So, I bought a Kenmore elite ventless washer dryer combo about 4 years ago. 3 years into ownership, the sump pump goes out. We found a Lego trapped in the impeller housing, learned our lesson about checking pockets, and bought one of these as a replacement. The washer worked for about a year afterwards. Again, sump pump fail. Could not find an obvious reason to the failure, but the replacement pump impeller was free spinning on its motor axle. At this point my wife and I had divorced, so she called a repairman. 400$ later for a <50$ part, the washer works again for another 6 months. By the time she realized there was no point in replacing the pump anymore, she runs a auxiliary hose to drain out via gravity to the back door. She offered me the machine after saving up for brand new units and I figure, let's try replacing the pump again. I've washed 5 light loads, it hasn't even been a month since install, and it has failed again. Impeller is free spinning and my washer won't drain. First of all, I'm an aircraft mechanic, so fixing things and betting people's lives on it is how I make a living. I have the kenmore elite repairman manual, and at this point, I can take the machine apart step by step one handed and blindfolded.It's gotta be the part quality. There's no excuse to make a part so cheap as to be affordable but break more than once a year. I'd honestly pay more for a more durable part. But this is the only OEM replacement I can find.Edit: I have found a reliable part from the LG store. It's amazing how identical they can all look, yet some offer warranties for up to a year

I have an LG Tromm Steamwasher and the drain pump went out. You can tell it's the drain pump when you hear clicking during the drain cycle and no water is draining out the drain. I purchased this pump motor as a replacement and it fit and works perfectly. I put it in last week so I can't say anything for longevity. After talking to a repair man who was fixing my dish washer, he said these drain pumps only last a max of 2-3 years any more. He said the new low-voltage versions in newer machines last even less time. I figured out how to replace it on you-tube. It wasn't too difficult. It took me about an hour. I am confident I can do it again if this one goes how.

I'm writing down this review because I'm so happy with this purchase🥰.I was looking for a Nictemaw drain pump for my washer machine and I couldn't find it, I contacted the company who sells Nictemaw machines, and they told me they didn't sell any of this parts, so, I was thinking to buy a new machine, but on my search I found this pump, and I decided to take the risk because didn't say anything about compatible with this brand. So, I got it today, I just put it on, and I HAVE NEW WASHER MACHINE AGAIN.And because I thought someone else could have the same issue like me, I decided to do this review HOPING HELPS TO SOMEONE.Questions? Just ask.🥰🥰GOD BLESS EVERYONE and MARRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.😘😘

I bought this months ago when my washer broke for a second time with the same error but I paid a guy 375 to replace this same part last time so this time I was determined to do to myself. I finally did and I followed a guy's youtube directions which were fabulous, and it works like a charm. I need to buy a few more because my 2012 LG washer works better than the newer models. I'm convinced no new major appliance will last more than 2 years. Planned obsolescence went into overdrive with every single company after COVID. My vacuums cleaners are every 6 months now. Can openers last about 4 months. It should be illegal for companies to do this. But this part will rust and will go out again but 25 bucks is way better than 375!

It took about 1.5 hours to do. Mainly because my washer and dryer are stacked in a tight space. I thought about cutting a 8x8in access panel on the side where the pump is for future repair if needed. That would have sped things up to probably 15 to 20 minutes to do the pump swap.LG likes to make things difficult.So instead of taking to dryer off the top. I removed the 2 plastic brackets on the back of the washer, slid both units up about 3in and then slid the top of the washer back 3in with the dryer on top. This gave me access to the screws and clips that hold on the control panel. Popped that off and used masking tape, taping it to the dryer, to hold it up out of the way.If you have space and slide the dryer and top of washer back 6 to 8in, you can just rest the control panel on the top but I have limited space.Took out drain panel and screws and put to side. I recommend getting a spring spredder tool for the metal bladder clamp that holds that in place. It comes off fairly easy but i had to clean the rust on the spring then a flat head screwdriver to pop it off. That allowed me to pop the bladder from the front and push it into the drum. Next I just removed the 2 screws that hold the door latch. So much easier than trying to reach in and disconnecting the clip plug. It just falls away from the front panel. Then took off front panel and access pump on bottom left. Disconnected hose clamps and hoses, popped the tab and slid out pump. Make sure you put it on a rag because is going to be wet and dirty. Took out screws and swapped out pump. This pump comes with a spare washer. Don't use it (there's already one on it) or you won't be able to put the pump housing back together tightly with the new pump. Make sure pump has a tilt to it and you don't put it back together so it's level with the housing or it won't clip back in. My OCD wants everyone straight so this was challenging to my brain. Reconnect hoses and clamps. DoneNow putting it back together is easy just reverse what you did. Well, until you get to the bladder clamp ring with the rusty spring. This is where the spring spredder would help a lot. I didn't get one because maybe I use it once I figure, but for the cost of this replacement and the spredder it's worth it. The LG certified pump will cost about $40 on Amazon. That would have been about the same as the knock off pump $25 and the spredder $15. I had to watch this older guy do it with a flat head screwdriver and needle nose pliers. Once the bladder is back on the front rim of the panel, take the ring starting from top at about 2 o'clock and work counter clockwise til you get to the spring. Use the pliers on the right side of spring pulling down to about 5 o'clock while using your other hand and screwdriver to pop it into place. There is a learning curve and it took me about 15 minutes because the bladder wants to keep popping off the rim. So far so good. This was my second repair on this washer. First was the hot water valve on inside the back at top of washer. Also an easy fix but when that went 2 years ago and that I had to un stack my washer/dryer and had water dripped down into my kitchen. GET A WATER BASIN for under the washer. That will save on sheet rock and painting repairs. I think I should start stripping appliances that people put out for garbage. Could save a tone of money.Spent $110 on a control board for my Samsung refrigerator to fix the thermostat. An under 5 minutes repair. Open back panel that covered the 3 control boards and replaced the only one without a working led. A neighbor threw out a compatible unit 2 months prior. Hindsight.Good luck
