Wash Heater; Foreign Object Removal - LG WM3001HRA Training Manual

TRAINING MANUAL
DRAIN PUMP, continued
The drain pump and the circulating pump are attached to either side of the filter housing.
The drain pump is used to exhaust the water from the washer. The recirculating pump
serves three purposes: it sprays water from the tub onto the laundry, creating a better
saturation of detergent and better rinsing, it keeps the window clean, and it allows the
customer to see water in the tub. The filter between the pumps is not a lint filter in the
traditional since. It serves to trap larger objects (keys, coins, buttons, etc.) that may find
their way into the washer and protects the pumps from physical damage.

FOREIGN OBJECT REMOVAL

WM3001H*A
Remove the front cover.
Disconnect the two electrical connections
to the heater leads. Disconnect the
thermistor (white plastic connector.)
Remove the outer nut and ground wire on
the heating element.
Loosen it as far as possible but do not
remove the second nut on the ground lug.
This will release the tension on the gasket
and allow the heater to be pulled out of
the tub.
When replacing the heater, be sure the
element slides into the retaining clip on the
bottom of the tub.
See testing the heater, page 60.
Remove the front cover.
Remove the heater element, as described
above.
You can then use a wire to fish out any
foreign objects that have come between
the drum and the tub.
Replace the heater, as described above.
