When you see the OE error message on your LG washer, that pretty much means there's something wrong with your drain pump. Mine suddenly isn't pumping water out and there's a weird noise when it should be draining. So in this video I'll walk you through detailed step-by-step instructions on how to replace the drain pump on an LG front loading washer! And I encourage you to watch the whole video before beginning your own repair so you're familiar with the process.
To start out, unplug the washer. There are two brackets in the back of the washer that need to come out. But using a short stubby Philips screwdriver helped me get these screws out even though there was very little space to work with. With both brackets out, the top off by sliding it back and lifting it off. Next slide the detergent tray out and remove it.
For the front control panel there are three screws that need to come out. The first two are at the detergent tray opening. The third screw is actually on the inside on the right. Now the front panel can be lifted off. Next keep a towel handy and open the front panel door and drain the water out of the rubber tube into a casserole dish. When all the water is out untwist the coin basket and remove the drain door. Now take out the screw that holds the inner cover on. This will just lift right out. Then take out one last screw in the sheet metal.
Now take out the retaining ring that goes around the big rubber seal. At the bottom there's a spring holding the tension of the ring. To remove it, wedge a screwdriver under the spring and start pulling the ring out of the rubber seal. Then detach the rubber seal from the opening of the washer. On the door latch remove the two screws that hold it on. This will actually detach it from the front of the washer.
Next take out the six screws holding the front of the washer on. And there's actually quite a few things that have to be removed before actually getting to the pump itself. This will be easier to see when watching the video. When the front of the washer is loose just tilt it back a bit and it can be lifted out. But be careful when grabbing it because there are definitely sharp edges on the metal.
You are now at the stage where you can access the pump. Please refer to the video for pump removal. It isn't easy to describe without visual help. When I get the pump out right away I can see that the impeller has broken completely off the pump shaft so this definitely has to be replaced. I had ordered a new pump ahead of time from Amazon and I recommend you do the same before you start your own repair.
The LG washer OE error is caused directly from a damaged pump. With a damaged pump the water won't drain out of the washer and sometimes it will create unusual sounds from inside the washer. There are wires and tubes that need to be removed which is why you'll have to watch the video for the complete repair.
The very last step in the drain pump repair is to put the retaining ring back on. And it's easily the most frustrating and most difficult part. I tried to do it by hand and using screwdrivers many times but could not get it back on. I've seen some videos that make it look easy but the spring on the ring is extremely tight. So I recommend ordering a spring expansion tool before you starting this repair. I paid $12 for it.
If I didn't have this spring expansion tool, I think it's impossible to put the ring back on without injuring fingers or damaging the rubber seal. This tool is definitely a life saver because that spring is super tight and I didn't have anything around the house that could stretch this out. In under 10 seconds with this tool the ring is back on and this repair is complete! My washer now works like normal and water is pumping out just like before. I've listed the $25 pump and $12 expansion tool at top of the description so it's easy for you to find. Hopefully you can see that this is a repair that you can actually do yourself. There's no need to call a repairman.

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
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!
Thank you very much for this instructional video. Easy to follow!
Awesome video. Thank you.
Yes awesome video! Thank you for your help
All of the other women In my family laughed when I said I was going to do this myself!! You made this super easy and I am washing my first load now and it’s super quiet!!! Thank you for this video!!
You’re welcome! Wow! I’m glad you were able to show them you could do it yourself! Nice work!
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.
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!
Same here!!!! I'm trying to figure this out!!!! Thanks for giving me hope!!!!!
I'm a 59yr old mother of five and Nana of four, and I just fixed my washer all by myself! thanks to you!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your success story of repairing your washer! Glad you saved money doing it yourself! Thanks for watching!
As a retired television production teacher I appreciate the quality of your work. Great job plus you solved my washer problem.
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!
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!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
Oh, and dont leave your work light inside when attaching front cover. :-) (Yes I did. Only started the second screw, but I did.)
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.
Bwahahaha, I knocked off a bumper foot and took forever to find it. Got lodged in front in the wire cluster. I was creepy crawling all over trying to find it. Finally.
You are the best. I won. And it's working again. That gasket retainer with the spring is absolutely a (insert nasty word here) I needed 4 hands. Didn't have the plyers.
Your my hero.
