My LG WM3455HW washer/dryer combo stopped draining the water from washes. I thought this was going to be a several hundred dollar repair bill. I’m glad I purchased this and decided to repair it myself. The entire process took about an hour or so. It’s pretty straightforward if you have instructions for your model washer. Mine was slightly more complicated than the normal LG washers due to having an extra bottom panel. If I had to do it all over again I can probably knock it all in 30 minutes. The only tools required are screwdrivers and a big pair of pliers. The only thing I would recommend is that when you do tackle this repair, MAKE SURE THE WASHER IS FULLY DRAINED!!!! Trying to fix this with water leaking out every you move a part was really annoying, especially if the water has been sitting there for a while and spells putrid! The issue, my washer/dryer stopped draining and would make a whining noise. When I was able to finally take out the old pump, I discovered that the pump motor was fine but it was just the pump propeller that snapped off so that the motor was spinning but it wasn’t connected to anything to push the water. It’s too bad since most other reviews for this part show the same problem. A more sturdy propeller pin would have significantly improved the longevity of this part. The part itself came in an LG box so it was a genuine part. Since pulling this apart was time consuming, I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a cheap third party part. The new motor worked immediately and the sound seems slightly different and quieter.

I originally purchased this pump in July 2022, and it lasted about 3.5 years. I’m purchasing the same one again now. Based on reviews I’ve read (including on RepairClinic), these pumps typically last around 3 years, so this one performed right in line with expectations—at about half the price of RepairClinic.

3/4/2024: It's too early to know if this pump was worth the extra $20 over other brands. Time will tell. If it has any problems, I'll update this. But for now, nothing to complain about. It takes 7-10 years to know if it is a good pump. If it doesn't last at least 7 years, then I would say it's not a good pump. If it lasts 10-12 years, I would say it's a great pump. It comes in a genuine LG box for about $45, which I assume it is exactly what LG puts in their machines. I had no problems installing it. It's hard to think of anyways it could have been easier or harder to install. It definitely sounds just like a new machine again! I figured since I am saving a bunch of $ by doing the lob myself for the 1st time on any machine, it might be worth the extra $20 to guarantee it fits and sounds like I expect it to sound. However, maybe I should have tried a highly rated 3rd party pump since it is probably the #1 problem most people have to fix on LG machines. The previous one lasted about 6 years, which isn't very long. However, I have a high-end washer/dryer combo machine (Model# WM3997HWA) that eats up drain pumps when using the dry cycle a lot. The original pump already sounded suspect when I bought it after being used a lot to dry after 2 years. The original pump lasted another 4 years with almost NO use of the dryer function. I do not plan to use the dryer function more than about 1/mo in the future because I have a good dryer. If you're doing the job yourself, use the "top-down" approach and DON'T try to do it using the access hole in the bottom of the machine like many "pros" are showing on Youtube these days. You can’t see what you are doing and there are bolts, screws, several water tubes, and wires you can’t see or access from underneath. The “top down” approach looks like it is much harder, but it is actually faster than you would think, and faster than doing it from the bottom unless you do it all the time. And you don’t need another person to help move this extremely heavy machine using the top-down method. I did the entire job myself and was able to do almost all of it with tools from Dollar Tree using the top-down approach. If you want to save yourself a WORLD OF PAIN, spend $14 on Amazon to get a pair of “spring expanders” for an LG front loader (see pics). The spring that holds the rubber drum boot to the front of the machine is extremely difficult to get off and almost impossible to get back on without spring expanders. With them, what would take 10 minutes and lots of frustration just to get off, takes about 30 seconds with spring expanders. And it only takes about 60 seconds, instead of hours, to get it back on with spring expanders. If you get those, you can replace the pump in a day. Also, don't forget there is a good probability you will have to get that rubber boot off and on more than once if it turns out you have a leak, the power isn't working properly, or many other reasons you can't think of. Since it is by far the hardest part of the job without spring expanders, you want to make it the easiest part for $14.
