LG Washing Machine Ring,Snap

The Genuine LG 3W50012U Washer Snap Ring Clamp is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed specifically for LG washing machines and washer-dryer combo units. Constructed from heavy-duty spring wire, this tension clamp secures internal water lines, drain hoses, or tub recirculation tubes tightly against their connecting ports. Replacing a rusted or weakened clamp prevents unwanted internal water leaks and ensures consistent plumbing pressure during wash cycles.

Key Features

• Authentic OEM replacement part ensuring exact clamping diameter and spring rate.

• Manufactured from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant spring steel wire.

• Self-tensioning spring design maintains uniform radial clamping force over time.

• Dual squeeze tabs allow easy installation and removal using standard pliers.

Benefits

• Eliminates internal water leaks at hose connection joints.

• Prevents hoses from slipping off connection ports during high-vibration spin cycles.

• Extends the operational lifespan of internal laundry plumbing assemblies.

Applications

• Used in compatible LG washing machines and washer-dryer combo units to secure internal hoses, drain lines, and bellows fittings.