Great video! Would be nice if LG just charged an extra $100 for the washer and used a drain pump with a stainless steel impellor that doesn't warp and break. I did three of these pumps on my last LG washer. The replacement pumps they sell last maybe two years, so bookmark this video, folks, you will doing this again and again and again.
Yeah that impeller is plastic and can break easily over time. That’s why I made this video as detailed as possible so that when I need to replace the pump again I can see exactly what I did to replace it. Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Thank you for your help. Made my day off so much better. Now get to relax and watch the Cowboys. If you're ever in San Antonio, I owe you some beer and tacos
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 RUclips 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.
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!
You sir are a life saver. This will save me a lot of money the wife was asking for a new washer. She probably don’t like you much since now she will have to keep the old washer a bit longer. 😂 thanks
Yeah now you don’t have to buy a new washer! You even saved money by not having to call a repairman! Glad my video helped!
Followed the steps to a “T” and this did the trick. Thank you so much!
Excellent video! Ordered a new pump off Amazon replaced in just a couple hours. Great video spring tool and must :-)
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!
Thank you. Did this step by step and it took me 2 hours.
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 !
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!
I echo everyone else's comments about the quality and the helpfulness of this video. The only bits of constructive criticism I have are: 1) It wasn't clear (to me) that you need to position the manual drain hose through the hole in the front panel before attaching the mounting bracket, and 2) It would be helpful to warn novices (like me) to be aware about when they are tightening screws into metal versus plastic. I wasn't paying attention and I think I overtightened the three screws that hold the drain pump bracket to the bottom of the washer. I was waiting for the screws to get real tight but apparently they are screwed into plastic and they never got very tight so I probably stripped all three of the holes. I hope the bracket will stay secure! Thanks for this great video and I hope my comments are helpful to others.
So glad my washer pump replacement tutorial was helpful! I’m glad you were able to do the repair yourself! For me it’s definitely a lot to think about when shooting this video and doing the repair for the first time on camera. I’m learning as I go! I tried to include as many details as possible but it’s easy to forget to mention a few things. But overall as I read the comments this video has helped a lot of people! Thanks for watching!
Keep making home repair videos like this ....RUclips needs this!
I plan on making more videos. The more things break at my house the more videos I can make! Haha! However I don’t really want things to break at my house! Thanks for watching!
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.
Outstanding RUclips 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.
That spring tool is great, it made putting the spring back on a breeze. I knew about the sharp edges and was very careful, but somehow I found i cut my index finger near the end of the job. This video helped greatly!
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 RUclips 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!
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!
God bless this man! You saved me from dragging my washer to the curb and buying a new one! Great great great how to video! Thanks bud!
You’re welcome! Really glad my washer pump replacement tutorial helped! Really saves money when you can fix it yourself! Thanks for watching!
This is such a great step by step video, this is what we used to repair our washing machine on Thanksgiving day. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Wow! You did the repair on Thanksgiving! So glad you were able to follow along with my video. I know it seems a bit intimidating to disassemble part of your dishwasher but when it’s laid out step by step it’s not so bad! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
@@digitalcamproducer Thank you and I am wondering if anyone else has had the same error code show up AFTER we replaced the drain pump (in our front loading washer) it read tE which says it's a thermistor but since we have no heating element we think it could be the control panel. WE are learning so much and it started with your video! Thanks again.
I watched your video several times and decided I could not afford to throw out my LG washing machine. So I ordered the part and the tool to install the wire. You are awesome. I completed the pump replacement and my machine is working perfectly. Thanks a million. PEOPLE PLEASE CHECK YOU POCKETS before doing a wash... All the best. David.
You’re welcome! I’m really glad you were able to replace the pump yourself! It’s not difficult but there are a lot of parts to remove first. Glad you saved money by not having to call a repairman! Nice work!
I should've watched this video first before ordering the drain pump. None of the other videos mention the spring clamp tool.
My replacement pump came with an O-ring, but I didn't see you replace one.
As others have already mentioned, you're camera work is what separates your videos from others. You actually SHOW what you're doing in a close up.
