Review on LG Electronics 3485ED1002B Dishwasher Assembly by Jon Lesperance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money - Check out

We have an LG dishwasher. As many know, LG dishwashers are beautiful, mostly very quiet and also expensive. The most common complaints after a part failure is poor drying of dishes and noise when washing. Poor drying is often associated with a defective pan heater. You will notice this if, after washing, the dishes are not very warm, and an unpleasant smell appears in the washing machine. I previously replaced the heating element and that fixed the dry/odor issue and cost about $50. We've had a few noises lately which I've traced back to the main circulating pump. Still works well, but it's no longer the quiet machine we loved. So I saw this complete pump assembly for $98 and jumped at it because it includes a bunch of parts that cost a lot more than they would individually. I will replace my entire assembly and then take some key parts (e.g. another heater) as spares. Excellent purchase! UPDATE: Full pan assembly installed and working great. The washing machine is now running QUIET. Very easy to install but had to do some tinkering with the pan seal. It is very important to be careful with the pan gasket. The plastic tabs on the pallet can easily break if the gasket is installed incorrectly. I think I saved about $200 by making it myself. And I have an old crankcase with all its parts and a replacement heater. Great offer.
