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.

Symptoms of a bad gasket include: 

• Water leaking from the outer tub during operation
• Excessive moisture in areas surrounding the washer 
• The tub making creaking or grinding noises
• Decreased washing or spinning performance

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

Symptoms of a bad Washer Door Lock Switch include:

• The washing machine refusing to start, despite the door appearing to be closed.
• The door failing to lock properly, or the lock releasing prematurely during a cycle.
• Error messages on the washer's display related to door closure issues.
