The drain pump and motor assembly may also be known as the washer drain pump and is a part for your washer. The drain pump helps expel water from the washing machine.

Note that the pump casing is not included. This medium-difficulty repair may vary, but can generally be started by disconnecting power, then removing the top of the washer by taking out the four back screws and two small brackets. Then, remove the front panel by taking out the two screws and eight tabs that should be taken from the top. Moving down the front of the washer, remove the door, latch, tub gasket, and drain cover. Disconnect the drain hoses and clip from under the drain assembly, and install new assembly from there. Reassemble parts in direct reverse order -- taking photos during disassembly and keeping parts clearly organized can help here. Despite the number of steps, you will only need a standard Phillips screwdriver to complete this repair.

Replacing small water inlet filters orange and blue. Which part?
Hi Danny, it sadly does not appear this parts are sold individually. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
Hi Benny,
Thank you for your question. According to the LG website. The IE error code indicates that the washer is unable to fill with water. To correct this issue, reinstall the drain hose. Clip the end of the hose to the elbow bracket and connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches of the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer. Insert the end of the drain hose into the stand pipe and use a strap to secure it in place. Make sure that both the hot and cold water taps are open fully. If the inlet hoses are kinked straighten them out and if they are damaged replace them. If the inlet filters are clogged with debris, give them a thorough cleaning. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

The washer would intermittently smoke during the spin cycle. It appears that it is happening more often. The washer does not make any loud noises. The washer came with the house when I purchased the house which was over 10 years ago. Can you determine the issue and would it be worth repairing or replacing the entire unit?
Hello Daniel, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, this issue could happen when the drum is loose and rubs against the gasket. Also, when the drain pump is stuck. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix the issue: Ball Bearing, part number PS12072605, Drain Pump, part number PS3579318, and Door Gasket, part number PS3535199.

Washer doesn't spin clothes dry. I changed the pump. The pump is working, the washer spin but the clothes are still wet. Why?
Hi Stephan,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not spinning during the spin cycle, we recommend checking the door lock assembly and the PCB assembly. Before removing and checking these parts, unplug the washer from the electrical outlet. When inspecting the door lock, first clean the area around it to remove any detergent and fabric softener residue that may have built up. If this does not resolve the issue, inspect the door lock for signs of wear, damage, or cracking. If find any signs of damage, you will need to replace the door lock. When checking the PCB assembly, check it for signs of damage, wear, scorching, or burn marks. If you find any signs of damage, it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Removing the pump was just a mater of disconnecting the drain hoses, and one clip under the drain assembly. 3 screws attach the drain to assembly to the pump and only 2 wires that are clearly marked. Reassembly is just going back through in reverse order of disassenbly. The best thing about this is that it all comes apart with a standard phillips screwdriver.