Yeah I didn’t have to deal with an O-ring on my pump. I literally took it out of the box as-is and installed it. I appreciate you noticing my camera work! There are too many videos out there that don’t show the detail of what’s being done. It makes a huge difference when I show a close up letting viewers see exactly what I’m doing. When I get my shots I like to show it like it’s actually in your hands so you can see it all more clearly. Really glad you got your pump replaced! Nice work!
Thank you for this video. I was able to change the pump on my LG washer easily with this video and successfully.
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.
Thanks for posting this video,got my Mechine running in 1:30 minutes
My partner and I had never attempted these types of repairs.Your video was easy to follow, detailed,and extremely helpful to us.thank you
I am a 71 year old female. Because you have described this so very well, I think, I can do this myself. I did buy the tool to pot the spring back on. Wish me luck!!!
Good luck on the washer repair! You can definitely do it! It seems intimidating but it’s not that hard to do. Just lots of screws! You’ll be glad you fixed it yourself! Thanks for watching!
I’m a 67 female and I did it! Husband helped with that infernal wire around the gasket, (we used a couple of zip ties to pull the spring apart instead of the specialty tool pliers). Warning: Definitely a 2 person job without the pliers. Go for it! I believe in you! How did it go??
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.
We just wanted to give you a huge SHOUT OUT for just helping us save hundreds of dollars, I am so glad I came across your amazingly detailed video of this repair. We did everything you said, right down to the spring expander tool (so important!) and 2-3 hours later, we have a working washer again!! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this repair video… and helping people who had no idea that we would be capable of fixing something like this, you were with us every step of the way!! … After Joe Roberts buys you a beer, we’ll be buying you another round!! THANK YOU again so very, very much!! 😊🙏🏼
You’re welcome! Makes me feel like my time was well spent making this video when I hear stories like yours. I’m really glad you got the repair done and saved money doing it yourself! Thanks for watching!
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!!!!
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. 😁
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!
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!
Best how to video I’ve ever seen. Well done.
Thanks! Just replaced mine today! Couldn't have done it without your video!
You’re welcome! Really glad you were able to replace the washer pump! Thanks for watching!
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 !!
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!
I recently had the same problem on my washer. Very well done video. Ordered the pump from Amazon, the OEM one not the cheaper one worked like a charm. Thank you very much, sir that was awesome.
Did it, replaced my pump and fixed my washer! Thanks for the video!
This is my first time replacing the pump on my front load LG washer. I dread it but it his video will help. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the level of detail, like the bits about the socket extension depths and sharp sheet metal! I feel like a lot of the How-To's I see always leave something out and it was really comprehensive. Used the affilliate link for the pliers. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video! This is the third time in three years I have watched your video and replaced this pump! I only wish the pump would last.
Wow! You had to replace your washer pump 3 times?
As a fellow appliance maintenance technician and a 90's baby, I'll use my Raiden voice and say "Flawless Victory".
Just used this video to replace our drain pump and it was great. Could not have done it without this video. Our model did have a couple of differences like it was important to put back the door lock before bolting the front door to the washer but other than that we were good. Thank you for such an excellent video.
You’re welcome! Glad my washer repair video helped you get your washer running again! Definitely helps to watch the process before starting your own repair job! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the well made video. It made the drain pump changing job so much easier for me.
Thank you so much ! 57 yr old widow here . You saved me from having to hire someone .
Excellent! Great job doing the repair yourself and saving money at the same time! It’s not too difficult to do once you see what’s involved. I know it definitely helps when I see someone do it first. Nice work! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! You are the only guys who honestly said - you need a bloody spring stretcher not to get mad😉!
Respect!
You’re welcome! You should’ve seen how many times I tried to get that spring on off camera. I just couldn’t do it so I had to order the spring expansion tool to finish making this video! Probably a one time use tool but necessary! Thanks for watching!
@@digitalcamproducer minus camera - same thing with me🙂. Wasted couple hours and had several angry beers lol. Lucky me buddy from work into old car restoration so I managed to borrow one from him🙂.
Thank you so much. You are a life saver. We came home from a long trip and no clean clothes to a broken drain pump. Repair company was at least 3 day wait... I got it done thanks to you in 24 hours (and amazon).
Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience! You got it done faster and way cheaper than a professional repairman! Great work and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the video. Such easy steps. This video has helped us fix our washer machine 2 times, last time we fixed it was year ago. Thank you so much!!!!
