In this review the DP040-012 4681EA1007A drain pump is evaluated as a direct replacement option for a range of LG, Kenmore and GE top-load washers. The bottom line: this pump is aimed at homeowners and repair technicians who need a straightforward, cost-effective fix for drainage failures; its single biggest selling point is fit-for-purpose compatibility with many OEM part numbers so it often installs quickly and restores normal drainage without replacing the entire washer. For anyone with draining issues who can confirm model compatibility, this is a practical, no-frills replacement.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Fits many LG models such as WT1101CW, WT1201CW and similar machines, reducing time spent sourcing the correct part.
• Cross-reference part coverage: Replaces numerous OEM numbers like 5859EA1004P, WH23X10020 and others, which simplifies ordering for mixed-brand households.
• Symptom resolution: Intended to fix common issues like water not draining, slow draining, unusual pump noises and related error codes that stop wash cycles.
• Simple installation: The pump body is the core replacement component and typically installs at the base of the washer in minutes for those comfortable with basic appliance repair.
• Warranty and support: Comes with a 1-year warranty and seller support promising a timely response within 12 hours for post-sale questions or returns.

Who It's For

This pump is best for DIY homeowners, maintenance staff, and appliance technicians who need an affordable replacement pump for compatible LG, Kenmore or GE washers and who can identify the DP040-012 or equivalent OEM numbers. It suits users who want to repair a single component rather than replace the whole washer, and those who prefer to keep repair costs low while restoring full drainage function.

It is less appropriate for customers who cannot confirm model or part compatibility, those who are uncomfortable working near electrical components and water, or shoppers expecting a full assembly including bracket and wiring harness, since this listing is for the pump body only.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good compatibility across many LG, Kenmore and GE washer models, reducing fitment guesswork.
• Customers report easy installation and a fit that matches the original pump closely.
• Cost-effective solution compared with replacing the entire washer when only the pump is faulty.

Cons

• Sold as pump body only; bracket and wiring harness are not included, which may require reuse of existing parts or additional purchases.
• Not a universal cure for drainage faults - other issues like clogs or electrical faults can produce similar symptoms.
