T1024ADF LG Washer - Instructions

I noticed that my washer was leaking water into the tub. It was dripping, very slowly, but it was dripping. I noticed first, because it was starting to smell, and I didn’t understand why. Once I noticed that it was dripping, I checked online and noticed that the solenoid water inlet is most likely the problem. I found the part on parts, select, and confirmed with my model. The pictures were very close and similar, so I was pretty sure I was getting the cracked part. Once I received the part, it was time to fix it. You just have to turn the water supply off, remove the inlet lines with a adjustable wrench, if necessary, and then get to the washer. Make sure you also unplug the washer. There are only two Phillips head screws to remove to get the vanity cover off of the back. For whatever reason my removal was a little bit difficult for this. There are some plastic clips that hold the front portion on of the vanity plate. These were very tight, and I was afraid I would break them, but eventually they came loose with gentle upward pulling. Once this was off, it was super easy to identify the part that needed replacement. There are two hose clamps that you just need a pair of pliers to squeeze in slide off the hose. Then you remove three additional Phillips head screws, and the other connections pop out on their own. The solenoid plugs are very simple to slide off, and it is really difficult to put them on any other way. If you need to, you can take a few photos of the installation. Once you have the old one out, hook up the hoses first, and slide the hose clamps back to their original position. Once you have the two black hoses back on, reposition the new valve body, and slide the additional three prongs into the inlet soap dispenser. Make sure that the fit is snug. Don’t over push, the parts are plastic. Once this is done, reinsert, the three Phillips screws into their holes. Then you can reconnect the solenoids. At this point the replacement is done, and all you have to do is replace the vanity cover. Take time to ensure that you’ve done this correctly. I left the vanity cover off and ran a test load of dirty clothes to make sure that there were no leaks. Once I assure, there were no leaks, I put the vanity cover back on and put the two screws on. This was a very easy fix. Again, just go slow removing the vanity plate so you do not crack or break the tines in the front.

After unplugging the washer I cut the water off. I took the water hoses off, then the back top panel using a phillips head screw driver. I then used a pair of pliers to take off the two hoses and clamps. I unplugged the electric connection on each solenoid, took out 5 screws replaced the part and did everything in reverse order. Problem solved. Thanks for the fast service on my order.

I can’t really say it was easy and I just did it

Unplug washer , shut off water supply, remove water supply line, remove drain line from pipe, Unscrew 4 Philip head screws and gently bend panel enough to lift and remove. Beware of sharp edges. The hoses on the pump are hard to remove so remove the three # 10 MM bolts from the pump base and then squeeze the hose clamps and move them back away from the pump. Use a pair of channel lock pliers and hold the hose while twisting the pump motor this should loosen the hose enough to remove the hose. Do not remove the plug wires on the pump, unplug at the wire harness in the plastic bag on the side of the machine. your new pump should come with a new wire harness already plugged into the pump. Just swap it out with the old one Be careful not to pry the blue connector apart just press down on the little pin in the center of the connector and it just slides out. Note how the wire harness was routed and held in with the supports.
When reinstalling the three bolts do not over tighten. Reattach the hoses and the compression clamps. Reinstall the back panel make sure the instruction label faces out and the vents are on the top. reconnect the drain line to the pipe and reconnect the supply hoses Make sure Hot and old are correct., Plug machine in and run with the towels you used to mop up the water through a wash cycle and check for leaks.

Everthing went to plan except the wet side of the parts removal was difficult. used puller to remove the wash plate and got it to release. But the plastic part of the wash plate released and left the aluminum part still on the coupling. Corrision was the problem, and I had to again use a puller to remove this part of the wash plate. So it wasn't a matter of just lifting the wash plate off by hand. The rest of the replacement was fine.

unplugged machine, turned off water valves. Moved machine away from the wall. Disconnected supply lines. Removed cover housing water valve assembly.
Took a picture with phone. Disconnected water and electrical wires. Removed water valve assembly . Installed new assembly ,cover and reconnected supply lines, plugged power cord in, turned on water supply valves. Done.

Very close to the installation video online at Parts Select. Removed the back panel, unclipped the hose from the inner fitting and replaced with the rear hose. Why it didn;t leak on the inside is interesting as there was no clip on the at the inner fitting.
The one difference from the existing install video online was that I didn't have to tip the washer over ~75 degs before replacing. I instead found that I could put to cinder blocks under the back edge to replace the drain hose. This made the job quicker without having to worry about having a box for it to rest on (with any risk of falling to the floor).

I HAD A CHAT WITH LG EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM . SAID IT WAS THE WATER SHUT OFF VALUE. V EVEN SENT THE PAGE WITH PART# TO ORDER ONLINE.

LOVE LG CHAT!!!

The problem ended up being the pump motor which discharges water from the washer. I figured out this was the problem after trying several things. I determined the motor was fine when it was empty. With the unit turned off, if you can rotate the tube with a quick spin and it lights up, probably this is OK. Then I tried to run it again and it went about 1/2 way through the cycle and stopped and started humming again. So I started emptying out the water, which I noticed was about 5 gallons which is way too much. so once empty, I took the pump off by turning unit on side. There are two hoses with hose clamps, and a few screws. Be careful to mark which wire plugs onto which side of the pump. One is brown and one is black. If you take the pump housing off, with the 3 screws, you should be able to pull the motor apart. Mine had water and scum from the wash in it, which was a dead give away that it was the problem.