Best video I have ever seen!
Excellent job !
Thank you !!
Perfect! Wouldn't have been able to so it without this video!
This is an excellent step by step video. I have a Kenmore machine, which is made by LG, so your video applies to my machine. Thank you very much for making and posting this video. You Rock!!!
So glad my repair was the same on your Kenmore washer! Nice work fixing your washer without having to call a repairman! Thanks for watching!
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!
Nice! You saved time and money by doing this yourself! Nice teamwork on your end! Nice accomplishment! Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
Note: BEFORE STARTING THIS REPAIR BUY THE SPRING EXPANSION TOOL!!!
This a really good video but the author states in the beginning there is a trick to getting the ring back on and says he will tell you later. If you don’t watch the entire video before starting you will not know that you need a specific tool. This tool took me a week to get on Amazon leaving everything in pieces. Not a huge deal but if I had known I needed specific tools I would have waited to start the project. Other than that this was super helpful and saved me a bunch of money. I was able to clean hoses and drains, clean the dispenser tray and I removed the entire gasket and cleaned it (these will be cleaned frequently for now on as they are mold farms). Who knows all the other areas mold grows on a high-end LG front loader but wow!!! Not sure if I would buy it again. Thanks for the video!
Yes! Sorry I didn’t mention the spring tool right from the beginning! It should definitely be ordered at the same time as when the pump is ordered. I think I did the video in the order of how I did my repair because I didn’t have the spring tool originally and had to wait until the tool arrived. I was advising viewers to watch the whole video first so they are familiar with the whole repair process before they start. I tried everything to get that last spring on without the tool and then realized I really needed it. At least for me it was 2 day shipping. But I’m really glad you got your washer working again! Thanks for watching!
No Worries at all, Amazon lost the first shipment caused the delay on the second and the. Delivered them both after canceling the first. And of course I am one of those guys who never watches the or reads all the directions first and just jumps in. Note to others, probably not the best way to do things.
Super helpful video and I hope really appreciate the insight
Just want to say thank you for this post. It saved me big time and $$$! The job went exactly as you described & demonstrated. I bought the spring expansion tool for $12 can, and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for taking the time to do such a complete demo of this repair. I literally was going to buy a new washer because I always have trouble with these front loaders. $58 can for the pump for an LG part. I used your links. This job can be done by anyone who watches this video!!! Great work man!
Thank you, this is the easiest to follow instructional video I've ever came across
Nice! Glad to hear that my washer pump replacement tutorial was easy to follow! Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir! Much appreciated. No LG repair guys around here for 80 miles. Can not imagine how much this would have been. Almost entertained buying a brand new washer. Your video prevented that. Great angles, editing, everything really. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Yeah it would probably several hundred dollars to have a repairman replace the pump! Plus the markup on the parts would drive the overall cost even higher! So glad you were able to make the repair yourself and save money! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I followed the video as i was doing it from the beginning to the end. I’m happy I was able to repair it myself but I’m disappointed that this is an issue that is supposedly normal. I wouldn’t have expected any repairs whatsoever before at least 10 years. This happened after four years. Thanks again for the detailed instructions and clear video angles for each step.
Done, thanks for saving us a bunch of time and frustration!
You’re welcome! Glad my washer repair video helped you save time and money by fixing it yourself! Thanks for watching!
Excellent ! Your No Nonsense Video is Very Helpful. Thank You !! I watched every commercial in it's entirety in hopes that you will receive top compensation.
So glad you enjoyed my washer pump replacement tutorial. Hope you were able to get yours fixed!
@@digitalcamproducer Yes Sir, it was extremely easy after following your tutorial. Thanks Again for your Very Professional, no nonsense video!!! It is much appreciated.
This video was perfect! Left no gaps and I was able to change the pump and save myself a few hundred dollars!
Thank you thank you thank you. Even a non-handyman like me managed to get this done and what more could a video like this do?
You’re welcome! Yeah even if you have no experience doing a repair like this… it’s completely manageable when you know the steps! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
Wow-great job-great pictures-great explanations-
Looking forward to any other repair videos you make!
Duuuuude!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!! I'm the least handy man on the planet but I followed your instructions and totally replaced my own drain pump! THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!!
