Parts required

It sounds like you’re looking at the twin-outlet drain pump housing and have misplaced one side of the assembly rather than a second separate “main” pump. On many LG washers of this type there is one drain pump motor, with the housing arranged to handle the main drain path and a small auxiliary connection.

Before doing anything else, isolate the washing machine from the mains.

1. Check the pump housing layout carefully From the front, the right-hand side is often the actual pump motor. The left-hand side may be the filter/pump body section or a blanking/guide part depending on the exact version. If you’ve “lost the left-hand side”, compare the pump body against exploded parts diagrams for your exact model number, including any suffixes.

2. Look for the missing small black hose connection The smaller hose is commonly the emergency drain/filter housing hose or a pressure/recirculation-related hose, depending on design. It should connect to a small spigot on the pump/filter housing or nearby sump assembly. Check for an unused small nozzle on: - the pump/filter body - the bottom of the tub/sump hose area - the front filter housing

3. Use the full model number to identify parts Search using the complete LG model and serial/product code on UK spares sites such as eSpares, BuySpares, or Partmaster. Exploded diagrams are often more useful than LG phone support.

4. Don’t guess and run it If any hose or pump section is missing, it will likely leak badly when draining.

If you can post a clear photo of the pump area, it should be possible to say exactly what is missing. For any internal wiring checks or fitting parts around live components, use a qualified appliance engineer.
