LG Washer OE Error Code - LG Washer Not Draining Fix - LG Washer Drain Pump Replacement Tutorial

[@pauldennis1241]

I wish everyone who posts "how to" videos would watch this one first! Very, very professional! Instructions were very clear, camera work and lighting were excellent, audio was excellent. You must have taken a lot of time to produce this. It was a pleasure just watching you do this project. So organized. Learned a lot from your technique. Thanks

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! This video did take me a long time to shoot it. I wanted to show every part I was removing so it’s clear how to do this repair. I also had to stop and wait 2 days for the spring expansion tool to arrive. I initially tried to do this without the tool. Then I had to tell viewers that the tool is absolutely necessary to finish the job. Thanks for watching!

[@joncecilevillasanta4606]

Thank you very much for this instructional video. Easy to follow!

[@cecilsmith1531]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@lucescuemanuel]

Yes awesome video! Thank you for your help

[@skyviewchronicles3002]

exactly what i needed, my kenmore is identical, i am a handy guy, farmer. carpenter, etc but would never have figured this all out without your help, or a complete service manual. You made my day, now if the new pump works.....

[@digitalcamproducer]

So glad my washer pump replacement tutorial helped! And since you’re handy this should be no problem for you!

[@stacybriggs8861]

THANK YOU! As a single female, home repairs are always a stress point. I watched your video over and over as I was doing it. Not as easy for me but still completely doable. I'm proud of myself for not being afraid to try, completing it and having the confidence to do it again should I need. Again...thank you for making this easy to follow.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I enjoy hearing how people are able to fix their washing machine after watching my video. This is definitely an involved process but I tried to show it step by step to make it easy to follow along. So glad you were able to do it yourself and save money! Thanks for watching!

[@26PurpleMonkey26]

Same here!!!! I'm trying to figure this out!!!! Thanks for giving me hope!!!!!

[@willendsley1192]

As a retired television production teacher I appreciate the quality of your work. Great job plus you solved my washer problem.

[@digitalcamproducer]

Glad you got your washer fixed! I’m actually a professional broadcast video producer. Been in television almost 30 years! But I still remember my video instructor in college say “television is the medium of close ups”. These days I say “video is the medium of close ups”. That line is one of the main factors I take into consideration when I shoot my videos. I like to show the process up close (using a macro lens if necessary) to show in detail what I’m shooting so the viewer can follow along as if they are looking through my eyes. Especially with tutorials! I want to show each step with as much detail as possible! Thanks for watching!

[@elizabethdaley8160]

I'm a 59yr old mother of five and Nana of four, and I just fixed my washer all by myself! thanks to you!

Thank you so much! Sitting here listening to my washer drain so smoothly during a wash cycle. This is a flawless video. Anyone can do it after watching your instruction.

[@alxusn]

This is how you make a how to do it yourself video....straight to the point...detailed....easy to understand ...clear and articulately said. Thank you very much sir !

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad my washer pump replacement video helped! This video is a bit longer than my usual videos but was necessary to show the whole process! I never add unnecessary content and my viewers definitely appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@LesKutasi]

Thank you, thank you!! We had a service man come out, but he didn't have the replacement pump and told us to order it on Amazon and he'd come back to install it. I must pay him for coming out to assess the machine and to thank him for providing the part number required, but since I had to wait for the part I went on KZbin to assess the installation process and found your video along with several others. I must commend you on the detailed instructions and outstanding video your put up. I decided to attempt the installation, purchased the spring extender you recommended, and replaced the pump myself in a couple of hours with my wife managing the screws. I wish others would follow your example on how to create a useful video with step by step instructions that almost made the installation process look easy. Thanks for taking your time to make the video and share your knowledge.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing your story! So even the repairman orders his parts from Amazon! You still saved a lot of money even though you had to pay for the diagnostic appointment. Nice work by the two of you! Thanks for watching!

[@skwepwelot]

I just did this repair. This is absolutely one of the best "how to" videos I have ever watched and used. I could not have replaced the defective water pump in my LG washer without first watching Nico's video. My model LG washer is a WM8000HWA. I would add one additional recommendation: be sure to note (and mark) the orientation of the pump to the pump assembly before unscrewing and removing the pump itself from the assembly. This is at 5:35 of the video. On my pump assembly, the new pump can be reinstalled in a variety of different orientations so this will ensure you don't install it at the wrong angle. Don't be afraid to do this repair - this video is very accurate and makes it clear on what to do. You will save a lot of money and time. And do follow Nico's excellent hints too! Thank you.

