LG Front Load Washing Machine Pump Assembly Replacement

Inleiding

Use this guide to replace the pump assembly in your LG front load washing machine.

The pump assembly drains the tub and expels wastewater out of the washer. It includes the drain pump and drain filter housing.

This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.
