LG Washer Repair – MINERVA, OH (WM2487HRM)

This LG washer in Minerva, OH wouldn’t drain water and was making a low rumbling noise like the motor was going bad, then flashing error code PF. When we opened it up, we found the drum support was broken — a major structural failure that made repair uneconomical.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer will not drain water and makes a low rumbling noise like the motor is going bad and then it will flash code error PF. These symptoms together pointed to a serious mechanical issue affecting the drum assembly.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed the drum support was broken. This critical component holds the wash basket in proper alignment during operation. When it fails, the drum can shift and create the rumbling noise while preventing proper drainage and triggering error codes.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None — repair declined
• Work performed: Diagnosis and cost estimate
• Result: Due to the cost of repair, customer is replacing the unit

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this older LG front-load washer, a broken drum support represents a major repair requiring significant disassembly. When the repair cost approaches or exceeds the value of a comparable replacement unit, replacement becomes the smart financial choice. The customer made the right call here.