[@digitalcamproducer]

Excellent advice on marking the pump orientation before removing it. I made a mention to take note of that but physically marking it with a sharpie is a fool proof method because the pump does have to be attached in a specific way. I made a mental note and I knew I had my video footage to rely on. But thanks for your tip which I’m sure will help others!

[@JesusPerez-om5vu]

Is your washer the same as the one of the video? Mine is it I’m trying to get the model to order the pump

[@MTrain-jt2yz]

Oh, and dont leave your work light inside when attaching front cover. :-) (Yes I did. Only started the second screw, but I did.)

[@TexasJoeHotdog42]

I made the mistake of not marking the orientation but you can use the witness marks from the screws to get it lined back up correctly.

[@mattmcginnis2786]

This is the definitive video to repair this issue with LG washers. I'm on my third drain pump now and simply followed the instructions with the parts from Amazon and we're back in business. A big thumbs up on this video!

[@rainerblaesius9372]

I just replaced the pump using your instructions and have to agree with all the positive comments. You saved me money, aggravation and likely also injury....This is the best "how to" video I have used, if there was an Oscar for "how-to" youtubes I'd totally support nominating you!

[@digitalcamproducer]

Excellent! I’m really glad to hear you were able to repair your washer yourself and save money! It’s not too hard to do once you see the process! Thanks for watching!

[@prewitth]

This was so helpful in fixing my washing machine. You walked me through tearing apart the machine, fixing the issue and walked me back out putting it all back together again. I was going to have my husband fix it but once I watched the video I said “I can do this with this guys help!” Thank you for taking the time to video this tutorial!

[@digitalcamproducer]

Great work trusting yourself to do this repair! It helps to view all the steps beforehand! It can seem intimidating with all the parts that come out but staying organized with all the screws helps! Thanks for watching!

[@Jenpepper]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Not only did you save me a bundle in repair/replacement costs (husband wanted to replace), but you’ve restored my faith in KZbin instructional videos. Concise and to the point, no long expositions or annoying music. Truly helpful material, and the experience was a confidence booster to boot. Subscribed!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad my washer repair video was helpful! In my videos there’s no need to add unrelated content. I like to make my videos as short and concise as possible. But this one is longer because there are a lot of steps involved. Also thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it!

[@tammyshannon1888]

Thank you for your very thorough video. I was able to watch it, order the parts and tool and have it on hand for my husband to fix in less than an hour. Your video saved the day!

[@saltytraveller]

Well done. My wife had gotten a quote of $400 just to change out the door gasket. We put up with the moldy door until the drain pump went out. Thanks to you, I replaced the pump and the gasket today. Excellent video.

[@jeffreinardy7570]

AWESOME! Took this on with my wife tracking the screws. Your video was precise and concise. Worked out perfectly! I am mildly mechanical at best, but you made this a very accomplishable project. Took about an hour. Thank you!

[@digitalcamproducer]

Nice! You saved time and money by doing this yourself! Nice teamwork on your end! Nice accomplishment! Thanks for watching!

Outstanding KZbin tutorial. Following your detailed instructions, I was able to replace my LG frontloader's broken drain pipe motor in a few hours at a cost of $43.68, including the purchase of a spring expansion tool. I can't thank you enough.

I wish I could send you a picture of the wrench and zip ties I used as an “ expansion tool”.

Thank you. I just ordered the drain pump from amazon and I will watch again before beginning the repair of my LG Washer. Thank you. You are so easy to listen to.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Glad you were able to order the replacement pump! Hopefully you got the spring expansion tool too! It makes that last step a breeze. Others have reattached the spring using other methods but I was not able to without the tool. The repair is fairly easy so I’m confident you can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@cjbdb]

THANK YOU!!! This gave me the confidence to try it on my own. The fear of what we don't know is what holds us back from trying to do things on our own and coming to know how to do it ourselves. It was as easy as it looks, except for a stripped screw, (probably from a previous repair man), that I had to get off with some patience and time. I was able to get the pump switched out by myself, with the help of my daughter, which brought us together and also taught her how to do something I wasn't taught as a kid, which is how to fix our own things. Thank you for being a teacher and showing others how to do this. The confidence gained to do something unknown is the biggest thing gained.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! So glad you and your daughter were able to do the repair together! I’m sure it was a learning experience and a bonding experience for both of you. It definitely helps when you can see someone else do the task first. For me I was doing this for the first time while I was shooting the video. So I was learning as I was going. But I had a feeling that others would find it helpful to see the process. Plus it saves a lot of money doing it yourself. So glad your repair was successful!

