LG washer repair Lake view
A call came from the customer, the LG washing machine stopped during the cycle, the time before the end of the cycle always remains more than 7 minutes.
Washing machine LG model WM3670HWA.
The technician arrived to the customer in 35 minutes, diagnostics showed a malfunction of the drain pump, part number DC31-00178A. The work was complicated by the fact that the unit was stacked. In order to replace the pump, you need to disassemble the washing machine, first of all, you need to remove the top cover, which interfered with the dryer standing on the cover.
Despite the difficulties, an experienced technician from the Let's Fix company dealt with this problem. He pumped out the water, disassembled the washing machine and replaced the faulty pump with an available one with a five-year warranty.
With the new drain pump, the washing machine works quieter than before.

Why washers in Lake View break the way they do
Lake View is dense 1920s courtyard buildings, three-flats and vintage walk-ups, with condo conversions on nearly every block. A single pair in a courtyard-building basement can serve six to twelve households, so machines here log a commercial number of cycles in a residential warranty window. Door boots, supply hoses and pump seals give out first, and a slow leak under a shared machine is usually discovered by the neighbour below.
Every job above is a real visit from our dispatch log; house numbers are rounded to the block and unit numbers left out. If your washer is doing something that is not on this list, call or text +1 (773) 243-4565 — we are on this route most weeks.
