Brian B Canton , GA July 26, 2021 Leaking pump. Replaced the pump, as well as the hoses from the tub to the pump and the pump to the drain. Wasn’t sure if it was truly the pump or one of the hoses. I completed the repair without taking the washer out of the laundry room. That was a tight squeeze and a reminder of how old I’m getting as I was cramped down behind the washer for most of the time. After unplugging the washer and removing the back panel, I drained the water from the drain line and pump ( by removing the drain hose) and then disconnected the hose from the tub to the pump. Removing the pump was really easy. Just 3 bolts (that were in rough shape) and then unplugging the wiring harness and removing the old pump. Putting in the new one was pretty straightforward. The 3 bolts went back in and the harness connected where the old one was removed. I replaced the hoses and then ran a short load to check for leaks. Once I knew I didn’t have any leaks, I replaced the back and pushed it back against the wall. Lastly, I basked in the wife’s attention for fixing the washer. I let her think it was harder than it really was. Read More... 5 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Ashlie T Lincoln , RI February 06, 2021 Appliance: Model LG WT5680HWA Washer was leaking a small amount from underneath. Tilted the washer so it leaned forward and propped it up on something sturdy as the washer is in a tight area. I pulled the metal clips from the ends and because I was in a very tight space, resorted to using a utility knife to cut the old leaking tube off one side and was able to wiggle the end connecting to the underside of the washtub off. A small butterknife was helpful to release the sealant. The most challenging part was wiggling the new tube into the place under the washtub and getting the clip up to the ring on the tube it nestles into. Again, it is a tight space that'd required me to remove a toilet or a small sink vanity to pull the washer out enough to have room to work. I'm a smaller size female with average strength and I did this by myself-it's a VERY do-able fix. There was a bit of sealant used to install the tube but this washer was left by the previous owners so I'm not sure if it's been replaced before ( according to Q&A with this part sealant is not necessary and is not often used by manufacturers. I've washed 3 loads of laundry and there hasn't been a drop of water leaking. Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
