Anyone ever change the drain pump on the washing machine?
Looks like I'll be doing this in a few days when the part shows up. Washer stopped draining, flashed the OE error. Repair places want 300 for the job when it's a 45 dollar part so **** it I'll do it myself.

Good luck and have fun ! Damn appliances,are refrigerator quit a couple days ago repairman said it would be 600.00 for new compressor. Decided to buy a new one rather than spend that much on a ten yr old fridge, like to have had a heart attack when I learned the price of new one

I had an LG front loader for 15 years and replaced the pump several times. It's tough to squeeze in, but just a couple of connections once you have it in place.

You will learn the wrath of the spring clamp. Buy a pair of these and thank me later.

Did one on our LG last year. Took maybe 30 minutes.

Quit wasting so much money on LG washers.
I thought everyone on CP made 6 figures? Buy Speed Queen. On a more serious note, they aren't that bad to change on most I've encountered. It's usually more of a pain in the ass to get the shell back on and aligned... |

if it's a standard top loading Maytag/Kenmore, etc. They are pretty simple. The hardest part is making sure you don't cut yourself on the sharp metal around the motor. Oh wait, that was the coupler. Pump is easy on a top loader, the hardest part is getting the cover lined up when you are putting it back together. A couple of spring clamps hold it onto the motor.
