Customer Questions and Answers for Genuine Lg Washer Drain Pump And Motor Assembly by Lg

4.89 (64)
By: Lg
Part Number: OEM15985173
Manufacturer Part Number: 4681EA2001T

The Drain Pump and Motor is an original LG (OEM) replacement part for LG made washing machines that is responsible for removing water from the washer at the end of the wash cycle. The pump forces water out through the drain hose so that clothing comes out free of excess water, making the drying process faster. 

Symptoms of a failing Drain Pump Motor include:

  • Water not draining out of the washing machine 
  • Noisy or unusual sounds coming from the pump area during the drain cycle
  • The washing machine stopping mid-cycle

Causes of a bad Drain Pump Motor can range from obstructions in the pump or hose, which can strain or damage the motor, to wear and tear from regular use leading to motor failure. Electrical issues can also affect the motor's performance, preventing it from operating correctly.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Ruschin for Model Number wm1814cw

Hello. The video on how to replace the pump was complete and well done. Thank You. The only concern I have is that when I took things apart I took a picture of the pump and wires before I disconnected. The old pump had the red wire going to the L on pump and the brown(black) to the N on the pump. The video had indicated these in reverse (Red to N and Brown/Black to L). Does this matter or determine which way the motor/pump spins? Also, everything is back together and working, get the new pump makes much more noise than the old one. A lot of loud humming and a intense vibration almost screaming at a specific point in each cycle. Didn't know if this is normal? Yet machine seems to be working. Thoughts?

Answer

Ruschin, the line, and neutral placement does make a difference. You will want to ensure that the wires were placed on the new pump as they were on the old pump. If the wires were connected backwards, then this can cause more wear on the motor. In regards to the vibration, you may want to ensure that the drain pump and housing are secured fully as a loose fit can cause excessive vibration.