[@rafaelburgosjr.3547]

Great video. I changed my own pump a couple of weeks ago, before I watched this video. The only thing I would change is to to be sure to Shut off the water before proceeding.

[@hasaniblackwell5962]

This is the most detailed and easy to follow repair video I've ever seen for this problem... there are several floating around. I was able to follow this and the machine is now working. My only recommendation is you mention all the required and optional tools at the very beginning of the video. You saved me $500 and encouraged me to self repair other things around the house that I would have probably thrown and and purchased. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Glad my video was helpful! Yeah mentioning the tool in the beginning would be a good idea. Nice you saved a bunch of money doing this repair yourself!

Thank you so much for this video! For the past week or so during the drain cycle, my washer was making a terrible grinding noise. It would finish the cycle, but this morning with a load full of laundry, I got the dreaded OE message. I had already known about this video before it actually stopped working (I'm anal that way) and I was fortunate that a local parts supply place had the pump in stock along with the spring tool. I'm 65 years old, and in the past seven years it seems as though my washer had glued itself to the floor. Moving the washer into a position to work on it was the most difficult thing for me. Your tutorial was perfect, and it only took me about 2 hours to do the repair once I started working. 10 stars, and 20 thumbs up for this help! I'm now kicking back enjoying a celebratory Scotch👍🍻👍 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you were already familiar with my video! On my washer I got very little notice before I got the OE error code. The fix is kind of simple yet quite involved. It’s nice that you were able to find a replacement pump locally including the tool! Being able to fix it yourself is definitely a cause for celebration! Thanks for watching!

[@normstangl3499]

This video was brilliant. I managed to get the entire job completed by following the steps illustrated here. Upon re-assembly I didn't have the spring spreader tool. I determined that if the left side spring is in place over the gasket it will stay in place. You can then stretch the right side of the spring with a screwdriver, then guide the wire into place by hand on the right side without any issue. Just make sure that the retaining wire is inserted as best as possible all the way around the gasket. Then only about the last 1/3 of the wire to the right of the spring needs tucking in. This video is very clear and self explanatory. I saved quite a few bucks in repair cost to spend on myself following this guide. 😁

Seriously the most helpful repair video I've ever watched. Took me less than an hour. If you don't want to or just plain didn't by the spring ring tool, an alternative is two sets of hands and a bike tire lever. Have one person hold the ring really tightly at the furthest locations you can get it to by hand and the other person start at one and slowly run the tire lever along the ring. Worked for me after a half dozen tries.

You’re welcome! Really glad you enjoyed my video tutorial! I like to put as much detail as I can in it because partly it’s a video for me in the future if I ever have to do this repair again! Thanks for watching!

[@anguswhittaker7690]

Thank you very much. Your instructions are excellent. I taped the screws to paper and labeled them. The spring tool I purchased was 20$ and worked great.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! That tape idea to keep your screws organized is a great idea! I might have to use that in the future! Glad you were able to get washer working again!

[@davidblesener3454]

Thanks, great directions, Saved me $$$, Was able to get spring on with a helping hand!

[@jimb2520]

Hands down, the best video on KZbin for this repair. Enabled me to quickly pull the machine apart, diagnose the trouble and make the repair (especially the PRO TIP on how to re-install the bellow). Many thanks.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Glad my video tutorial helped! I tried to make it as detailed as possible in case I had to do this repair in the future! Thanks for watching!

[@StitchdownShell]

Thanks for this gem of a video. Followed it to the T and worked! Saved me $$$$$. Thank you!!!!

