The Tub to Pump Hose is an OEM replacement part for LG top-load washing machines. This hose safely transports water between the wash tub and drain pump. The hose measures 13 inches in length.

Causes of failure relate to constant flexing under water pressure strains that accumulate over years of usage. Excess minerals in hard water areas promote accelerated breakdown of flexible PVC material.

Symptoms of a cracked or leaking tub to pump hose include: 

• Water not draining or taking an abnormally long time
• Water continually accumulating inside the machine cabinet   
• Error codes related to drainage issues displayed  
• Puddles forming near or under the back of the washer

The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines, designed to control the flow of water into the laundry tub. This part is responsible for opening and closing to allow water into the wash drum at the appropriate times during the wash cycle, providing the correct water level and temperature.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly can include mineral deposits blocking the valve, electrical failure preventing the valve from opening or closing properly, or physical damage to the valve mechanism itself.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly include:

• Inadequate filling of the washer drum
• Water entering the drum when the washer is off
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle
• Water that is too hot or too cold, indicating a failure in valve operation that controls temperature

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Dispenser Hose is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It connects the detergent dispenser to the washer tub, allowing detergent and other cleaning agents to be delivered effectively during the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad dispenser hose can include regular wear and tear, damage from harsh detergents, or physical damage due to kinks, pinches, or impact. Over time, the hose can become brittle, cracked, or clogged, affecting its ability to function properly.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser hose include:

• Leaks or drips from the hose area
• Detergent not dispensing correctly or at all

The Tub Seal Gasket is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It creates a tight seal between the inner and outer tubs during the wash cycle, preventing leaks and containing water. The gasket helps prevent water from escaping the tub. 

Causes of a bad gasket can include wear and tear from repeated use over time, exposure to cleaning chemicals or extreme temperatures, or damage from handling heavy loads. 

Symptoms of a bad gasket include: 

• Water leaking from the outer tub during operation
• Excessive moisture in areas surrounding the washer 
• The tub making creaking or grinding noises
• Decreased washing or spinning performance

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Washer Gasket is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It is a flexible seal that lines the opening of the washer tub, creating an airtight barrier to prevent water leaks and ensure proper containment during the wash and spin cycles.

Symptoms of a bad washer gasket include:

• Water leaking from the front of the washing machine
• Excessive moisture or condensation buildup around the gasket area
• Difficulty in properly closing and latching the washer door due to a worn or damaged gasket

Causes of a washer gasket failure can range from general wear and tear over time, to physical damage from being pinched or cracked, to improper installation or alignment issues.

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

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

Causes of a faulty pump filter assembly can include excessive lint accumulation, damage to the filter screen or housing due to impact or mishandling, and general wear and tear over time.

The Dispenser Inlet Hose is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This hose directs water from the water inlet valve to the detergent dispenser, ensuring that water mixes with the detergent before entering the drum for efficient washing. The hose is designed to withstand high water pressure and temperature fluctuations.

Over time, the dispenser inlet hose can become clogged, cracked, or worn out due to regular use. Causes of a bad inlet hose include mineral deposits or debris buildup, wear and tear, and exposure to high temperatures or pressure that can cause the hose to degrade.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser inlet hose include:

• Leaking water around the detergent dispenser area
• Reduced water flow into the dispenser
• Visible cracks or wear on the hose
• Incomplete dissolution of detergent during wash cycles

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

This inlet hose routes incoming water from the washer's fill valve into the machine to support proper filling. Replace a cracked or leaking hose to stop drips, prevent water damage, and restore reliable fill performance.

• Directs incoming water from the fill valve to the dispenser/tub during wash cycles
• Maintains a sealed path to prevent internal or external leaks
• Helps the washer reach proper fill levels and timing
• Common symptoms of failure: water on the floor, leaks during fill, visible cracks or bulges, long/no fill or IE error

• Unplug the washer and turn off both hot and cold water supplies
• Keep towels or a pan handy; relieve residual water pressure before disconnecting
• Note the original routing; fully seat the hose on fittings and secure with existing clamps
• Restore water and power, then run a quick fill to check for leaks
