We completed a washer repair on Stream Ave NE in Canton, OH for a customer whose LG washer wasn’t draining and would fault out at the spin cycle. Our diagnosis revealed a failed drain pump that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer not draining and faulting out at spin cycle. The unit would complete the wash portion but wouldn’t advance properly through the final stages.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed the drain pump had failed completely. Without a functioning pump, the washer couldn’t remove water from the tub, causing it to fault out when attempting the spin cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 4681EA2001T — drain pump
- Work performed: Replaced pump
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG washers are generally well-built machines, and the WM4270HVA is a solid front-load model. A drain pump replacement on a machine of this caliber typically provides several more years of reliable service, making it a worthwhile repair for most households.
Maintenance Tips for LG Washers
- Clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent debris buildup that can damage the pump
- Run LG’s Tub Clean cycle regularly with LG-approved cleaner to maintain optimal performance
- Leave the door and detergent dispenser open after use to prevent moisture buildup and odors
