect fix for my machine. It took me awhile to remove the top front panel.. I think I was worried about breaking the clips or the panel, but it removed exactly the way you showed in your video. Replacing the pump went smoothly and was much easier than expected. It's also important to manage your screws when you remove them so you know what goes where. The toughest part for me was putting the ring back around the rubber on the front of the machine. Following your video I put the rubber back in place and it fit snuggly. I put the spring of the ring at the bottom and put the ring inside the rubber groove 3/4 of the way with ease, but could not get the last portion of the ring in the groove. It was frustrating so I took a break. When I tried again, I used a small plastic scraper in my left hand to allow the spring to stretch while holding it in place and worked the last right corner of the ring into the groove using a screwdriver in my right hand as demonstrated in the video. Well, that worked for me. Wow! So, I'm going to say to any woman over 66 like me doing this repair, getting the ring back around the rubber of the washing machine opening might be an issue. Anyway, it's nice to have my machine running in tip top condition again. Thank you!

[@anjanettecooper4650]

I had the same problem getting it back on. I cried a little, took a small break and prayed and got it on.

[@56Beauty]

@@anjanettecooper4650 I feel you! Lol! I'm glad you were able to get it back on.

[@nukerog]

Wow, this is the best video I've found to do this job on my LG washer! Incredible job! The part about how to get that darn spring back in place on the rubber door seal was invaluable as well!

[@leisaphillips6616]

This video helped us greatly diagnosing the problem and fixing it ourselves. We could not have figured out how to take the machine apart and fix it without the step-by-step instructions. Thank you!

[@humblyright]

Thank you very much for the easy to follow, extremely clear tutorial how to change this pump. It took me all of about an hour & the machine runs like a champ! Had my daughter not been home from college this week I would’ve ordered the part from your website, I was able to pick up the OEM part from Amazon with same day delivery. Thanks again from a former Beachwood dweller desperately trying to avoid heat stroke in the deserts of Arizona.

Best video by far! Our model of washing machine had a metal bracket instead of the white plastic clip you mentioned to detach, which held the motor but after removing those 3 screws it was all good. Thank you for the detailed instructions!

Fixed my washer thanks to you, perfect instructions. Another tip for getting the spring back on the gasket that worked for me was using something heavy with a lot of leverage to pull the spring apart, that took a ton of force.

Thank you!!! We just used this video to replace the drain pump. I really appreciated the testing at the end!

[@kostoffj]

Thrilled with this video - you guys saved me quite a bit of money! I even ordered the part from you - it got here promptly within the week. Replaced the pump, put it all back together and to my delight and relief, it worked normally. Thanks again. For those looking to do this, I'll share my two main frustrations, both come during the reassembly of the washing machine once you've replaced the part. The first, and worst, frustration, is trying to get the hose clamp on the main pump drain hose back on. It's very stiff and the pump is located in a difficult to get to part of the washer, once it's back in. No matter what I did I couldn't hold that thing open while re-attaching the hose and trying to maneuver the clamp into the right spot. Did a little research to find a cheat and discovered there are special hose clamp tools you buy, mostly from auto parts outfits, that make it trivial. I got the tools for $15 off Amazon. Second frustration was the bellow spring, which he speaks to in the video. I used the method he shows in the video to put it back in, but even still it was very difficult and took me many tries and much cursing. It worked in the end - all the trouble was definitely worth the money I saved. Thanks again Lorain Furniture and Appliance!

[@Bob-tk2ci]

We tried this and took 2 hours but was worth it. Both of our families told us to just buy a new one but was so much cheaper to buy the part for £30 rather than spend £500. We struggled to get the back pipe back on without pliers which took about 30 minutes and used kitchen tongs but managed by putting the metal attachment on the pipe and then wiggling it onto the plastic part on the pump. Thanks so much!

Great tutorial. My pump was actually on a metal frame bolted to the bottom instead of the slide clip, but once I figured that out, it was easy to do with these instructions. $35 and fixed the day after it broke. A lot better than waiting a week to pay $350!

[@PyrrhP]

We're trying to figure out how to get the pump off of the metal frame.

[@GCT1212]

For me, I had to reach my hand under and turn the bolts (I had to do it barehanded, because I couldn't get a tool under). I can't remember exactly, but I think there were three bolts. Once I got ahold of it, it twisted in pretty straightforward way - I didn't feel like I was breaking it or anything. Good luck! @@PyrrhP

[@normstangl3499]

A fantastic tutorial. I couldn't get the machine to run a Drain + Spin cycle. I drained the machine and tried the cycle again. With no water in the tank the barrel spun, but since the machine was emptied of water I couldn't tell if the pump was functioning. I ran the diagnostics test, all worked except for the drain cycle. I will drain the machine of water again and head off to the parts supplier for a new pump. The instructions are very clear in this video guide so I'm confident replacing the pump.

[@normstangl3499]

An update to the process. Most of the instructions were in alignment, but as with different models and model years some items will be different. We have a combo washer/dryer and the pump assembly is attached by three floating bolts to the frame. This video gets you through the most difficult pathways, and the rest you can figure out with logic. So a very helpful guide in all.
