Very common LG leak fix

[@FU-fn5yb]

Times are tough right now. Thanks for sharing. I have that problem and will try and fix it myself.

[@msKita43]

I don't even have a washer and dryer in my apartment but I'm stuck watching these videos

[@Auto209]

That’s not a bad thing. Load yourself w just random useful information that would help you one day. I never needed to fix a washer or dryer but have been watching these videos for a while. My aunts washer “broke” and because I remembered these videos, I just was able to fix it for her.

[@ShadowSniper81]

First video I came across, this is exactly my problem and it looks like the one you showed. Bless people like you who share their knowledge.

[@twistedvoodooful]

Sir? You are a goddamned hero...actually, From what I've seen so far, you are setting yourself up for one hell of a super hero tale.

[@bartito15]

Thank you so much!!! Took off the top and sure enough, that’s my leak. Now to find the part and order. Thank you kind sir! 👍🏼

[@bartito15]

Amazon delivered the part today, took about 10 minutes to change the part out. Wash running right now. No leaks. No problem! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@mariodiy4517]

You're the best. I thought I had a leak in the drum assembly. But realized the leak was coming from the top of it. Which led me to the valve assembly as shown. Thanks!

[@johnnybhoy4278]

I love fixing everything myself. Washer bearing leaking changed it. Timer went bad changed it. This POS washer is only about ten years old. My previous washer it was the hot and cold valve that I replaced. The first one I mentioned was free and brand new.

Spot on call, that is exactly the problem with our LG machine leaking water, thank you saved us so much money :D

[@htsclub7718]

Thank you señor .I felt like a professional just pushing the top back .

[@gregtheturner]

I appreciate your videos! I've learned a lot from them! Thanks!

[@ChujieWan]

Simple and clear, thx

[@ashhiro8179]

I dont have this washer but Thank you for your videos! I was able to fix my washer which had a leak and I did think of getting a new one but instead opened it up and fixed the problem for way less! Thank you!!!!

[@beavwarius]

I replaced my drain valve on my whirlpool. Same style. Good info. Thanks.

[@ridinwithdubb5344]

Good on you my friend, thank you, don’t have an LG but shit still enjoy it. Keep it up 👍

[@fredericklewis5925]

Well thanks man you just save me I’m sure 300 bucks because that’s exactly what my problem was. I just now need to find the part number and by the part.

[@thebirdthatshtonyourcar8372]

so meny people complain that it's a "scam" to charge that much, but they had to spend the gas money, and their time to come to your place and fix it, plus they needed to learn how to fix it in the first place. I'm pretty sure 150 to 300 is an adequate price for that.

[@yvetteglover2885]

Thank you for showing 😊. Mine leak some today.

[@MrJake9191]

Awesome work man!!!!

[@duckieash5732]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@mrthiefy]

as an LG authorized servicer. you would pay for the service call which would be $85. and you would pay for the part. and that can be fixed within half an hour so you would not pay anything extra. and I am talking in Canadian dollars.

[@jeanlucdrion1152]

Ive never seen that before in a valve.

[@ramirogonzalez8627]

Awesome I appreciate you very much 😊👍🏼

[@RebeccaFrazier]

Purchased valve from Amazon, did this repair myself. It works.

[@raeannuria5691]

Thank You!

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

I remember replacing a bunch of those. I wonder if they're better on newer models. My old appliance repair boss has an LG now and supposedly no complaints.

[@chaz4471]

Dude!!! You make it look soooo easy

[@NewFlower82]

This was my issue that was discovered when removing the top. Going to hardware store tomorrow to replace the hot water inlet.

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

You're a hero.

[@ximenafrigeriovaldivia5861]

Well, if it's not the problem, neither the drain pump, then from where could be the leak? My top washer GE, and yes!! Not a chance to replace for a new or fix it, your are right about the cost repair.

[@moriscoley5328]

Thank you very much!!!

[@CWK090]

Don't replace the valve assembly unless your sure that is the source of the leak. Another common leak on the LGs is caused by a sticking mushroom valve for the air vent in the rear. It is very easy to clean or replace. If the leak is at the air vent you will see water or a stain from the leak below the vent hole.

[@HughMadBro]

I wanna see you do a portable apartment size haier HLP21N 😂 & see how you work around the little parts.

[@sherrodharris1472]

Well I subscribe and hit the like button cause you thought me something new

[@opensourceecon]

Where do you source the parts?

[@TheSimba86]

I litteraly got a free dryer that just needed a new element

[@johnwyman6126]

Thanks for the video. Can you tell us where to buy an updated or heavier duty longer lasting valve?

[@stargarza1302]

Thank you!

[@kaostheory2940]

I guess LG actually stands for leaks guaranteed

[@washingandmowing15]

no, this was just a fault with older ones new ones fill valves are better

[@lynnbaker9264]

thank you

[@AnthonyWariner]

Thanks 🙏

[@Jumpers422]

I did the exact same repair to my LG front loader. Then I donated the set to Goodwill. I never liked the front loader type.

[@donovanpotier9798]

Thank You

[@bobbywood8992]

That inner drum/tub makes a great fire pit. The rest can go to the scrap pile please.

[@aaronletchford]

Thanks, because iv got an LG Machine

[@MikeWoo35]

This only happens on older LG washers. Not the new ones.

