  • This video provides step-by-step instructions for replacing the drain pump motor assembly on Kenmore front loading washing machines with model prefix 796 and LG front loading washing machines. The most common reasons for replacing the pump motor are when the washer is making a loud noise, leaks water, or won’t drain and the problem isn’t caused by the pump or drain hose being clogged by a small sock or other item of clothing.

    Perfect. Very helpful. We didn't believe it would take only 45 minutes to replace the motor. The most challenging part was replacing the spring without the tool. Otherwise a perfect detailed video. Thank you!!

      Yeah, the spring is a booger, lol. Finally got it by using a flat head screwdriver and "prying" around the edges to make it go on.

      ​@@sandspringsgirlplease explain further. I'm stretching it with pliers and levering it with screwdrivers and only managing to scratch the paint. Argh.

    My Pump mounting has three 10mm hhcs bolts holding the pump to the base and 5 Philip’s head screws, holding the pump to that plate. I had to disconnect 3 hoses to get the pump out. There are no screws to remove for my control panel. It just snaps in and out.
    For the record this video made it easy for me to get through to be able to identify my differences, so I am thankful!!

    Ordered the part from Repair Clinic almost midnight Monday, had part by noon Thursday (today), followed directions on video, now have working washing machine, thank you God! Repair Clinic is highly recommended, was a factory LG replacement part for my LG washer. Just a tad different from video (which shows a Kenmore). Thank you so much for the step by step video and thank you to my husband for doing the work! Took about an hour.

    LG washer with OE code
    Would not drain , cycle interrupted
    Cleaned all filters and tubes, no luck
    Sounded like pump not working or at least having trouble pumping water
    Ordered new LG pump
    followed excellent video instructions
    test wash cycle running now, sounds great already
    cleaned the recirculate side and yellow spray nozzle at top of drum
    also cleaned 6 oclock drain in the rubber gasket and cleaned the outlet, lots of buildup
    black drain hose was completely clogged with black gritty mess, my guess is this is what burned out pump
    Thank you for great information

    Parts were slightly different on my Kenmore washer but this video helped a ton. Well laid out and explained everything you need to know.
    Only thing to note is if you don't have a spring expansion tool it's a pain to get the boot back on. I used a wrench and some zip ties to get it back on.

    This video was outstanding and was instrumental in helping me do the job myself. The pump replacement was easy and saved me literally hundreds of dollars. Note that after the pump replacement, I got an "IE" error. By coincidence only I presume, it was a water INLET error. Found the filter on the washing machine COLD water intake valve clogged due heavy mineral water we use. Cleaned delicate filter with took pick...and all is well!! Thanks for such a great video.

    Gat Parker, In most cases you can reverse the wires on two wire motors that use AC voltage and it will still run properly.

    I am stuck on the step where I'm supposed to push the tab on the pump housing to release the pump housing. It's like it's sitting on a metal ledge. No tab to push. Stuck here without trying it on its back and taking a bunch of other screws out. There's got to be an easier way. Mine is a Kenmore. All steps were the same until this step. Help!

  • @VaraGirl

    Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial video. I was able to do everything, except when I went to put everything back, the door is not latching shut anymore. It is not catching. I had a heckuva time getting the wire connector unlatched from the door, so maybe broke it? Are the sensitive? What could I have done wrong? Do I need to buy a new door latch now? Should I just try to unplug door latch connector again and plug it back in? Any tips would be appreciated.

    • @mpeg12
      @mpeg12 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I found that removing the two screws holding the door latch was easy -- after giving up on pulling the door latch connector.
      You might've broken the connector or its wires. An ohmmeter can be useful to check the connections if you can access the other end of the cable. Or remove it via the screws and examine it closely.

    Is this Video applicable to this LG Model WM3470HWA? I followed all instructions from the video and already remove the front panel but to remove, and snap out the pump assembly from the washer my model is different from what I see in the video, It doesn't have the 2 screws near the drain tube I dont see or feel a holding tab so I can remove the pump I do so a metal frame connected with 3 Flange Bolts screws on the matal frame and I am not sure if I do need to remove it

    It's a lot easier just to tip the washing machine and take the pump out from the bottom. If you don't mind laying on your back for a few minutes while doing the work. Saved me a ton of time versus following these instructions

    Great directions. It took about 20 minutes to repair my machine. Too bad there isn't any videos on how to replace the main pump of a Bosch dishwasher.
