A simple way to check the drain pump motor in LG washing machines
Applies to most other brands of front-loaders, too:
<<<You mention the drain motor may run too slow, how can I troubleshoot that part?>>>
**********************
A simple test---would be to start a cycle and wait until water stops entering/filling the washer (about 1 minute)
Turn off the washer
Turn on the washer
Select SPIN SPEED to "No Spin" and press the START/PAUSE button
Observe the water draining from the Drain Hose.
The flow-rate should be solid (but not overly agressive either).
When DRAIN MOTORS begin to fail---the flow rate of water draining appears somewhat anemic.
This is *usually* in addition to the Drain Motor becoming noisier than it was previously.
If needed---the DRAIN MOTOR part number is...
DRAIN MOTOR : 4681EA2001D
<<<there was about 1 cup of water still left in the tub>>>
******************************
If this water is seen in the *stainless steel tub* and not in the Pump Housing when the *strainer* is removed---replace the DRAIN MOTOR (some water must remain in the housing and is normal).