[@dano7476]

Thanks! I had booked a repair guy - $120 for the visit and diagnosis plus more for the parts and labor. It took my an hour to disassemble and half hour to reassemble. I’m still waiting for the spring tool to finish that last piece. I only had two hoses and two wires instead of four connected to the pump. Very detailed and thorough. Thanks! I was going to take the gasket off completely and clean it but was afraid I wouldn’t get it back on the right way.

[@richardjones647]

Thanks a million! Just replaced my drain pump last night while following your video! That spring compression tool is a life saver, as is your vid!

[@paul6x9]

This video is the one that worked for me. Someone else has a video where they go in from the bottom and that did not work! Also, regarding your parts organization, I fully recommend spending about $5 at Harbor Freight Tools on a parts organizer with a lid. I am clumsy and did kick my parts storage bin but the lid saved me from having a mess! Thank you for this video.

[@digitalcamproducer]

So glad my tutorial was helpful for your washer repair. Yeah quite a few people say to do this from the bottom. But I don’t have the space in my laundry room to tip the washer over. Plus I really don’t think the bolts on the pump can be reached from the opening underneath. Good job on your repair! And thanks for the tip on the parts organizer. I know I could’ve easily bumped my container of screws and everything would’ve been mixed up!

[@mrbikeman]

Just fixed my issue for 40 bucks! Thanks for the detailed video. High 5 brother!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad my washer repair video help you get your washer working again and save money doing it yourself! Thanks for watching!

[@michelleknight6731]

Omg this video helped so much. Me & my sister fixed my washer...can't believe it. Thank you so much...single mom of 5.. I so needed this!

[@digitalcamproducer]

I’m so excited to hear stories like yours! Really glad you got your washer fixed and running again! Nice feeling being able to do it yourself without having to call a repairman! Great job! And thanks for watching!

[@sethkapoi5694]

Best how to video I’ve ever seen. Well done.

[@ameliaearhart6991]

My washer stop draining and was making noises so I found this video and was able to repair it. I had my husband help me put the ring back on so I didn’t need the spring tool. If you’re by yourself I would get the spring tool. I had my lg washer since 2006 and this was the first time I had any problems with it, the inside was a little different but I was still able to follow along. The draining tube had sand stuck in it so I was able to clean it out as well. Now it works with no issues 🤞🏼you saved me $300 dollars! Thank you!!!!

[@michaelarenal1578]

Thank you so much for ur video! I fixed my washer following ur every step and I can’t say how much money I saved doing it myself. Again…thank u!

[@mattlong1281]

This video was perfect! Left no gaps and I was able to change the pump and save myself a few hundred dollars!

[@DavidRowles-c3m]

This is a great help video. I was able replace my pump myself as a result of watching this video. My machine was a little different but all the steps fit my model as well. Thanks for this one.

[@sakof25]

Pump replacement was successful. That expansion tool was indeed a lifesaver. I also used it to remove the ring, instead of prying it off with a screwdriver 😅. It was super helpful to have watched the video also for the prep and having all the right tools available as well as the tip to mark and organize the screws. Thanksssss!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I would’ve used the expansion tool to remove the ring also but I started this repair before I knew I needed one. So this video took extra time to shoot because on the final step I had to wait for the expansion tool to arrive. So glad you were able to get your washer fixed! Thanks for watching!

[@philipsgarage]

Just had this happen on mine and ordered the part and fixed it. Thanks for the very detailed video, I was only out $40 in parts vs $1300 for a new one.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! So glad you were able to repair your washer! Such a good feeling when you know how much money you saved fixing it instead of buying a new washer! Nice work! Thanks for watching!

[@paulamaxwell5886]

Thank you so much for this video! Your step by step directions gave me a clear understanding of each step and what I could expect. I used a sticky note for each set of screws I removed. I labeled each sticky note and taped the screws to each. Thank you again!

[@mpdonn317130]

Excellent video. Used the links for the part and tool and did the job on my LG washer. I probably wouldn’t have tried it if I didn’t see the video. Thanks again!

[@digitalcamproducer]

Excellent! I’m glad my tutorial gave you the confidence to try the repair yourself! I’m sure you have a great sense of accomplishment after doing this! Plus saving a bunch of money by not having to hire a repairman! Thanks for watching!

