Our diagnosis confirmed their suspicion — the drain pump had indeed failed.

The Problem

The customer reported: “I *think* it’s the drain pump. It was making a noise during the draining that didn’t sound like it was actually draining. I pulled the little tube and filter thing out and it filled 2 buckets of water, which it’s never ever done that.”

Is It Worth Repairing?

The LG WM8100HVA is a high-capacity front-load washer that’s built to last. Drain pump failures are common wear items on front-load washers, and replacing it typically extends the machine’s life significantly. For a quality LG unit like this, the repair is usually worthwhile compared to replacement cost.

Maintenance Tips for LG Washers

• Clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent debris buildup that can cause pump failure
• Leave the door and detergent drawer open after use to prevent mold and odor in LG front-loaders
• Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to reduce strain on the drain system
