By far the BEST instructional video I have ever seen on KZbin! There is no way I would have been able to figure this out on my own. And now it's done! Thanks a mil for this!

[@KCnoSurrender]

THANK YOU!! Didn’t realize replacing the drain hose was so labor intensive. Following your tutorial to remove and install everything was an absolute God send. Much appreciated, kind sir!

[@meisterpatch849]

Oh. My. God. I just had a brand new LG front load washer/dryer delivered today and assumed that the drain hose would connect to an outlet on the washer like every other single washer I have ever seen. When the integrated hose didn't reach my drain pipe, I came here to see how to connect the longer hose I already have, and learned that I have to take the entire washer apart if I want to use a different drain hose! This is RIDICULOUS!

[@meisterpatch849]

LG, you motherfathers!

[@BrandyvisionInc]

Lol agreed! 🤣😫

[@mamushka81]

This is insane! I guess I’m goint to DIY an extension. There is no way I will disassemble my perfectly functional washer

[@alejandrabranada]

Me pasa Exactamente lo mismo! Mi lavadora es LG True Steam y se rompió precisamente en la salida del desagüe, no de abajo, a la salida, donde va unida a un tuvo a la altura de un metro. Cómo vio a desarmar todo!!! Hay un mapa de la lavadora accesible. Dónde?

[@zzzr4604]

6 year old video is still absolutely perfect and what I needed to see to change my washers drain hose. Thank you! 💯

[@jekol2]

One of the best repair videos I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@dalmoamorim]

Nice and well detailed video, you guys deserve all the credit in what you work for. A technician (not from Appliance) came today but he didn't remove the front door of the washer. Instead, he almost got inside the machine from the back ahahaha ... removed the hose and did all the rest with his entire arm without watching. Thanks, guys.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we could help!

[@johnrasmussen3752]

might try that myself after seeing what the bits looked like in this vid..

[@reactionsok]

i tried myself. There was no way i was able to release the clamp from the factory install from the rear. It was angled away.

[@ADubTheGrizzy]

@@reactionsok I tried it today as well. Would have been doable if the clamp was facing towards the back, but in my case it was not. Had to do the long way.

[@reactionsok]

@@ADubTheGrizzy dude I had to destack

[@reactionsok]

best video for this repair. You saved me $300!

[@marimiller9937]

😂 Only takes a few minutes 😂 This would take me all day and I would surely miss a screw or two. 🤣 Thanks anyway, at least I know it’s time to call the repair man. 👍 I agree with everyone, this is an excellent video on how to get into your washing machine and probably repair almost anything in this access area which is a large area of the machine. 👍

[@YoYoMazcousin]

Yeah, it’s a great video…but it doesn’t look easy. There are about 40 steps! Seems ridiculous to me that this machine is that difficult to repair the hose. Why isn’t it just an easy access attachment on the outside back of the machine. I know it’s not this guys fault.

[@translator1267]

There's no way in a few minuts😢😭😅. Never thought would have to unscrew almost the entire machine

[@Thedreamydragonfly]

That was the best video, clear and concise. Thank you! Fingers crossed that all drains well...

[@TheSquirrelMommy]

Wow -- he's got this whole machine apart!! I thought he said it would be quick & easy!?

[@kylesterling670]

Thanks so much for this video, helped solve a big problem for me and my family.

[@ctflora]

Thank you for the simple clear instructions! Reminds me of certain new cars where you have to drop the front bumper to replace a light bulb, though.... :D

[@machinebased]

I don't understand why something that used to be a one step process is now a 32 step breakdown..... I hate this LG washer it has been my biggest appliance regret, nothing but problems. Good on you for having the patience though.

[@arpad2188]

Thank you so much for this! Seriously, I don't know why the drain hose is so much more difficult to replace than the supply hose which is like 30 seconds.

[@Faladrin]

The water coming in to the unit should be clean, so you can have the supply lines attach to the frame. Also the supply lines are under pressure so there is no pump to get the water into the unit. The drain line has dirty water so if you did the same thing at some point you'd have to replace the line but if you only replace the line on the outside you'd still have a dirty section of host inside anyway. The pump needs to be low to take advantage of gravity. If they placed the pump to the back then you'd need to get behind the unit every time you clean the lint trap which you are bound to do many many more times than replacing/cleaning that hose. I suppose it's still possible to make getting into and out of the unit as a whole easier, but there are several reasons why the drain line is bound to be harder to deal with than the supply lines.

[@fmaz1952]

@@Faladrin This make so much sense it's frustrating.

[@rickwashburn6509]

A sincere thanks to the manufacturers for turning a formerly easy, 2-minute job into a 2-hour nightmare. I guess it’s just about getting their greedy hands on more of people’s money.

[@crankbait09]

I just went through this process, what a PITA, just to change a hose. But I like how they skip forward the whole spring install. It certainly isn't as easy as he made it look. My question was how many times did they have to do it before the ring/spring was firmly in place around the rubber boot? I've been trying to get mine on for about an hour now, it keeps slipping off and i have to place the rubber boot/gasket back on the rim. Everything else went easily though. After another half hour, I need to walk away. I'll come back to it tomorrow.

[@reactionsok]

you must not have it around the gasket properly.

[@ADubTheGrizzy]

If you really want, there's a $30 tool made for this call the tension ring expander. But this can be done with two hooks, some strength, and close your eyes. I've seen one technician almost take his eye out.

