Product review (5 stars): Good quality motor
There's a lot of opinions as to whats wrong w/ your LG washer. Well, I used to do appliance repair, and I did everything short of replacing this pump motor. I kept getting intermittant drain problems. My lines were clear, no obstructions, etc. Finally, I went for the pump motor. When I took out my 10 year old motor, I found evidence of minute leaking that got into the motor armature area, resulting in a lot of black gunk caked inside the motor. This was the root cause. So if your drain pump is ~ 8 to 10 years old, replace this pump/ motor. just use a little silicon grease for the o-ring, and 3 screws and your drain issues are solved. You can easily find how to take apart the washer online. So my fix cost me less than $50 vs. a repair person will get $300 till its all said and done. Once you are experienced at this particular job, it doesn't take more than 30 minutes start to finish.
