LG washing machine not draining? Signs of a failing drain pump

The drain pump sits low at the front of the machine, behind the filter cap, and pushes waste water out through the drain hose. Its small impeller spins at speed, so anything that slips past the filter, such as coins, hair ties or bra wires, can jam it or chip the vanes. A failing pump may hum without moving water, run noisily, drain slowly, or stop the machine with a drain error. If the filter is clear and the pump is silent or only buzzes, a replacement pump is the next step.

Swapping the drain pump

Pull the plug at the wall and shut both taps. Open the filter cap with a tray and towels ready, as a blocked machine can release a lot of water. The pump is reached by removing the lower kickplate, or the front panel on some models. Photograph the wiring and hose layout, move across any filter housing parts if needed, and confirm the new pump matches the old one's mounting and outlet before fitting.
