LG Washer Repair (Model WT4801CW) – Canton, OH

We recently serviced an LG top-load washer in Canton that was leaking from underneath despite running normally. The customer had just installed new supply hoses but noticed water pooling beneath the machine during wash cycles.

The Problem

The homeowner reported water leaking from underneath their LG washer model WT4801CW. The leak persisted even after they had recently replaced the supply hoses, making them concerned about potential damage to their laundry room floor.

Diagnosis

During our inspection, we found that while the new supply hoses were properly installed, there was an older corroded hose connection that had been overlooked. The corrosion had weakened the hose material, creating a slow leak that became more noticeable after the water pressure improved with the new supply lines.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None — existing hose was serviceable after modification
• Work performed: Shortened the corroded section of hose and reattached with secure connection
• Result: Leak stopped, but recommended ongoing monitoring to ensure the repair holds

Is It Worth Repairing?

The WT4801CW is a solid mid-range LG top-loader that typically provides reliable service for many years. Since this was a minor hose issue rather than a major component failure, the repair was definitely worthwhile. These washers are built to last, and addressing small problems early prevents costlier issues down the line.

Maintenance Tips for LG Top-Load Washers

• Check all hose connections quarterly, especially after any plumbing work — LG washers rely on consistent water pressure
• Clean the lint filter and inspect the agitator periodically — the WT4801CW has accessible maintenance points
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly using LG’s recommended procedure to prevent buildup in the wash basket
