LG Dishwasher Leaking or Won't Drain? Pump Casing Assembly AGM30016301 – Fix OE/LE Error Fast
If your LG dishwasher is leaking from the sump area, throwing OE or LE error codes, or failing to drain completely, a cracked or failed pump casing is the most common cause. In most LG-built dishwashers, the pump casing seals the circulation and drain pump assembly — when it cracks or warps, water escapes the sump, pressure drops, and the machine faults mid-cycle. ⚡ Common failure point in LG LDP, LDT, LDTS, LSDTS, and LUDP series dishwashers. Part AGM30016301 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores a watertight seal and full pump performance — direct fit, no modification required.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dishwasher powers on and attempts to run a cycle
- ✔ Water fills correctly — inlet valve and supply confirmed OK
- ✔ Drain hose and filter are clear of blockages
- ✔ Control board shows OE, LE, or FE error — or visible leak from sump area
- ✔ ONLY problem is leaking, poor drainage, or pump-related error codes

🔧 Common Symptoms
- OE error code — drain fault, most common customer search
- LE error code — motor or pump overload fault
- FE error code — overfill caused by pressure loss at casing
- Water leaking from under the dishwasher — sump seal failure
- Dishwasher stops mid-cycle — pump pressure loss triggers safety shutoff
- Poor cleaning performance — reduced circulation pressure from cracked casing
- Excessive noise from pump area — air ingestion through casing crack
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this pump casing assembly restores normal operation immediately.
📦 Part Details

- Replaces: OEM direct-fit pump casing — supersedes AP5676856, PS7789935 (no modification required)
- Material: OEM polymer — engineered for thermal and chemical resistance
- Brands: LG, Kenmore (verify by model number)
While the sump is open, inspect the pump seal and impeller for wear or debris damage — these are the next most common failure points after the casing itself. Replacing a worn seal at the same time eliminates the most likely cause of a repeat leak.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: ADVANCED — 60–90 min DIY / 45–60 min Professional. Disconnect power and water supply before beginning. Lay the dishwasher on its back to access the sump assembly from below; disconnect the wiring harness, drain hose, and circulation hose before unclipping the casing. Ensure all O-rings and seals are fully seated during reassembly — any gap at the casing joint will result in a repeat leak.
💡 Pro Tip
Hard debris — broken glass, bone fragments, or gravel — can crack the pump casing from the inside without any visible external impact. Before installing the new casing, flush the sump thoroughly and inspect the impeller for chips or flat spots. A damaged impeller will crack a new casing within weeks if not replaced at the same time.