You’re welcome! I’m really glad you were able to follow along with my video and replace your washer pump! Nice work! This was also my first time replacing a pump but decided to document it on video so I’d know what to do if I had to do it again! Thanks for watching!
Just followed your steps. (Minus the special tool) to do my pump swap. Thank you for this awesome video. My wallet and my wide thank you!
You’re welcome! I love helping people save money on their repairs! And you did it without the expansion tool! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
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!!
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!
Thank you, thank you! You saved us hundreds of dollars by giving us a way to do this ourselves. Your step-by-step instructions were very clear, and we followed them exactly, also buying the spring expansion tool. It all worked like a charm! I'd buy you a beer if you lived nearby. :-)
You’re welcome! Yeah the pump replacement isn’t too difficult to do but it can seem like an intimidating task. I’m glad you got the spring expansion tool and got the repair done! Thanks for watching!
I wish I could send you a picture of the wrench and zip ties I used as an “ expansion tool”. I zip tied one end of the wrench to the wire and then zipped tied the other side and then inserted the wire and then cut the zip ties and it worked like a charm. Thank you again for your video and guidance.
I'm with Joe on this! I just replaced mine today 08/12/21 and I watched your video first ordered parts and spring tool next....2 day shipping....and just 35min I was done from first screw out to last screw in. I owe you a dinner and a beer!
@@sassymexy5655 I could use that picture right about now .. ugh 😩
One of my screws to take the front panel off won’t come out:( tips?
Just fixed my issue for 40 bucks! Thanks for the detailed video. High 5 brother!
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!
I feel really manly right now because
a. I put the gasket retainer back on with my bare hands twice!
b. I had to do it a second time because the spring was in the wrong position because I didn't listen to instructions the first time!
Thanks, very helpful video!
Oh man! Not once but twice with your bare hands! I tried but couldn’t put the spring back on without the spring expansion tool. Excellent work! Thanks for watching!
Lessons learned - make sure the electric leads are properly seated - don't just push them in and think that is good. Don't take the door off. Get the stretchy tool - I made do without by stretching the spring between 2 screws drilled barely through a scrap piece of plywood and then undrilling one screw when the hoop is placed - It worked but not ideal. I removed the lower weight on the drum in order to get better access. An easy 4 bolts to remove and then replace. There are 2 different pumps, if the water doesn't drain make sure to get the "drain" pump and not just any old pump. Finally, thank you for showing me how to fix the washer. Had the same exact problem, impeller broke off.
Great video. It made the job easy. I didn't do a great job of tracking my screws and things would have gone quicker if I had heeded your advice. Thank you.
I’m a girly and I did it all by myself ! Great video! 🙏🏻 plus I ove the fact that you made it so easy for us to press the link and buy the part with no struggle. This is awesome! Thanks 🤑
Excellent! I’m really glad you were able to do the repair yourself! It’s not too difficult to do and you save a ton of money by not having to call a repairman. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment! Nice work!
Really appreciate this video! Would've been stuck with a big repair bill without it!
So glad you were able to fix your washer yourself! Yeah it would’ve been a hefty bill to call a repairman out to do the job! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
Just Replaced Mine
TY for such a great video and explanation of the whole process.
I watched so many videos and finally found this one half way through the repair! Thank you so much!
Thank you for showing every single step. I am not a handyman and was able to fix my machine. We just save $1,500 thanks to you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you were able to save money doing the repair yourself! I wanted to make the video detailed in case I have to do this repair again in the future! Thanks for watching!
Correct work of repair of washing machine, greetings from an electronic technician of Viña del Mar Chile.-
Excellent! I’m really glad you approve of my washer pump replacement tutorial! Thanks for watching!
Now this is how to make a great how to video. Excellent camera and lighting. Very detailed explanation of work being performed. You made my life a lot easier. Thankyou for your time and trouble.
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!
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.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. My husband and I were able to repair our washer and it works great. We saved hundreds of $$ by watching this. We live in an area where there doesn’t seem to be any repairmen. For $60 we were able to make our washer work like it did before.
Excellent! Definitely saves a lot of money doing this repair yourself! It looks a bit intimidating but not too difficult to do. Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
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!
I am not mechanically inclined but this video was so well done and so easy to follow, I was able to fix my washer. This saved me so much headache and a ton of money so huge thanks to the creator!
