Easy install
November 25, 2021

Very easy up front access on older He3. Watched You Tube installs on LG's which were far more complicated. I did not need the plastic filter and hose coupler so just unscrewed pump from the coupler and connected the new pump. Maybe 10 minutes total. Part was hard to find but an online chat directly with Sears was easy and they immediately identified the correct part so no guessing.

Perfect Replacement
November 24, 2021

We've had drain errors intermittently until I figured the pump was faltering. This was a perfect replacement pump. The removal/install took less than 1/2 hour...remember to have a wet vac handy to catch the water when removing the old pump.

It was easy to install, however you would have to make sure the clamp is fully seated, not loose or else the pressure of the water is going to force the hose to break loose.
