Lg Washer WM3455HS Leaking

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 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 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 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.

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