How to replace the drain pump in an LG front load washer stacked laundry unit
The need for this repair could be something obvious like the washer isn't draining (though other things can cause that, too, like a plugged drain hose) or something less obvious like an OE error code.
First step is to come git you a new drain pump with a 365-day return policy ratcheer ==> http://www.repaircli...EA2001D/1266821

Open door
Remove door gasket outer CLAMP and peel back GASKET into stainless steel tub
Remove lower left pump clean-out strainer COVER.
Remove a single phillips screw---and pull out the plastic HOUSING that is part of the pump clean-out strainer
Looking at the pump clean-out strainer (at floor level) you'll see 2 phillips screws above the strainer handle---remove both screws
Cut a section of 2x4 wood---approximately 5 to 6 inches length
Place the 2x4 wood block between the TUB and the FRONT COVER of the washer---this will give you additional space to access the DRAIN MOTOR---by keeping tub assy pushed rearward.
Reach down to the PUMP ASSY---using your finger---find the RELEASE TAB and depress it. This allows sliding the entire
PUMP ASSY to slide away and be turned by hand.
There are 3 screws which secure the DRAIN MOTOR to the pump housing---remove them and pull off the drain motor.
Re-install & test washer.
NOTE: One or two of the DRAIN MOTOR screws can be accessed from the *hole* where the STRAINER was located.
TIP: Wear PVC-coated work gloves
