This is a drain hose assembly for top-load models of LG washing machines. This hose specifically is used to allow water to drain from the tub to the drain pump of the washer. This hose is made of plastic and comes with two clamps to secure it within your washer, one on each end. If you notice your washer is leaking check to make sure if this hose is cracked or damaged, because it will need to be replaced immediately. This drain hose is an OEM part that is sold individually and will require you to disassemble part of your washer to replace it.

This is an authentic LG water inlet valve for a top-load washer. It is designed to control the flow of water into the washer. If your washer is filling slowly, making loud noises, overflowing, or stopping in the middle of a cycle, you may need to replace the water inlet valve. Be sure to disconnect the power and water supply before you begin this repair.

Customer Repair Stories

Water overflow in washer basin

I diagnosed by running a full wash. I watched it and when the water should have stopped it kept running. I unplugged the washer from the power and the water kept running. This told me the inlet valve was the issue and not an electronic issue. I stopped the water by closing the water valve manually. Replacing the inlet valve was very easy. Hardest part is moving the washer out of the laundry room. The videos online show very simple steps. Maybe 8 screws to remove and a couple of hoses and five electronic connectors. Take a photo of connectors before removing them to ensure you reconnect properly.

This drain pump is for washers. Drain pump removes water from the washer during the drain portion of the cycle. Unplug the washer before installing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
