After removing the top I found that my LG washer was leaking from the rubber bellows at the top that connects to the detergent dispenser on the front loft corner of the machine. There were two small holes in it that probably came from rubbing against the drum when it vibrated when on over the years. It was an easy fix just had to loosen the two screw clamps and remove the old belows and replace it with a new one (LG part 473ER1004B $42 cdn). The hardest thing to do was moving the washer (which was on an LG stand) out far enough to get at the screws on the back of the lid. I found a solution on a RU-vid vdeo - fold a couple of paper towels up into about 2 inch squares, lift up the machine with crowbar enough to put the towels under the front, and jiggle the machine out - it's much easier with the paper towels under it.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. These videos really help. With them I have replaced the water pump, bottom drain hose, and now the hose from the soap dispenser to the drum. Both of the hoses in this LG front loader, after replacing the hoses, I found that they had a manufacturing defect in the molding of the items. Both of them had a material or mold problem that had depressed area where there was not enough material by where the folds are and just split. It took a while to find this leak on this once since the small leak just happens during the dispensing of the items in the detergent cycles.

Excellent video and thank god for no music! I never thought of bellows leaking. I just took the top off mine and cleaned up the soap dispenser first and second one. I also found one tiny tube leading to the washing drum had popped out of its hole. I connected it back again. This solved my problem. I will keep bellows in mind and check next time. These videos are so helpful, many thanks!!

@Sil3nt1985 Год назад

Saved me with the quick run down and the part link. My upper bellows was rubbing the burr covered drum. Ended up sanding the drum smooth and now I wait for the part. Thank you!

Awesome. I am happy my experience was able to reach you and others. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Thank you very much! You really simplified the process and I had the same problem you found. Thank you for including the part number and I ordered it off Amazon last night, it will arrive Tuesday 12/5. I paid less than $18.

Exactly my problem and very much appreciate the link to the part. Great job!

@jenblevins5316 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Our appliance repair guy is out of town for 2 weeks, so we were extra motivated to figure this out ourselves. Watched several videos, but no others showed this as being the problem. Bingo! Ordering the part.

Thank you for this video. I've had my machine apart so many times following other RU-vid videos I could do it in my sleep. None of them mentioned checking this particular hose, and that is precisely where the leak is. Now I just have to wait for the part to arrive. Again sir, thank you so much

Thanks for your video. Same exact white LG washer. Mine turned out to be one of the top water inlet valves.

@Shae_DFW_TX Месяц назад

Thank you for this video. It really was a big help at getting the top and back off my washing machine. I was very intimidated by all the wires and movement of the drum after removing them. So, much so, I waited for my son to arrive to assist me. Luckily he found the issue rather quickly. Mine was a black tube at the top back left side of the machine. It had worked it's way loose and water was gushing out of it whenever I turned the machine on. It took us several times to figure it out though. Man, I'm so thankful it wasn't an expensive fix.

@JBinFL Год назад

8:15 this is exactly the part that failed on our two year old LG. What I absolutely cannot believe is that I as a layman with no design experience could see what caused the failure. There is a rib that runs around the barrel of the tub that is directly under the lowest part of the rubber hose. And as the tub moves it can touch the hose. And to top it off there is a burr from the molding of the tub on the very top of the rib and there are black flecks of rubber on that burr. The motion of the tub and the crappy design caused the failure. Good news is we caught it early and your video helped us look for the problem and we ordered two to have a backup. Unbelievable.

@Sil3nt1985 Год назад

I had the exact thing happen to me today. I used a razor to knock the burrs off and used a high grain sandpaper to smooth it out. Be careful with cutting, the drum itself is really brittle plastic so it cuts easy.

@gingermany6223 11 месяцев назад

For me it was the outlet hose from the drain pump was just touching a sharp corner and rubbed a hole in it. Had to remove the front panel to get to it.

Still leaking no bellows damage and no other visible leaks inside. Do suspect the connection of filter to output hose but this leak only happens when washing soiled towels. Any ideas?

How do you find the part for your washer?

@JAMESJONES-yc9xs 4 месяца назад

My front load LG has never had a leak. Last night I ran a load. I returned to my laundry room completely flooded. I started a load today and water immediately started flooding from around the filter. I removed the filter, cleaned gasket and tightened it very tight. I restarted the machine and water flooded out again from around the filter. Do you know what is causing this?

@stephenboyer8209 6 месяцев назад

Mines leaking from the front left underneath. Right under where the filter is but the filter and little drain hose arent leaking out the front. Anybody know whats right underneath the front left? Basicslly right behind the filter? Going to pull it apart tomorrow thanks to this very helpful video.

@MrChives 7 месяцев назад

Should I do the same troubleshooting for a washer that leaks. Even if not being used?

@projectfixit 7 месяцев назад

Possibly. If your washer is leaking while not being used, you may want to focus on the hoses and hose connections to your washer from the wall and/or the solenoid valves where the washer connects to the hoses.

Hi, I have the same model. My leaking water from the back rubber hose (the one under the input water supply). Every time it drain the water pouring out from the back under the water supply (the white plastic that connected to the black rubber hose). Any idea what cause it? Thanks

The water pour out on top of the back sheet metal plate, from the white plastic under the hot and cold water supply. (The black rubber hose is still good)

It's possible you may have a water inlet valve leaking. Check out this video which covers this symptom and repair. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iqRzHNDhln0.html
