Washer Pump

This was Kenmore front load washer made by LG. Model 796.41302610 First, AppliancePartsPros.com has been great. This is my fourth time using them. Staff, DIY comments, and videos are all very helpful. Always ended up with the right part and received next day. The machine made an odd noise on start-up. I ran diagnostics. Had a problem finding how to do diagnostics since the instructions in the manual were wrong. Found the correct process on YouTube. Needed to hold the spin and soil buttons... Read more

• Will not drain

I drained the pump and removed coins etc from pump drain screen. This did not solve the problem, so I called Slagers, our local appliance store in Iowa City. The repair man came out two days later in the AM. He drained the pump again and checked the codes--he had to use our wireless internet because Sprint would not work from our house to determine the error code problem. He said it was the pump. I assumed he would call his Parts Dept for price and availability. Wrong assumption! He... Read more

I sent pictures to ChatGPT, told it the problem, and asked for a possible diagnosis. ChatGPT walked me through what to check for—- I looked at what ChatGPT suggested, and I concluded that the pump was either broken or worn out. I made the decision to spend for the pump and shipping. The amazing thing is that instead of arriving Monday it arrived on Saturday. I was able to complete the repair with the help of ChatGPT so that I could do washing on Saturday night before I went out of town. I am... Read more

Drilled a 4/1/4 inch hole in the front for regular cleaning access and went through the back. I did not remove the front of the unit because it is a stacked. Read more

I also noticed one of the two water recirculation outlets near the front door was no longer spraying water. When I took it all apart, I found that these two tub water recirculation outlets are both connected to the pump.. one was clogged. The impeller on the drain pump was no longer spinning with the motor.. looks like it was worn on the inside.. when I took the pump apart it was full of scale. I could have just ordered the motor...but I figured I would replace the entire assembly as I also... Read more

Washing machine pump failed with the washing machine full of water. Replacing a pump used to be a bear of a job with belts, pulleys, etc. but I thought that I should give it a look before I called the repairman. This one turned out to be a small discrete unit bolted to the bottom of the washer. I ordered the new pump, which came very quickly to my door. It was a ten minute job to replace it. One thing that I did that made the job much less of a mess was to use a wet vacuum on the... Read more
