Benjamin M Lynchburg , VA December 12, 2015 Appliance: Model LG WM2010C It was leaking quite a bit out of the bottom sides and back between the washer and accessory shelf (front loader on top of lg shelf unit) ****** always make sure the unit is fully unplugged from the power before you do anything with the outside of the unit to work inside of the unit and while you are working inside the unit... Also make sure that you turn the hot and cold water intake valves off and make sure you don't pull too much on the two water intake hoses that lead to your washer because they can leak with too much pressure exerted on either end******* 1. Took top off unit by unscrewing mounting brackets at two similar points on the back and top. 2. Slid top barely 6inches back and lifted top off. 3.The bellows coming from the top mixing compartment leading down to the drum had a quarter in diameter tear around the top elbow going underneath the first bend down. 4. Took a Phillips head screwdriver and loosened the brackets on both ends of the black rubber bellows in order to detach it from both plastic tube entrance and exit points. 5. Slid brackets towards middle of bellows and once bellows detached, took brackets off and put them both on new bellows the same way they were on the original and worked the new rubber bellows onto both plastic tube entrance and exit (make sure it's on fully and tight... Will take some time to work them in fully but not too much where it could possibly tear the tubing. 6. Move the loosened brackets back on the joints in the grooves (will be a little difficult due to tightness of brackets while loosened) then retighten the screws and gently feel for a good fit around both brackets and pull to make sure they will not move or budge. 7. Replace top making sure to leave the 6inch gap from front panel of unit to the front of the top, slide it in where it will lock with the four pegs on the top of the sides and screw the two screws back into both mirrored spots on the bracket and you are done.

Douglas D Phoenix , AZ March 13, 2024 Appliance: LG Washing Machine WM2450HRA Severe leak from the LG front load detergent drawer. Thanks to AppliancePartsPros.com, I was already familiar with the inside of the washer due to replacing the door seal (Thanks guys!) and the readily available diagrams. So going in this time was easy to identify the problem. Opened up the top, and easily identified the dispenser hose as the problem for the overflow out of the dispenser drawer. Though I didn't see any obvious problems, once I removed the Dispenser Hose (which is a breeze) I found a blockage leading into the drum. Apparently a tissue or piece of paper towel made its way through the system into this small opening and blocked the water flowing into the washer's drum. Though the hose itself was not "bad", I still replaced it with the new OEM since I was there and AppliancePartsPros.com offers it at such a reasonable price. Replaced hose and top of unit and all work beautifully. (NOTE: LG, like all others I'm sure, recommends cleaning the detergent dispenser regularly to prevent build up. Apparently during one of these times, my primary user ripped a piece of paper towel during the cleaning process which eventually made it's way down to the drum and its small opening that eventually blocked all ability for water to enter the drum.) While it's a rather large hose, it's a small slit that feeds the water into the drum that can easily get blocked/clogged from buildup or, yes, a piece of paper towel! No matter what, I couldn't have done it without AppliancePartsPros.com. Thanks again for another successful home repair.

Donald H Tustin , CA July 03, 2015 Appliance: Amana Gas Dryer LG1009W Water leaking from my front load washing machine Removed the top cover while the machine was operating, located the source of the leak. The top filler tube had worn a hole in a flex point. Found the right part on this site, replaced it with little effort. While in there I saw a similar hose and decided to replace it as its time was probably up too. So far so good, washing clothes and no leaks!! Great prices and best of all the right parts were delivered in a timely manner. Thanks for making this so easy. Only specialty tool used was hose clamp pliers. Channel locks would have worked but the right tool for the job made this much smoother. Great opportunity to clean behind the machine, change out supply hoses and clear dryer ducts.

Lane C Pleasant Garden , NC February 24, 2015 Appliance: LG Washer WM2688HNMA The washer sounded like a jet plane when it went through the spin cycle very loud noise I originally thought the washer had a bad bearing, but once I got it disassembled it the spider arms were broken. This required the replacement of the tub assembly. While replacing the tub I replaced all of the water bellows. The parts came quickly, the live chat and videos were very helpful. This washer has to be completely disassembled to replace the drum, so mark all the screw locations, tag and bag everything and take lots of pics. It was a very rewarding project and hundreds of dollars cheaper than a service call Read More... 14 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Michael M Newbury , MA December 14, 2015 The washer appeared to be leaking Based on info around the web and your site I chose to replace all of the bellowed hoses (3) in the machine, as I did not know which bellow was leaking without taking the washer apart first. If one hose was old enough to leak I figured the others were not far behind. The appliance parts pros videos were very helpful, although I chose to replace the drum drain bellows via access through the rear panel thereby saving myself the time of disassembling the front of the machine, as was instructed. In the end none of these hoses were my problem, but I replaced them anyway and learned a lot more about how the machine functions in the process. The culprit was an intermittent supply hose valve on our wall behind the washer. Occasionally it would leak, spraying the bottom rear of the machine, leaving a puddle running out underneath the front. Replacing those solved the problem and I'm confident that I won't have any leaks stemming from hoses inside the machine. I also took the time clean the mold that was accumulating in hidden portions of the soap tray. I used a HE tub cleaner (Tide) and ran it through a number of cycles to rid the machine of internal mold & scale not visible inside the drum.
