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.

Charlie, You will want to check the drain pump, hoses from the bottom of the tub all the way out the drain to make sure that they are not clogged. This can cause the unit to not drain and spin.

Hello Scott. See if the hose is bad or if you need to replace the housing on the unit. You will need to look to determine where the water is coming from.

Nancy, There is only one drain pump on your unit. Before you replace the drain pump you will want to ensure that it is not clogged and make sure that the drain from the bottom of the tub to the outside of unit is not clogged. These things could cause the unit to not drain properly. If they all check ok then you will want to make sure that he pump is getting power and if it is then replaced the pump.

Larry for Model Number LG WM0642HW Washing machine

My LG WM0642HW washing machine stops part way through the cycle with a flashing OE. I have taken it apart down to removing and taking apart the pump. No blockage anywhere in the discharge path. So I am assuming either the control board or the drain pump is bad. How do I troubleshoot from here? Should I apply 120V to the drain pump terminals and see if it functions? Not sure how to verify correct operation of the control board. Thanks, Larry

1 Answer

Larry, If you have checked the drain fully including the pump and the impeller is still in place on the pump, Do a spin only cycle which should cycle the drain pump on and do a voltage test to make sure that the pump is indeed getting power. If the pump is getting power but not turning on then you would want to replace the pump.
