XPARTCO DC31-00187A Washer Drain Pump Motor The XPARTCO DC31-00187A is an aftermarket replacement washer drain pump motor compatible with select Samsung front-load and top-load washers in the WA4, WA5, WF2, WF3, WF4, and WF5 series, as well as select Kenmore washers built on the Samsung platform. The drain pump motor drives the impeller that expels water from the washer tub during the drain phase of each wash cycle. When the motor fails, the washer will not drain, will leave standing water in the tub, stop mid-cycle, or display error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, or SUDS. This motor-only assembly includes the pump motor, impeller, and replacement O-ring. Rated 120V, 60Hz, 80W, 1.1A (CL.F), with a 30-minute on / 30-minute off duty cycle. Dimensions: 4-1/4"L x 3"W x 4-1/4"H in gray/white/black plastic, metal, and rubber housing. The DC31-00187A is the motor component that installs into the existing pump housing on compatible Samsung washers — the pump housing (DC97-20621C assembly) is reused from the old pump, making this a motor-only swap rather than a complete pump replacement. It directly replaces DC31-00187D, DC31-00178A, DC31-00178D, PX3516-01, 03DC3100187A, 4958525, AP6977256, EAP9605762, PD00056512, PS9605762, and PS1274262.

Wear work gloves — there are sharp edges inside the washer cabinet. For front-load models: remove the lower front access panel to expose the pump housing and filter. Drain residual water via the filter drain hose (have a shallow pan ready). Disconnect the wire harness from the motor. On most Samsung front-load models, the motor assembly twists out of the pump housing by rotating counter-clockwise — do not force it. Remove the old motor, note the O-ring position, and install the new O-ring from this kit onto the new DC31-00187A motor. Insert the new motor into the housing and twist clockwise to lock. Reconnect the wire harness. Reinstall the lower panel, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage. For top-load models: access through the lower front panel or by tilting the washer on its side depending on model. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, shallow pan, towels, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC97-20621C? The DC31-00187A is the drain pump motor — the electrical component that drives the impeller. The DC97-20621C is the complete drain pump assembly, which includes the motor plus the outer pump housing, hose connection ports, and mounting hardware. When you order the DC31-00187A, you replace only the motor and reuse the existing DC97-20621C pump housing. When you order the DC97-20621C, you replace the entire assembly including the housing. Both resolve the same drain fault — the DC31-00187A is the more targeted repair when the housing is in good condition. What error codes indicate a drain pump motor failure? Error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, and SUDS on compatible Samsung washers all indicate a drain fault — the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Before replacing the motor, clean the drain filter/coin trap at the lower front panel. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of these error codes and does not require motor replacement. If the filter is clear and the codes persist, or if the pump is making loud noise or is completely silent during the drain phase, the motor needs replacement. What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC31-00178A? These are cross-references for the same or very similar Samsung drain pump motor used across different Samsung washer generations. The DC31-00178A was used on earlier Samsung models and the DC31-00187A is the current version. Both are commonly listed as interchangeable replacements for each other in Samsung washer drain pump repair. The DC31-00187D and DC31-00178D are also variants of the same motor from different production runs. Should I clean the filter before replacing the pump motor? Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. On Samsung front-load washers, the filter is accessible behind the lower front kick panel, typically on the right side — remove the cap slowly and drain water into a shallow pan first. Lint, coins, debris, and hair are very common causes of Samsung drain error codes that are completely resolved by cleaning the filter without any parts replacement. If the filter is clear and the error codes persist, the pump motor is the next component to replace. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original DC31-00187A drain pump motor.

