LG Front Load Washing Machine Leak Fixed 

Finally a video that doesn't just say to check the drain tube and filter or the gasket for debris. Those things are important too, but this was the video that went a bit deeper into the inner workings of the drainage system -- and turned out to be our problem. Thank you! Fixed

This was exactly what I needed to do! The spring on my Kenmore was VERY stiff and kept popping off. I used adjustable six-inch clamps to hold the ring in two places (similar to installing band saw tires) and was able to get the ring on! Thank You!!!

Thanks for this video! Had to wait for my boyfriend to come over and help me muscle the metal ring back on but otherwise got this fixed when I couldn't get a damn service provider to call me back in July in Norway after a week of a leaking washing machine.

This turned out to be my fix. I had originally thought it was the latch. Then due to videos maybe the hinge for some reason. Glad I found this before I bought hinge. It worked. Thank you!!

I’m grateful for this! Solved my problem exactly. Took me 15 minutes to do everything and THEN…that metal ring. Spent about an hour trying to get back on. Finally, found tool on Amazon one of the other posters mentioned. $25 with next day delivery. Lifesaver!

Thanks for this video. At first suspected the filler valve on mine. Took the top and back panels off the machine and found it clean and as dry as as bone. Then found this video. Followed your instructions, but couldn’t get the little hose off without really forcing. Gave up and ran cue tips and a wire through the hole, the flushed with a squeeze bottle of hot water and diluted bleach. Seems to have worked. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this video. We've had the washer on its side and upside down, trying to figure out where the leak was coming from, to no avail.

Wanna say thank you for this video. I did exactly what was shown on the video and sure enough I had a bunch of gunk in the hose which smelled really bad but now its clean as a whistle, Thanks again !!

Thanks for the help. My leak was from the clogged hose and a small tear in the boot next to the hose. Had to install a new boot but problem is solved. Thank you sir

It was very helpful for me . I had same issue. There were lots of water under washer and near area. But after cleaning pipe. There is no leaking. Thanks man.

Thanks for the video, got me started. Our LG looks just like yours but the drain set up is totally different. Mine had 3 weep holes at the bottom where yours had the tube. My weep holes were plugged giving the leak at the front door. Your video put me on the right path to fix it. Using a small J hook allowed the spring to go back on in 3 minutes so again. Thanks for the assist.

Just cancelled my appliance repair appointment. Thanks for this video. My entire valve was clogged.

Thank you sir! Followed your instructions and completes the repair in one hour!

Thanks, you saved me from needing to replace my 13 year old LG Washing machine

Thank you so much! You just saved my marriage lol We watched your U tube video and fixed our problem! Thank you

Thanks for posting this! Really glad I watched this video before taking my whole machine apart.

pretty gnarly. Ours was way gross, but this did the trick. Our machine is 16 years old, other than the occasional wipe of the gasket, this was the first time I really went to town cleaning it... bleh. Lots of chunks coming out, it seemed like it just kept coming. As far as the metal ring went, I have a little pick set from Harbor Freight and one of them has a hook end. Getting the ring seated like you show and then hooking the end up the spring with the hooked style pick worked pretty well - went together on the second attempt. Two test runs so far and no leaks!

Perfect. Just finished and it was completely clogged. Thanks for making this video.

Thank you for posting. That was exactly what I needed to do. Mine was completely plugged. Works perfectly now.

Thank you so much. Saved me hours of troubleshooting for my parents

Thanks for posting and sharing. Same issue that I had for my LG. Big Help!

Appreciate you sharing this. Very easy to follow along and will be invaluable info for the future.

You put that wire on like a pro my guy. The trouble I've had with that gasket wire!

Thank you so much!!! Got it done in about 20 minutes.

thank you! I have water building up in the gasket so I'll be using this process soon. I have a Maytag washer so I'm going to check for differences first. I'm sure it is similar.

You my friend, are a life saver! Was a pain in the as*&^% to get all the clamps off and back on but I kept at it until I got it all back together.

Thank you Bill, For instructional video. Thank you for your time.😊

Thanks for the video ,you have explained well step-by-step

Worked perfect. No more leak. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you that was my issue, i was closed to calling a hanfy man to check my out. You saved me 1-2:hundred

Thanks legend! Fixed in less than 10 minutes

This was exactly our problem! Thank you for the guide! :) ours was leaking out of the bottom at the very front because the front gasket was not connected to the drum drainage

Great help. Thanks so much

Great video! Getting that spring back on was… *insert explicative here*

This was incredibly helpful, solved my issue. Thank you so much!

