Symptoms of a compromised casing include:

• Water leaks near or below the pump assembly
• Noisy or grinding pump noises during water fills or drainage
• Error codes related to water flow issues

This casing fits LG top load models as well as some Kenmore configurations. 

The Float Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part monitors and controls the water level within the appliance. It's a safety feature that prevents water overflow and potential flooding, contributing to the efficient operation of the washing machine by maintaining the correct water level for each cycle.

Causes of a bad Float Assembly can vary from simple blockages that prevent the float from moving freely to electrical faults within the switch mechanism. 

Symptoms of a bad Float Assembly include:

• Water overflowing from the washing machine
• Inadequate water levels that affect the washing cycle's effectiveness
• The washing machine failing to start the fill cycle due to a malfunctioning float switch

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Damper is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It plays an important role in regulating airflow through the machine's drying system. The damper uses adjustable louvers to direct warm air emitted during the drying cycle. 

Causes of a faulty washer damper include broken internal mechanisms preventing louver movement, and restricting optimal air dispersion. Dust or mineral buildup can also impact function over time.

Symptoms of a problematic damper are

• incomplete or lengthy drying cycles.
• Clothing may still feel damp even after an extended run
• Excessive lint accumulation could also point to improper air management

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

The Vent Hose is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This hose is essential for ensuring proper ventilation within the washer, allowing air to circulate and preventing the buildup of moisture and mildew. It helps maintain the efficiency of the washing machine by facilitating the expulsion of air and excess water vapor during operation.

Symptoms of a bad clamp include:

• Water leaking from hose connections
• Hoses coming loose or detaching during operation
• Visible rust or damage on the clamp
• Poor water flow or pressure issues

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

The Outer Tub Gasket is an OEM replacement part for LG front-load washers. Situated between the front and rear outer tubs, it forms a critical seal preventing water leaks during fills and cycles. Constructed from durable yet flexible rubberized material, this gasket withstands constant compression from tub movements.

Causes for replacement are cracks developing from years of flexing stresses, as well as distortions that compromise sealing integrity. Normal seal compression can also cause gradual wear of sealing material over time.

Symptoms of a faulty front-load outer tub gasket include:

• Puddles or drips of water between or behind the wash tubs
• Dried mineral deposits from leakages around tub connection points

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

The Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This filter screen is designed to fit inside the water inlet valve, ensuring that debris and sediment are filtered out before the water enters the washing machine. This helps maintain clean water flow and protects the internal components of the washing machine from damage caused by particles.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen can include clogging due to sediment buildup, damage from high water pressure, or wear and tear over time. Regular inspection and cleaning can help prolong the life of the filter screen.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Filter Screen include:

• Reduced water flow into the washing machine
• Long fill times or failure to fill
• Sediment or debris found in the wash water
• Error codes related to water intake issues

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

The Motor Rotor Bolt is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It secures the rotor to the motor shaft, playing a crucial role in the efficient functioning of the motor and ensuring the washer drum spins correctly during wash cycles.

Symptoms of a bad motor rotor bolt include:

• The washer drum not spinning or spinning irregularly
• Unusual noises during operation, such as banging or clunking
• The washer failing to complete cycles or stopping mid-cycle
• Visible wear or damage to the bolt or surrounding components

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

The Suspension Spring Holder is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This holder supports the suspension springs that help stabilize the washer drum during operation, reducing vibration and movement. It plays a critical role in ensuring smooth and quiet operation of the washing machine.

Over time, the suspension spring holder can become worn or damaged due to regular use, heavy loads, or accidental impacts. Causes of a bad suspension spring holder include wear and tear, physical damage, or corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad suspension spring holder include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash cycles
• Unusual noises, such as banging or clunking
• The washer drum appearing misaligned or sagging
• The washing machine moving or walking during operation

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

This three coil solenoid is used for the cold water, bleach dispenser and prewash.

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