Place towels and a shallow pan at the front of the washer to catch residual water. Open the small access panel at the lower front of the washer and drain any remaining water through the drain hose or filter port. Remove the front panel of the washer by unscrewing the top panel screws, then removing the door gasket retaining wire and door latch screws to free the front panel. With the front panel removed, the drain pump assembly is now visible at the lower front. Use a flat-head screwdriver to release the pump mounting clip, then disconnect the drain hoses using pliers to loosen the clamps. Disconnect the wire harness from the pump motor. Pull the motor assembly out of the pump housing. Install the new 4681EA2001T motor into the existing housing, reconnect the hoses and wire harness, secure the pump clip, and reassemble the front panel. Restore power and water supply, then run a drain/spin cycle to verify proper drainage. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, slip-joint pliers, shallow pan. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between 4681EA2001T and 4681EA2001N? These are the same drain pump motor — 4681EA2001T is the updated current part number that replaced the older 4681EA2001N. LG issued the updated number during a production cycle revision. If your washer or its documentation shows 4681EA2001N, 4681EA2001D, or any other older variant, the 4681EA2001T is the correct replacement to order. What does the OE error code mean on an LG washer? OE (or OE error) stands for "Outlet Error" — it means the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Common causes include a clogged drain filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump motor. Before replacing the motor, check and clean the drain filter and inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. If both are clear and the washer still shows OE, the pump motor has likely failed and needs replacement. Does this include the pump housing? No — the 4681EA2001T is the motor assembly only. It installs into your washer's existing pump housing, which is not included and does not need to be replaced in most cases. If your pump housing is cracked or damaged, you will need to source it separately. In most repairs, the housing is reused and only the motor assembly is replaced. Should I check the drain filter before replacing the pump motor? Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. LG front-load washers have a coin trap and filter at the lower front that should be cleaned regularly. A heavily clogged filter or a foreign object jammed in the impeller can cause OE errors and loud humming without the pump motor being permanently damaged. Remove the filter, clear debris from the impeller area, and test the washer. If the problem persists after cleaning, the motor is the likely culprit. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from durable metal and ABS plastic to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original 4681EA2001T drain pump motor assembly.

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises. This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

This is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog. If your old motor shows a part number not listed here, contact our support team with your dryer model number and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drive motor is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers — electric and gas models across many generations (WED, WGD, LER, LGR, LEQ, LGQ series and many more) Maytag dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (MED, MGD, MEDC, MEDX series) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Jenn-Air dryers (select models) Amana dryers — select models (NED, NGD series) Magic Chef dryers (select models) Admiral dryers (select models) Norge dryers (select models) Roper dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series) Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering. Key Features Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit and performance Dryer drive motor — powers the drum (via belt and pulley) and the blower wheel simultaneously Dual-shaft design: drive shaft 1-3/4" and blower shaft 1-3/4" Pre-attached pulley (pulley is not available separately — included with the motor) Resolves "won't start," "won't tumble," "stops mid-cycle," "humming/buzzing," "grinding," and "burning smell" symptoms when caused by motor failure Includes motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions One of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform — replaces 60+ legacy part numbers Key cross-references: W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, AP3094245, PS334304, EAP334304 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers Designed for heavy daily use with minimal noise DIY repair — installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 279827 Part Type Dryer Drive Motor with Pulley Condition Genuine OEM Application Dryers — Electric & Gas (Whirlpool platform) Drive Shaft Length 1-3/4" Blower Shaft Length 1-3/4" Pulley Pre-attached (not sold separately) Function Powers drum rotation (via belt/pulley) and blower wheel Kit Includes Motor assembly, 2x 1/8" insulated female terminals, instructions Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem? Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out. Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn? A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse. Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor? The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement. Does this motor come with the pulley? Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included. Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor? It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

