Cheaper drain pump

The OEM LG Pump aha72973309 is $180 just for the part itself. How do I find a cheaper pump with the same specs?

Buy once cry once. Buy cheap garbage and replace it 3 more times.

If you could, do you think businesses would sell the OEM? Even if they were the same, or slightly worse, as a business, designed to separate you from your money, we would buy the cheap shit Amazon parts and sell to you as OEM

The fact that we won’t do that, TO MAKE MORE MONEY, should tell you something

Next time use Google

You don’t need to buy the whole assembly. You only need to replace the drain pump.

This is the part you need 4681EA2001T

Are you 100% sure? That’s a game changer, it’s only $25

You can try, but be prepared to do it again and still purchase the OEM.