[@USALibertarian]

How new?

[@MikeWoo35]

@USALibertarian Anything that is from 2017 up should not have these values. They are in production anymore

[@alonewolf9768]

Service call $165 Water valve $100/$175 Labor $150/$275 This is like a normal call I take it really depends on how these washing machines are in someone's home if they're easy to get to, or I have to pull this completely out into a hallway to do this job will determine that.

[@theghost7334]

Its do to water hammering cause by the solenoids opening and closing fast

[@andresregino2519]

What’s this part called ? Where to find them? Plz

[@philibeansor5843]

And an a estimate for it as well. Thank you

My LG top load washer makes a LOUD whining sound during draining. Pls respond it’s so bad now.

[@captaindon23]

Question: What if it leaks from the bottom? Could it still be the same issue?

[@steve_main]

yeah that's 1/2 - 1/3 of the cost of a new washer.. I'll get a new washer..

[@olusegunolufowodu9129]

Waiting for your kind response Thank you

[@philibeansor5843]

Was the estimate for the entire job or just the part.

[@BigDH28]

Love your KZbin shorts, but I have never seen a washer that is off balance get fixed... also I never see GE on Your channel. My washer is like a jet engine it wants to take off and just spins faster and faster until it starts banging on the sides.... is it trash??? PLZ HELP! 🙏👍✊

[@darosa420]

How long do you need to have that washer before it looks all rusty like that? Like could those valves be rusty like that after one year? Anybody?

[@TheFrenchPug]

A new washing machine is $600 -$1000k now. For basically the same technology as the last $20 years. I keep repairing my stuff.

[@christiansmith7164]

My washer is leaking in the front right corner(my left if I’m standing in front of it

[@MarkH10]

The valve is $15-50, for us DIYers.

[@valiantgold442]

why do these things only comes for in the usa 😅

[@Thing1DadaThing2Kiki]

Question!! I have a LG front loader (model WM3270CW) there is a flap down panel on the bottom front left where a hose comes out and I always have to drain the water out of it before every wash! It smells to high hell. Is that supposed to fill with water every wash? Am I supposed to be draining the stinky water after every load? What's the purpose? I'm over having to bend down and drain 3-4 large plastic cups of stinky water every time. Any suggestions?? And thanks in advance!

[@washingandmowing15]

no. The filter in the pump area (next to it) is probably dirty and clogged. it’s normal for water to be left there. i suggest cleaning the filter and running a tub clean with an Active washer cleaning tablet and that should help with the smell.

[@TheHamadanners]

Ive replaced mine twice

[@paulc8581]

Question my washer leaks at the pump what's it looks like anyway. Put it outside hooked up water hose and wash clothes outside

[@johnwyman6126]

How much is a new pump?

[@Ano-Nymous]

You won't find a LG or Samsung washing machine in my household. Neither a Samsung TV.

[@The_trees_have_ears]

Probably $1000+ for a new washer vs $350 for a repair? Not a rip off, solid savings

[@Fire0101011]

350 dollars a new machine costed 500

[@jdmdrew575]

Can I add a agitator to my tub. Mine didn’t come with one

[@washingandmowing15]

no

[@arolfghhfc]

you have anything on Electrolux?

[@derrickwith2rs]

I'm actually working on a video of an Electrolux frontload set now!!!

[@Sidfields789]

My rule of thumb, if the machine is more than 6 years old and just about anything on it breaks toss it and buy a new one at a big box store that offers 1 year free financing.

[@Walczyk]

Why is there a 200 dollar difference in the cost of repair?

[@sherlymillender4951]

👍

[@davinci1437]

Is there a way to re use a water valve by not using all 3 Example If it's a top loader like a speed queen or maytag And the customer only uses cold water Can wiring be changed around to use the other valve for got water ?????

[@johnwyman6126]

I think you can remove the hose from the side that's leaking.

[@beryean1366]

Living in an isolated area. I look for parts at the dump. Why buy a new one when you can fix it.

[@thewizard7099]

That part cost like $20 and it takes 10 minutes. If they charge you $300 they are in fact ripping you off

[@johnnybhoy4278]

But they have to diagnose the problem and then get the specific part or have a million spare parts stored somewhere plus their time and gas and let's not forget the license and insurance etc.

[@sya286]

Tbh for $150, that ain’t bad. I’d be the one person to mess this up 😂

[@soulprospector6931]

This same exact part on my LG failed about 2 months ago. It was kinda a pain to find the right replacement part but amazon had one. Make sure to match up the model numbers. Only cost 40 bucks to do it like how this guy did and it was easy.

[@ThePhillyeagle420]

You sound like Amiri king

[@sldavis]

Cheap chynese junk. I remember buying a washer/dryer set from Sears and they worked flawlessly for over 25 years without a single failure. The crap we deal with today.

[@washingandmowing15]

these aren’t cheap Chinese junk. LG is one of the best current brands along with Whirlpool front loaders and their cheap top loaders. everything else sucks that’s sold now.

[@sldavis]

@@washingandmowing15 Still cheap chinese junk. LG before they spent $$$$$ on re-branding was previously known as GoldStar, which was cheap crap available from Consumers Distributing. Cheap crap then, cheap crap now. All of them are cheap chinese garbage. If they weren't so poorly made you wouldn't be posting videos of how to repair complete trash.