WP389140 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Block The WP389140 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drive block for large-capacity belt-drive and direct-drive top-load washers. This is a purely mechanical coupling component: it connects the inner spin basket to the transmission's drive shaft, so that when the transmission turns, the basket turns with it. Without a properly seated drive block, the connection between the motor's rotational power and the basket is lost or unreliable, even though every electrical component in the washer may be working perfectly. Measuring approximately 2-5/16" high, this drive block is a wear component subject to gradual mechanical stress every time the washer agitates or spins. A worn or failed drive block produces a distinctive set of symptoms: the basket may spin freely without properly engaging, the washer may spin slowly and leave clothes excessively wet, or you may hear a loud knocking or banging noise during operation as the connection between the basket and drive shaft becomes loose or worn. It directly replaces 389140, AP6008836, 357782, 97360, J27-936, PS11741977, PS349903, AP2905773, WH40X180, WP389140VP, LP16171, and 2858. Quick Answer The WP389140 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Block fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, and Inglis top-load washers with a basket that spins freely without engaging, slow spinning that leaves clothes excessively wet, or loud knocking/banging noise during operation. Approximately 2-5/16" high. For large-capacity belt-drive and direct-drive washers. Replaces 389140, AP6008836, 357782, 97360, J27-936, PS11741977, PS349903, AP2905773, WH40X180, WP389140VP, LP16171, 2858. This repair typically requires a spanner wrench to remove a large securing nut — budget for the right tool before starting. Common Problems This Part Fixes Washer basket spins freely without properly engaging during the wash or spin cycle Washer spins slowly, leaving clothes excessively wet at the end of a cycle Loud knocking or banging noise during operation Washer shakes or moves noticeably during spin Basket continues spinning after the cycle should have stopped Inefficient wash and spin cycles overall due to poor basket engagement Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This washer drive block directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WP389140, 389140, 357782, 97360, PD00002363, EAP11741977, WP389140VP, AP6008836, AWP47839, J27-936, PS11741977. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drive block is compatible with select Whirlpool large-capacity top-load washers (belt-drive and direct-drive), and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, and Inglis washers built on the Whirlpool platform, including model numbers such as: NTW4516FW, NTW4516FW3, NTW4516FW4 WTW4816FW2, WTW4816FW3 RTW4516FW, NTW4605EW, WTW4800BQ Note: Always verify your full model number before ordering, since Whirlpool uses different drive block designs across its washer lineup. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine Whirlpool OEM part — factory-specified fit for a secure basket-to-transmission connection Connects the inner spin basket to the transmission's drive shaft Resolves "basket spins freely," "slow spin, clothes too wet," and "loud knocking noise" symptoms caused by drive block wear Approximately 2-5/16" high Designed for large-capacity belt-drive and direct-drive washer platforms Direct drop-in replacement matching the original fit onto the spin tube notches Replaces 389140, AP6008836, 357782, 97360, J27-936, PS11741977, PS349903, AP2905773, WH40X180, WP389140VP, LP16171, and 2858 Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, and Inglis washers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Product Specifications Part Number WP389140 Part Type Washer Drive Block Condition Genuine OEM Brand Whirlpool Application Large-Capacity Belt-Drive and Direct-Drive Top-Load Washers Height Approx. 2-5/16 in. Function Connects the inner spin basket to the transmission drive shaft Related Component Drive cam (commonly inspected/replaced during the same repair) Repair Difficulty Moderate — spanner wrench and washer disassembly required Quantity 1 drive block Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Spanner Wrench Required Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the washer's top and control console per your model's service instructions to access the inner tub assembly. Remove the agitator and any hardware securing the basket, which typically includes a large center nut — a spanner wrench is required to remove this nut, along with a socket and long extension for other fasteners; expect to remove a fair number of components to fully access the drive block. Lift the wash basket out to expose the drive block, which sits on the spin tube near the center of the transmission. Photograph the orientation of the old drive block and any surrounding hardware before removing it. Lift the old drive block free, and while it's accessible, inspect the drive cam nearby for wear as well, since it's commonly replaced at the same time. Slide the new WP389140 drive block into position, making sure it seats fully onto the spin tube notches, and reassemble the basket, hardware, agitator, console, and top panel in reverse order. Restore water and power, then run a test cycle through both wash and spin to confirm the basket engages properly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, spanner wrench, socket set with long extension, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My washer basket spins freely and doesn't seem connected to anything. Is this the drive block? Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed drive block. Since this component is the mechanical link between the transmission's drive shaft and the inner spin basket, once it wears out or fails, the basket can spin independently without properly engaging, even though the motor and transmission are working normally. Do I really need a spanner wrench for this repair? Yes, on most models. Accessing the drive block requires removing a large nut that secures the basket assembly, and this nut is specifically designed to be removed with a spanner wrench rather than a standard socket. Trying to remove it without the correct tool risks damaging the nut or the surrounding components, so it's worth having one on hand before you start. Should I replace the drive cam at the same time? It's worth inspecting while you have the assembly open, since the drive cam sits in the same area and is commonly replaced alongside the drive block when a technician is already this far into the repair. If it shows visible wear, replacing both at once saves you from repeating this same teardown again soon after. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original dimensions and fit of the drive block originally installed in your washer.

