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.

Masoud for Model Number WM2688HNM LG Washer

Hi there, I am trying to decide if I need to order a drain pump. I removed the drain and recirculation pumps and checked for continuity using old craftsman volt meter. The drain pumps shows resistance and audible signal sounds. Same test on the recir pump and it shows 23 ohms and no audible sound. I put the unit back together and ran a speed wash cycle, which is 30 min. After 8 minutes from wash to rinse mode, the machine hums and do not move forward. There is water in the tub. I tried this couple of times, with similar result. Although, I may have gone thru the entire cycle the day before including draining after pausing and continuing. Question: Do I need to order a drain pump? recirculation pump or something else is wrong? I did not get an error message...... I am contemplating buying a new washer but if I can fix it, It would be a preferred option. I did change the bearing a few months back. Best Regards, Masoud

Masoud, You will want to check to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the motor. If you are then the issue will most likely be a bad drain pump and if there is no power then the issue will be a faulty main control board.

Joe for Model Number wm2016cw

I bought the water pump that you said fits my lg wm2016cw washing machine (4681ea2001t) but it is different from the original pump , it is similar and appears to fit but in your video it shows removing the plastic cover and replacing it on the new pump, but the old cover will not fit on the new pump. after finding this I did a search and found my original pump looks exactly like 4681ea1007g. can I install the 4681ea2001t in my machine without the plastic cover on it? thanks joe

1 Answer

Joe, Yes the pump can be installed without the cover on it but the cover is mainly for the purpose of if there were any leaks it would protect the wiring of the unit.

Scott, Check to see if there is 120 vac getting to it when the unit is supposed to drain. If the pump is getting 120 vac but not draining then it would would be a bad pump and if there is not 120 vac then this will be a control board issue.

Chris, If there is 120 vac getting to the drain pump but the water is not draining from the unit then this will be a bad drain pump if there are no clogs.

Hello Eugene. No, the impeller should not fall off the shaft on the unit. Thanks.

Denise, This issue sounds like it would be more of an issue with the door lock assembly. There is a spin enable switch in the door lock that if it is faulty it will not allow the unit to drain and spin.

Fritz for Model Number LG WM3570HWA

Front loader LG hi-eff washer just flooded laundry room with water seeping down to lower level drywall and ceiling and floors...causing extensive damage! Have cleaned up most of mess in laundry rm. Removed top and back of washer, and ran 2 TOTAL wash cycles...but no leaks what-so-ever! Your tech said check all hoses for leaks - done! Sez now could be Drain Pump Motor - so how do I know if thats problem w/o spending $70 and going through a lot of work!!?? Thx

1 Answer

Fritz, You will want to try to locate the leak as a drain pump motor typically will not cause the unit to leak unless the pump itself is leaking. It could be that there was a restriction in the drain at the wall and caused this to occur.