Awesome explanation. Thanks you so much for sharing.

I owe you a beer!

thank you! Just saved us some money. appreciated

That freakin' spring....my wife had to hang on to one end for dear life while I slowly worried the loop around with a couple of screwdrivers to lever it into place. Never touching that spring again.

Fixed my leak!!! Thanks!@

Everything like in the video - lot's of debris removed. BUT, I can not put back the second clamp (connecting the top). Will call my friend to help...

Great Video. Much appreciated

I have that same washing machine. Is there a way to put the load to spin only, instead of rinse+spin?

Great Video Thank you for those instructions

Thank you! Thanks to you I removed and replaced the seal spring and used your good idea of a tool with a hook on it. Do you know if there is filter at the end of the white bit if plastic tube? I poked it with a metal tube it seemed super blocked. Fingers 🤞 Thank you

Nailed it! Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this. Exactly what I needed to see.

Great Video! Thanks

thanks for this great video!

very helpful, thanks

Worked for me. Thanks!

Thank you for this!!!

Thanks for the video! I was given this machine and that little hose was packed full of crud!! But it is still leaking. Do you have any other ideas of what could be going on? Or, like, how to know if the pump is faulty without switching I out?

I also appreciate you sharing this too! Very helpfull ;) Where that water drain is going to? To a pump? Thanks!

Great tutorial!

Totally helped. Thanks!

Would like to give it a try tomorrow

Thank you so much very grateful

Very helpful

Ok. So this is not ruled out completely as the cause of my leak. HOWEVER...I am getting water leaking through the little hole where the cleanout door latch goes when shut. It leaks worse when cold water is filling vs. warm or hot. I can actually feel it spraying when its filling if I stick my finger up inside tvat hole when its filling with cold water. Its not leaking around the door to the drum. This is the door where the drain hose and lint filter are. We opened the back and its all dry inside. Any ideas? My washer is an LG SIGNATURE WM9500HKA. It is 4½ years old.

Thanks for sharing this video. What kind of plier did you use to reinstall/clamp the drain hose?

Need help I’m trying to get that wire in and it keeps come out like I can’t get it to stick in there

Thank you bro 😊

Thanks helped so much

That spring is REALLY strong. He doesn't make it look that strong, but I can't seem to make it budge. I fear that if I do take it off, I won't be able to put it back on. That's probably why he needs that tool to help pull. There is no way you can just use a pointy driver with no hook to help make the slack.

My leak is not coming from the front door. It’s coming from the bottom left where you have to drain the water.

Well done thanks 👍

Hi, good video. My LG front load is leaking from the door, but is draining fine. Got any suggestions, before I begin this procedure?

The metal piece with the spring is impossible to get back around

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Tank q....my frand 🎉🎉🎉 bast

هل التسريب فى هذه الحاله بيكون على الارض ولا من باب الغساله ؟ وايه الحل اذا التسريب من الامام ولكن مش من الباب ؟

I can’t get the gasket wire back in place I’ve been struggling for the past 3hrs 😢😢😢😢 I’m beyond frustrated. Any tips on getting it back in place?

I have this same washer and it works but makes a rubbing sound, do you know what might be making that sound?

Where would it be leaking? If this was clogged? Mine is leaking from the bottom. It seems.

Hi, what the name of the part you took off to clean? I need to replace mine. Thank you

What if it’s leaking from the back at the top?

Washing machine door inside tub gaskat from water leaking

how much cussing was edited out while putting second clamp back on?

There's no hose on mine. It just runs back into the tub

Just dropped the pliers into the washing machine while trying to remove the little 90° hose…😑

I have questions for him

What model no is it?

Can anyone come and check mine washing machine and do this for me I rely on my mum to help me and she has just passed away my washing machine is leaking from the front of the seal this could help me a lot isn’t of paying $100 of dollars

It is not clear at all how that spring band ring is removed and replaced properly. I am not even going to attempt this procedure as that is the most important part of this process.

I’m just a girl

I did this. But I CANNOT get the metal wire back on. I’ve fought it for two hours. I don’t have a hook tool but I do have two screw drivers, I just can’t seem to make it work. Any advice ?

Worked for me!! Thanks!!!