4681EA2001T (OE) Washer Drain Pump Motor The 4681EA2001T is an OE (Original Equipment) drain pump motor for LG and select Kenmore Elite front-load and top-load washers. At the end of each wash and rinse cycle, this pump is what forces water out of the tub and through the drain hose, clearing the way for the next fill and letting clothes come out free of excess water so the drying process can move faster. An internal impeller does the actual pumping work as the motor spins it. Rated 120–127V, 60Hz, 85W, 1.4A, with a flow rate of approximately 45L/min. This part is the motor and pump assembly only — it's designed to reuse your original pump housing rather than replace it, and it includes the pump impeller as part of the assembly. The design was updated in April 2025 to use a gray pump motor housing in place of the earlier black housing; either version installs and functions the same way. A failing drain pump typically shows up as the washer not draining, unusual or excessive noise during the drain portion of the cycle, an error code indicating a drain pump fault, or water leaking from the pump area and potentially damaging the surrounding floor. It directly replaces 1468049, 2003273, 4681EA1007D, 4681EA1007G, 4681EA2001D, 4681EA2001N, 4681EA2001U, AP4437652, AP5328388, DP040-038, EAP3523278, EAP3579318, LP2001T, and 5214FR4006L. Quick Answer The 4681EA2001T (OE) Washer Drain Pump Motor fixes LG and select Kenmore Elite front-load and top-load washers that won't drain, make unusual or loud noise during the drain cycle, show a drain-related error code, or leak water near the pump. 120–127V, 60Hz, 85W, 1.4A, 45L/min. Reuses your original pump housing; includes the impeller.

Before replacing, clear any clogs in the drain path and check the pump filter and coin trap — these are common causes of "won't drain" symptoms that don't require a new motor. Common Problems This Part Fixes Washer not draining at the end of the cycle Unusual or excessive noise during the drain portion of the cycle Drain-related error code (such as OE) displayed on the control panel Water leaking from around the pump, potentially damaging the surrounding floor Washer failing or stalling mid-cycle due to a drain fault Longer-than-normal drain times Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Once you've confirmed the motor needs replacing, disconnect power at the outlet and shut off the water supply. Lay towels or rags down in front of the washer. Wear work gloves. On front-load models, remove the detergent drawer, then remove the retaining wire and spring around the door gasket using a spring expansion tool or vise grips, and pull the gasket out of its groove at the front of the washer to access the pump area. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire connector from the old motor, remove the mounting screws or clips securing it to the pump housing, and separate the motor from the housing — this part is designed to reuse your original housing, so keep it intact for the new motor. Attach the new 4681EA2001T motor and impeller to your original housing, reconnect the wire connector, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the door gasket into its groove, then reinstall the retaining wire and spring, and reattach the detergent drawer. Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the washer drains normally with no leaks or unusual noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, locking pliers, needle-nose pliers, small flathead screwdriver, spring expansion tool (front-load models), towels, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Does this include a new pump housing, or just the motor? Just the motor and impeller — this part is designed to reuse your original pump housing rather than replace it. When you remove the old motor, keep the housing intact and attach the new motor to it. If your housing itself is cracked or damaged, that's a separate part. My washer isn't draining. Do I need to replace the motor, or could it be something simpler? Check for a simpler cause first. Clear any clogs in the drain path, and inspect the pump filter and coin trap if your model has one — foreign objects and debris commonly cause a washer to stop draining without the motor itself having failed. If the drain path and filter are clear and the washer still won't drain, or the motor makes unusual noise or won't run, replacement is the correct next step. The new pump I received has a gray housing but my old one was black. Is that correct? Yes. LG updated the design in April 2025 to use a gray motor housing in place of the earlier black housing. Both versions install the same way and function identically — the color change doesn't affect fit or performance. Is this a genuine OEM part? This is an OE (Original Equipment) part. OE (Original Equipment) parts are produced to the same design and performance standards as the original factory part, but they are not sold under the appliance brand's OEM label. They provide the same fit and function as the OEM part at a more affordable price.