[@richardw6733]

Had to open mine 3 times to fix a few things. Putting the spring back on was the worst part. If you watch enough videos they give tips: Make sure the gasket is secured into the V-shaped groove before trying to put the metal ring on. Start with the spring in place at the bottom and work the ring into its channel in the gasket from clockwise 6 o' clock to 12 and back to 6. It would be easier with an extra person helping, but it was always late at night for me and I didn't want to wait. You can get most of the metal ring into the gasket properly and then for the final part, use locking pliers or needle-nose pliers to pull the spring looser. The key is to pull to the side NOT away from the washer, so you're pulling the ring with resistance from the groove in the gasket and not pulling the ring away from the washer and gasket--easier said than done. With patience it does work with one set of pliers, two, or even mostly by hand. You can use a small screwdriver or similar to ease the remaining parts of the ring into the groove. The last time I was able to just pull it almost completely in place by hand and just use the pliers to get the last part of the spring into the groove. At the end, pull on the gasket all around and if correctly in place, it won't budge.

[@melindatuma7589]

The front is not coming off my Kenmore model 41582 like this. I am not sure what to do next since I can't get the front off. Ugh, ridiculous amount of work. Great video - I wish it applied to my washer!

[@jeromebarry1741]

11May2021. I have have satisfied myself that the drain pump is functioning, so now it is time to examine the hose. Your video here is very helpful. You removed a last retaining clip by squeezing it with pliers, but you never showed where to replace that retaining clip.

[@EmperorPalpatine28]

video is very helpful but i have one doubt , if the hose can be removed from backside why open stuff on the front?

[@appliancepartspros]

You want to make sure that there isn't any water in that drain hose when you go to remove it. He was just showing you how to empty it just in case there is water in the machine.

[@asmith799]

Thanks KZbin, I guess now I know how to replace a broken LG washer hose. Lol [was a clear video though good job:) ]

[@WaterfallDog]

I have to replace my hose because it was scraping along on the support shock. There was no clamp inside to hold up the hose. I am going to hang the hose with wire to a bracket near the top.

[@dylansasson6756]

Although one must be careful, I put my unit on its side and accessed the inside clamp from the bottom of the unit. I did not remove the front panel or door.

[@jashayou]

Thanks for a great video! I recommend to anyone tackling this job to go ahead and buy the spring spreader tool -- $12 on Amazon with (for me) next day delivery. I tried and tried with the locking pliers. With the spring spreader it took less than a minute to install the boot hoop.

[@johnrasmussen3752]

Thanks ... good video, but i thought this job was going to be much easier .. a lot of work for a split plastic hose. And its do this or buy a new washer ... But thanks for the vid .. great information.

[@muneiahv7837]

Super fitting and easily understanding

[@alejandrabranada]

Quisiera saber Cómo puedo encontrar un mapa de la manguera por qué a mí no se me rompió en la altura del filtro parte frontal sino que al otro extremo por donde cae el agua por un tubo. Necesito saber si se me rompió a esa altura Cómo repararla, hay una Unión antes de llegar al filtro que yo pueda retirar y comprar esa?

[@appliancepartspros]

¿Cuál es su número de modelo?

[@chrisdensmore1318]

If your just replacing the drain hose. Why are taking the washer apart? Just lay it on its side on a towel or foam support. Takes 5 seconds to accomplish the same thing?

[@appliancepartspros]

In this case, you might be able to go up through the bottom to get to where it connects in the interior front, but you wouldn't have much room to work and it might be more difficult.

[@mr_bailey7834]

Chris Densmore that's exactly what I was thinking, go straight from the back!

[@russell311000]

@@mr_bailey7834 Did it work?

[@SnaggyfromJoT]

Yes, tipping the washer on its side with a cushion support, and working up via the bottom hole worked for me. Thanks Chris for that tip! It's a bit tricky putting the drain hose through the back panel, and sliding the drain's mount connection into the back slots, but take your time and it will work. Also, make note of the orientation of the green drain end before you take it off, and install the new part the same direction, in order for the drain line to follow along the side of the washer, not bump into one of the shocks.

[@fishman211]

Hello Simon (hope that's spelled correctly). I have an LG Stromm steam washer model number WM2487H*M from around 2007-2008. I am getting the OE code that says the drain hose is kinked or blocked. I have followed your instructions as far as removing the harnesses and screws that should allow me to remove the control panel and place it on top of the washer but I have two issues. The control panel doesn't seem to want to come loose after removing four screws (this washer has a brace running from front to back thus the extra screw. The other issue is that when I look down into the body at the back of the washer there seems to be two drain hoses. Do you have any suggestions as to how I might get the control panel loose and does Appliance Parts Pro carry the correct drain hose assembly for this washer. Thanks so much. Phil

[@JesseCampbell0]

I think you want #5215ER2002G

[@fishman211]

Thanks for the info Jesse. My problem turned out to be a bad drain pump. I cleaned out all of the hoses and replaced the pump and the washer works like new.

Why did he open the front door ?

[@appliancepartspros]

He opened the door so he could remove the door clamp so he could remove the front panel.

MAKE SURE YOUR HOSE DOES NOT LAY ON THE SHOCK.

[@chestrockwell7306]

Good video but it doesn’t go this smooth

[@appliancepartspros]

If we can help with anything please let us know.

[@JustBeYouooh]

Why take all the other stuff off?..why not just open the back?

[@johnrasmussen3752]

I watched it again for the same thought. The pump bit is at the front. I am assuming it isn't accessible from the back.

[@richardw6733]

That hose is reachable from the back but not easily and since all the water flows out the washer through that connection, you want to make sure the hose is securely attached. Opening the front and reassembling is not that bad except for putting the gasket spring back on. For an older washer, there's likely many other things that should be checked and maintenanced anyway. If the washer is not on a pedestal, you could also tip it and access via the bottom.
