How to remove the top on a LG wm3431hs washer/dryer combo

Not enough airflow, and the dryer producing too much heat. Check the vent at the rear, the hose and the flap on the outside wall for lint and obstructions.

Possible that the drain pump is defective. Click this link: Drain pump.

Broken drive belt tho your model number is not for a dryer.

When I check your model number, the lifter comes up as part # MFE38265101
Changing one,...... oh, you really got to want to. On a difficulty scale of 1 - 10 for repairs on this washer / dryer combo, I would rate it about a 10. Basically, you have to remove the motor, remove the entire outer drum, seperate the halves of the outer drum allowing removal of the inner drum, and eventually removal of the lifter from the back side of the inner drum. If you can do the job in under two hours I think you would set a world record.

Hi

If the washer is not draining then it is due to a clogged drain pump or a drain filter or a kinked drain hose. To resolve the issue you'll need to clean the drain hose, inspect if the drain hose is plugged. If the hose is fine, then remove the front kick panel and access the drain pump and filter, if you are unable to find the pump and filter remove the back panel as well and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the tub. There is a drain filter connected with the drain pump. It usually gets clogged, and needs to be cleaned every 6-8 months or so. The drain filter is a small white filter connected to drain pump with a hose. If it still doesn't work then you'll need to check the connections of the drain pump, check the electrical connections with a multimeter. If it still doesn't work then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...

mine is doing the same, did you figure this out?

hello. I can help you. Typically this problem is related to a partially clogged dryer vent pipe. pull the dryer out from the wall and remove the vent pipe. check every thing and remove any lint or other blockage in the rear of the dryer and in the vent. Dont forget to go outdoors and check the place where the pipe dumps the dryer air outdoors as it may be clogged there also.

After removing the three screws which pass through the L bracket into the back of the dryer:
Stand in front of the dryer and (using the palms of your hands) give the top a sharp push back on the dryer top at the left and right side of the top. The top should slide back 1 to 2 inches. Now lift the top off.

If you post again with further questions, make sure to post under the model number you have. (you posted using a combo washer / dryer, and stated you are converting to LP, which combo units are not gas.)
