OEM Washer Pump 4681EA2001T

For starters, I own an LG washer model WM3670HWA that I bought back in January 2017. Over time, we noticed that draining the washer during our weekly maintenance (sometimes bi-weekly or monthly, not going to lie!) was taking longer and longer, as the washer was retaining more water than it originally did when brand new. We kind of noticed but didn't pay too much attention, as it was still operating normally. Then the pump failed about three years after our purchase. You'll have a pretty good idea it's the pump if you hear a fast clicking sound instead of a humming sound before the spin cycle starts, and the washer displays the OE error code moments later. Check to make sure your drain hose isn't kinked and that the filter next to the drain hose isn't severely clogged. If neither is the issue, then it's likely a bad pump. **Note: You can continue to operate the washer without the pump by manually draining it from the front hose outlet after seeing the error code, and restarting the spin cycle only (turn power off/on, and press SPIN SPEED). Just know that this is a tedious process that drains A LOT of water. The picture shows the label on the failed, original OEM part I pulled out of the washer. While the label on this replacement part bought off Amazon wasn't an exact match, it had the same dimensions and overall appearance. Fit perfectly and resolved the issue. There are some good YouTube videos out there for all you DIYers, but depending on your model, it can be a little time-consuming the first time. Took me about two hours, even after watching a couple decent step-by-step videos, because getting the rubber gasket/boot back on the door was a little difficult to line up. Everything else was pretty easy. For a $25 repair, it was totally worth it. A local company wanted to charge $180. Hope this helps! Good luck! --UPDATE 10/29/2020-- After more than 7 months, still working great and no issues! If and when it fails, I'll be sure to post another update, seeing that some negative reviews mention it failing after only a few months. It's worth noting too that the pics of this pump show different labels, so it could be that the seller is changing periodically (right now it's Link EZ). Either that or the seller is changing its parts supplier from time to time. --UPDATE 12/5/2023-- Well, the replacement pump finally died this week. Lasted 3 years 8 months, which is a little longer than the original pump that came with the washer. Not sure what it is with this LG washer model, but apparently the pump design is prone to failure every 3-4 years. There were slightly cheaper options on Amazon where I could have saved $5-7, but of course I bought this same pump again! If anything unexpected happens this time around, I'll be sure to post an update.

I have a Kenmore front load and this fit and works perfectly (most made by LG). Taking the machine apart and reassembling is difficult if you do not also have/buy the spring pliers; Moker Washing Machine Spring Expansion pliers. Well worth the $11 for the hours saved trying to put the door gasket back on.

Used to replace the pump for a Kenmore Elite model number 79641072311, which failed after 7 years of heavy use. Kenmore added a steel mounting plate with three rubber pillar-type feet for noise and vibration isolation, a plastic shroud over the pump and a host of other modifications to the basic LG design. These made replacement more tedious, but not really more difficult. If you're not used to working on these appliances, take a lot of photos as you go and watch YouTube videos to help understand this job. The new pump made the washer much quieter and more efficient than it has been for quite some time. Noticed the various wash cycles completed more quickly again. The old pump had a lot of end play in the impeller shaft and started leaking oil after it was removed, so it was shot. Also bought the 383EER4001A Washer Inner/Outer Tub Spring Expansion Tool by Beaquicy to remove the washer boot retaining spring. It saved a lot of time and made the spring removal and reinstallation very easy. A good product at a good price. Update 02-08-2026 We have noticed that the moldy odor we had been getting before the pump was replaced is now gone. The washer was kept very clean, but the odor would creep back in. We always leave the door open a few inches, but it made no difference. The pump was apparently contributing to this problem and replacing it eliminated the odor.

This fit perfectly and fixed our problem. Wasn’t very difficult to replace.

Everything worked great. I'm just a little hesitant to leave 5 stars because I'm not sure about the long-term reliability of this unit. The shipment from Amazon arrived 1 day late. But that is not the fault of the manufacturer. I did choose this item specifically because of the faster shipping time though. I included a photo of the old drain pump. This unit was indeed a perfect match to replace it.

Listen... this was easier than I thought to replace. The only complaint I have/had was I wish it would come with the option for a tool like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVF7FM5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Also on my washer the video didn't say it but you need a 10mm socket which kinda sucks to get in there and manuever but it's not on the pump supplier. I'm just glad I can finally get it to drain correctly.. now only if I could get this LG washer to balance properly.. Fixed the OE issue and now I'm getting UE... Might be time to kick it to the curb and get a new washer.. But that again is not the pumps fault it works PERFECT. Thank you!

Washer would not spin anymore. Pump needed replaced, this part was just what I needed for my LG front loader. I put my machine through a lot, have several heavy blankets, wash one at a time. And with dogs need to be washed frequently. If and when goes out again would buy this pump again. It wasn’t the cheapest but well worth the cost. Be sure to buy the tool to remove wire spring also. And make sure you get the tool that opens the widest, they all look the same in pictures, but the are not. Overall, pump working great, no leaking and is holding up to heavy use.

Mi lavadora de más de 15 años LG (WD-12586BD) presentó el error OE y por ese motivo me decidí a comprar esta bomba después de ver un vídeo de como instalara, al final un técnico hizo el trabajo y se tardó menos de 10 minutos en cambiarla. La manera más fácil de hacerlo es inclinando la lavadora hacia la pared y cambiarla por abajo. Espero que dure muchos años funcionando.

Perfect Fit for our LG front load washer. Easy removal and install. watch YouTube video's where you replace the pump from the bottom instead of taking the front all apart. Works great, and so much cheaper than the OEM Replacement.

This pump is compatible with over 500 LG washer models and 50+ Kenmore models, making it an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable replacement. The installation was straightforward, and I was able to get my washer running smoothly again in no time. The pump performs exceptionally well, efficiently draining water from the washer during each cycle. I’ve noticed that the water drains faster and more consistently than before, which has made laundry day so much easier. The high-quality construction of this drain water pump ensures long-lasting durability. It fits perfectly into my washer, and I’m confident it will keep my washer working perfectly for years to come. Overall, I highly recommend this drain water pump to anyone needing a reliable replacement for their LG or Kenmore washer. It’s efficient, easy to install, and has significantly improved the performance of my washer!
