Symptoms of a bad vent hose include:

• Excessive moisture or condensation inside the washer
• Musty odors from the washing machine
• Visible cracks or holes in the hose
• Poor ventilation leading to inefficient washing cycles

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Inner Door Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It secures the inner door gasket in place, ensuring a tight seal to prevent water leaks during the wash cycle. This clamp is essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the washing machine by keeping the door gasket firmly in position.

Over time, wear and tear, exposure to water and detergent, or accidental mishandling can compromise the integrity of the clamp, leading to potential leaks.

Symptoms of a bad inner door gasket clamp include:

• Water leaking from the door area
• The door gasket not staying securely in place
•  Visible damage or corrosion on the clamp

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Pump Hose is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It is a flexible tube that connects the pump assembly to the internal tub and spins through the detergent dispenser area. The pump hose is responsible for circulating and removing water during the wash and rinse cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad pump hose include:

• Leaks or water not fully draining from the washer 
• Slow or inefficient filling and draining of water  
• Pump running loudly or continuously
• Wet areas under or around the washer

Causes of failure can be cracks or splits developing in the tubing from repeated bending and flexing over time, or blockages restricting water flow.

It is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This part may be black or gray in color.

The Outer Door Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is designed to secure the outer door gasket, ensuring a tight seal between the door and the drum. This helps prevent water leaks during the wash cycle and maintains the efficiency of the washing machine.

Causes of a bad outer door gasket clamp can include regular wear and tear, damage from heavy use, or corrosion over time. A compromised clamp can lead to a loose gasket, resulting in water leaks and reduced washing machine performance.

Symptoms of a bad Outer Door Gasket Clamp include:

• Water leaking from the door area during wash cycles
• A loose or misaligned door gasket
• Difficulty in securing the door properly
• Visible rust or damage on the clamp

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Pump Filter Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It is a crucial component that filters out lint, debris, and other particles from the wash water, preventing them from recirculating and damaging the pump or other internal components.

Symptoms of a need to replace the pump filter assembly:

• Clogging or blockages, leading to poor drainage or water not draining completely
• Excessive buildup of lint, hair, or other debris in the filter screen
• Leaks or water seeping from the filter housing or surrounding area
•  Unusual noises or vibrations during the drain or spin cycles, indicating a potential blockage