You’re welcome! So glad you were able to fix your washer yourself! It definitely looks intimidating but going step by step it is manageable! Nice work! Thanks for watching!
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!
Thank you so much for the video. It probably saved me $300.
You’re welcome! Yes doing this fix yourself definitely saves a lot of money! Thanks for watching!
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!
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!
Great video! For the “spring stretching” part at the end I used a scissor, put the two tips in each loop and pull apart. You’ll need someone to help you walk the ring in but it works! Thanks again!
You’re welcome! Glad you found an alternative solution to help with reinstalling the spring. Nice work repairing your washer! Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU! I am not very handy and normally would just call someone to do the job but no one could come out for several days. The Spring Expansion tool was a life saver and made my final step of reassembly a breeze. I struggled with the bolts on the for literally a couple hours, getting them out and then back in. The bolts just didn't come out, eventually I had to pry out with a screwdriver because the rubber feet had got stuck or affixed in place. Then the base wouldn't tighten down when reinstalled. You mention in your video that it is supposed to have some "play" but I didn't catch that until after completion.
Nice work! Glad you were able to do this diy repair yourself and save money! It does seem intimidating to take all those parts off the washer but it’s not too bad. Thanks for watching!
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!
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!
Thanks for this gem of a video. Followed it to the T and worked! Saved me $$$$$. Thank you!!!!
Ty I was successful in replacing my drain pump. That saved a bunch of $$$$, A repairman would have charge ~$500 to fix.
At age 67 I've lived the DIY life out of necessity and not just to save money.
Your video is very helpful and helps build knowledge of repairing an LG washing machine .
OK I'VE NEVER NOT HAD A LIST OF THINGS THAT MUST BE DONE AND HERE AT THIS SO CALLED RETIREMENT AGE ,IM NONSTOP AT TACKLING REMODELING WHICH INCLUDES HAND DIGGING IN 9 CONCRETE FOOTINGS AND RESETTING 6X6 TREATED PORCH POSTS , 3 NEW ENTRY DOORS , DID I GET SIDE TRACKED ? I BUILT MY OWN LOG HOME 33 YEARS AGO FROM THE GROUND UP AND OF COURSE MY LG DRYER IN THE LAST YEAR STOPPED COMPLETELY DRYING A LOAD UNLESS I RAN IT THROUGH " MORE DRY " CYCLE . OK NO BIG DEAL UNTILL WHILE AROUND EASTER MY LG WASHER STOPPED COMPLETELY.
WELL I SPEARHEADED BUYING THE MATERIALS AND LINED UP A CONTRACTOR THIS VERY WEEK TO REPLACE A VERY INTENSE VENTED ROOF ! WHAT ELSE BUT MY WASHER STOPS AND I LAUGHED WHEN I PRICED A NEW SET TO REPLACE MY 13 YEAR OLD SET THAT STILL LOOKED NEW.
WELL IM FIGHTING TERMINAL CANCER , ON HOSPICE AND I REFUSE TO JUST SET DOWN AND DIE . BULSHIT !
MY FAMILY TELLS ME TO JUST GO BUY A NEW SET I SAID NOW WAY. SO VODEOS LIKE YOURS HELPS GREATLY.
I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 675.00 SPENT ON BOTH AND I HAVE ONLY TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM HOSE AND PUMP, NEARLY ALL OEM PARTS . MY WASHER WHEN I PRESSED START ,NOTHING ! I FOUND A TYPICAL FAILURE WHERE THE DRIVE SHAFT SPLINE STRIPPED OUT THE 8.00 REPLACEABLE BUSHING ON THE MAGNETIC DRIVE HUB CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE .
I PRICED ALL THE ELECTRONIC PARTS , ALL THE WEAR PARTS AND IT WAS A NO BRAINER TO DIY. I REPLACED 4 MAIN ELECTRIC PARTS ,THE DOOR SWITCH ,CONTROL BOARD , STATOR AND NOISE REG. PLUS SHOCKS ,PUMP , PUMP HOSE ,WATER PRESSURE SWITCH ,HOT N COLD SOLINOIDS . I EXPECT IT WILL WORK GREAT WHEN IM FINISHED AND FOR CONSIDERABLE LESS MONEY
