LG Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (WM2455HW)

A customer in North Canton called about their LG washer flooding water all over the floor. When we arrived at the home on 7th Street Northeast, we found the washer drum had broken in the front and was leaking extensively onto the floor.

The Problem

The customer reported that water floods from the washer all over the floor during operation. This wasn’t a minor leak—it was creating a mess that made the washer completely unusable.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed that the washer drum had broken in the front, causing the major leak onto the floor. Additionally, the pump was not pumping out all the way, which compounded the flooding issue. The drum failure was significant structural damage that affected the washer’s ability to contain water during cycles.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Assessment and cost evaluation
• Result: Customer opted for new washer due to repair cost

Is It Worth Repairing?

When an LG front-load washer suffers drum failure, the repair costs typically exceed the value of fixing the unit. A broken drum requires extensive disassembly and expensive parts, often making replacement the more economical choice for older models like this WM2455HW.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the door seal and gasket regularly to prevent mold and maintain proper sealing
• Use HE (High Efficiency) detergent only—regular detergent can cause excessive suds and strain components
• Run the tub clean cycle monthly with LG-recommended cleaning tablets
