Ted October 08, 2022 for Model Number WT5480CW Attempting to identify drain hose for LG WT5480CW 5.0 cu.ft. washer. Appears to be p/n AEM73213001. upon removal of OEM hose , which required use of flat blade screwdriver & twisting to dislodge around OD from tub outlet & pump inlet , i noted factory used some type of clear-sealant ? possibly clear silicone ? I have a similar 8" hose p/n MEJ62104801#2 (AEM73213001) but it seems a bit short + stretched & easily pulls off even when clamped with provided snap ring from tub bottom outlet which is smooth with no barbs. Does your part no. AP5244718 have a part# on hose (MEJ62104801#2) ? Also, any recommendations on an adhesive sealant to secure / prevent hose from coming off ? I can see hose coming off & making a huge water mess on floor
1 Answer Ted, There should be no need for a sealant on the drain hose and we do not have information on a part number that would show on the hose but the correct drain hose that would be for your unit is AEM73732901. Read More...
Bill October 27, 2021 for Model Number Wt1201cv Due to a leak with the tub to drain pump I replaced with PN AEM732113001. Besides having difficulties getting the old one off I was able to install the new one easily. We ran a load and when it started draining it blew the hose completely off where it meets the tub. Is there a certain position that the clamp is supposed to be attached to the hose to prevent it from coming off? Thank you.
1 Answer Bill, There is no specific spot for the hose clamp as long as it is around the tub stub and the stub on the drain pump it should hold. Read More...
Don February 10, 2020 I have replaced the hose following your procedure and have experienced a large water leak! Am considering using glue/sealant. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Don, any type of glue/sealant is usually not needed or recommended. Suggest you recheck the ports where the hose connects on each end for debris, cuts, scratches, anything that would prevent a watertight seal. Read More...
Brian July 09, 2018 It was indicated that during assembly at the plant, sealer was used with these hoses and the mating surfaces. I'm replacing both hoses and am unable to locate sealant. Is it necessary? Or is it done at the factory to reduce service issues? If necessary can you recommend a sealant for this specific application?
Gertrude May 09, 2018 for Model Number LG WT1201CV Trying to get the hose from tub to pump off tub. are they glued on and have additional clamps? Hose split due to tub movement and need to replace. How do I get old hose off, cut it? If hose fits that tight how do i get new one on.
1 Answer Gertrude, You will want to get under the hose with a flat blade to get it loose as it is most likely just stuck due to the hose being on for an extended period of time. Read More...
