GlennWest Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have a 3 year old lg front loader. It now washes, pumps water out and then makes a grinding sort of sound with no spin. Tub spins freely with hand. Any of you have a suggestion other than replacing it. Rather new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSeas Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Check the drive motor, drive belt, tension regulator, all should be accessible by removing front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat & Pete Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sounds like a stripped gear . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennWest Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wife mislead me. Water pump bad. It won't pump any water at all. She told me it discharged water. Sorry for the misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredin1993 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I would not assume it is the water pump, it could be the control board. I have a Whirlpool and it would not work, reading post and watching U tube I found out the motor brushes could be dirty. Took them out and cleaned and all is good for now. All thought the brush on one side was way shorter than the other. Only thing that will fix this is replace the motor that cost way more than a complete new machine.

GlennWest Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Power is going to it. Makes a louder noise that it should. Just not pumping. Might need to find ohm specs and check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
