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.

Stephen, If the pump is defective on arrival you will want to call customer service at 877-477-7278. For the shaft breaking sounds like something getting caught in the pump assembly.

Don, The only way to clean the drain level of the drum would be to disassemble the unit to clean the inner drum. If you need to clean the filter on the drain pump then there would be a access door that you open and then unscrew the filter and pull it out.

Ray for Model Number WM3875HVCA

I have noticed that no matter how many times I rinse clothes there are still suds/soap bubbles every time fresh water is added during the rinse like more soap has been added. We have always used the same amount of detergent and this happens even when adding only 1 tablespoon of detergent. I have checked for blockages in all of the tubing connected to drum/pumps. There is no blockage in the filter. The water drains from the tub and there are no error codes being shown. I have rinsed some clothes 5-6 times and every time water is added it looks like more soap has been added. Detergent dispenser is empty/clean. After a rinse, you can open the filter housing and see a lot of suds in there as well. Could this be a bad/failing pump?

Hello Ray, This is most likely a soap build up in the outer tub after years of excessive soap has been put into the unit. You should run a sanitation cycle with hot water and white vinegar to attempt cleaning out the residue from the parts of the unit not reachable without a teardown.

Kelli, If you put the unit into a drain and spin then you can test the pump for 120 vac. If there is power but not pumping then this will be a faulty pump and if no power then the main board.

Michael for Model Number Wm2487h*ma

Hi. Two questions. First, my manual has a “*” instead of an “m” in the model number. I assume that’s still the same machine and this part will work? Second, I only get an “oe” error message intermittently. The drain tube doesn’t appear to be clogged and neither does the drain pipe. I’d say it drains without an issue 50% of the time. Would you still guess that the pump should be replaced or could this be some other issue? Thanks!

1 Answer

Michael, You will want to check the power getting to the drain pump when it is supposed drain. If there is intermittent power then check the wiring to make sure that the wiring is good and if the wiring checks ok with intermittent operation then it would be more likely the board that is the issue.

Hello Ka, You will need to order EAU61383503 for the model provided. I'm sorry but we do not have a video on this specific model for changing the drain pump.
