Merrit S Austin , TX August 31, 2019 Appliance: Model WM2277HW (ABWEEUS Clogged drain hose broken drain pump rusty door gasket clamp My 10+-year-old LG washer stopped draining and was displaying the “OE” error message. After emptying quite a but of garbage from the filter, I noticed that the small drain hose next to the filter was completely full and clogged with sand. It was like concrete and no way was I going to be able to clean it out. So, I read some online forums, and watched a bunch of you tube videos, and decided that the drain pump was probably the reason for the “OE” message. I ordered a new drain pump, a new hose, and a new door gasket clamp (I could see mine was rusty and for $5, I decided to get another one just in case the old one broke) The parts came In a day and 1/2 ~ amazing! - and I was able to do the repairs myself in a few hours. Saved a couple of hundred bucks, for sure. If you’re thinking about attempting this repair yourself, go for it! It was the first time I’d ever done it and it was not difficult at all.

Richard H Grayslake , IL November 26, 2019 Appliance: Model WM2016CW (ABWEEUS) Noisy and not draining I googled LG Washer part number which led me to Appliancepartspros.com There I read about the noise and burning smell which was a broken Spider Arm Assy. Ordered all parts I thought I needed for complete repair so I wouldn't have to open up for years to come (Bearings, seals). After the repair was complete, the washer still would not drain. removed the front panel again to access the pump, opened housing and found rubber-like debris behind the impeller. Reassembled and now drains. Washer works perfectly, and might go another 15 years! The front boot was the hardest item to do, found a video on-site to watch. BTW, the front panel is like handling razor blades! wear gloves, still, have a good bleeder going.

Teressa M Pittsville , WI December 04, 2016 Water wouldn't drain I figured it was the drain pump motor since the drain't hose was fine/not clogged or kinked so I ordered a new drain pump motor. When the new motor came in I replaced it and it worked. It was much easier just to turn the washing machine on its side and change the motor through the gaping hole at the bottom rather than taking off the top and front panel of the washing machine.
