Kenneth L Telford , PA October 16, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer LSC5000PQ2 Washing machine not draining completely I searched YouTube and found several videos that helped me diagnose the most probable cause. I learned how to open the cabinet and access the parts from the videos. I ordered a new discharge hose and a replacement pump. The parts came in the next day with the standard shipping option! It turned out that the old discharge hose was blocked. I decided to replace the pump also since I had the machine open and the new pump was only $22. It's amazing what you can learn online!

Sanjiv C Metairie , LA February 06, 2017 Whirlpool washer was leaking from bottom Washer was about 7 years old and was leaking from bottom when tub had water in it. The hose from the pump motor to tub had a crack so I replaced it. While the machine was open, I also went ahead and replaced the long drain hose that went from the pump motor to the drain and also the pump motor as well. I also ended up replacing my hot and cold water inlet hoses from the wall to unit as those looked worn as well.

Thomas Z Crown Point , IN August 25, 2020 Water leak. Surmised it was a water pump. Watched the videos on repair/replacement and it was simple. Unfortunately I missed the dry newspaper trick until after replacing and after replacing pump and using the trick realized it was the discharge hose. Its all good as I now have a new pump and discharge hose. A side note, I also purchased a center tub seal in the event I need to make that repair. Read More...
