LG Washer Repair – Canton, OH (WM2487HRM)

We responded to a call in Canton, OH for an LG washer that possibly had a drain pump that was clogged or bad. After diagnosing the unit, we found the drain pump was noisy and not pumping water out like it should.

The Problem

The customer reported that their LG washer possibly had a drain pump that was clogged or bad. The washer was having drainage issues that prevented normal operation.

Diagnosis

When we examined the washer, we confirmed the drain pump was noisy and not pumping water out like it should. The bearings and boot looked good, so the issue was isolated to the drain pump assembly.

• Parts replaced: 4681EA2001T — Motor Assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the drain pump

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG washers are generally well-built appliances, and this WM2487HRM model represents solid value in the mid-range category. A drain pump replacement on a unit of this age and quality is typically a worthwhile repair, especially when other components like the bearings and boot are in good condition.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Run LG’s TubClean cycle monthly with LG-approved cleaners to prevent buildup that can stress the drain pump
• Check and clean the drain pump filter regularly — LG models typically have an accessible filter at the front bottom
• Use HE detergent only and measure properly to avoid excessive suds that can overwork drainage components
