How to Remove a Drain Pump From an LG Washing Machine

LG manufactures many types of consumer products, from cellular telephones to washing machines. LG washing machines have a drain pump that removes the water from the wash tub after a cycle is completed. While repairing your washing machine, it is sometimes necessary to remove the drain pump to gain access to other components. To remove the drain pump, you must remove the front panel of the washing machine. Before removing the front panel, be sure to disconnect the washer's power supply to avoid electrocution.