[@PhilandAlex]

Though it took me longer than it took you, it worked!! My Unit had a metal bracket / brace that had to be fully detached from washer to replace the broken part. It didn’t have a quick clip like yours did. Added an hour of frustration, but I got it! Thank you

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad you got around a snag that added more time to the repair! But also glad you got your washer fixed on your own without having to call a repairman! Thanks for watching!

[@JesusPerez-om5vu]

I have to order mine do you what’s the part # of the water pump

[@2meters2]

Thank you ! I have the same model, same problem, and your video instructions, I'd have wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to access that pump. You're a life saver. One note on the spring extension tool, I did not have one, but found out that it's not difficult if you have two people : One holds the spring open with two screwdrivers, the other puts the ring in the grove. Works like a charm.

[@keithm9133]

I agree with everyone else - this is an excellent video, a perfect model for repair videos. In addition, the inclusion of the text of your instructions is the glitter on the icing on the cake! Thanks.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I try to make my videos as detailed as possible partly so that if I ever had to refer back to it I would know step by step how I did the repair. So glad your got your washer fixed! Thanks for watching!

[@JoeAlbrecht71]

Thank you for making this video. Worked like a charm. My washer is now back in working order.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad you were able to get your washer working again! Thanks for watching!

[@brianhead5231]

I watched several videos before this one. I really had doubts about trying to do it myself. After watching this one I didn't. It was very well done. I watched it beginning to end, went and bought the part and spring tool, and then watched it in segments as I did the job. It was an excellent tutorial and I want to say thanks for saving me some $$$$. The only place I disagree with the OP is that for me getting the main drain hose back on was the hardest part. But, it might have been the angles along with the pliers I had to use. All in all 10/10 from me. Thanks!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m glad my detailed video gave you the confidence to take on this repair! I didn’t have any problems with my tubing but I can see how it can be difficult with the small space under the washer. Nice work doing it yourself and saving money! Thanks for watching!

[@sgtdukeM109rider]

Excellent video! Ordered a new pump off Amazon replaced in just a couple hours. Great video spring tool and must :-)

[@digitalcamproducer]

So glad you were able to replace your washer pump! And yes that spring expansion tool is a lifesaver for that last step! Thanks for watching!

[@drticzon]

This is the best video on this repair. Easy to follow, and to the point. I will do my repair this weekend. Thank you for posting this.

[@lenskywalker578]

This NICE guy does a really good job - much better than some other "narcissist" with some "big intro" to his videos, that does NOT show nearly enough what to do, while simply fast-forwarding on things - there is NO comparison !! Anyway, there are seemingly too many steps for me to do it, myself, but I appreciate this video quite a bit !!

[@digitalcamproducer]

Yes! This does seem like an intimidating repair job! This is the first time I’ve replaced a washer pump and I had to shoot video of it at the same time! If you keep your parts and screws organized it’s not too bad. But I know taking apart a washer isn’t for everyone! But if you ever decide you want to tackle this repair you’ll know which video to come to! Thanks for watching!

[@rhoonah5849]

This video was perfect. I was able to take my washer apart, get the correct replacement pump and reassemble everything and it works like a champ! I even purchased the spring expansion tool and as the video stated, it was WELL worth the money because I tried it without the tool and it cost me about 20 minutes of frustration. Thank you!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Yeah that spring expansion tool is a lifesaver in the last step! When I was shooting this tutorial I had replaced the pump but couldn’t get the spring back on. Had to wait 2 days for the tool to arrive from Amazon. Got the ring back on and finished shooting the video! Even buying the pump and tool costs much less than calling a repairman! Thanks for watching!

[@rhoonah5849]

@@digitalcamproducer That's exactly what happened to me. I took the washer apart one day to get the pump out to get a feel for the job, order the pump, waited for it to arrive, replaced it and then was like "Crap, I can't get this damn spring on" and had to wait 2 more days for the tool. Lol. Anyway, you're right that it was a lot cheaper than replacing the washer or having a repairman come out plus I scored points with the wife :)

[@kellykaminskas9747]

Glad I found your video! I just ordered the parts (thanks for the quick links!) The video was step-by-step, well done! Thank you!

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! I’m really glad my pump replacement tutorial was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@patrickmalcolm5616]

Thank you so much for the video. It probably saved me $300.

[@digitalcamproducer]

You’re welcome! Yes doing this fix yourself definitely saves a lot of money! Thanks for watching!
