Mark R for Model Number 436440 Nexxt drain pump I ordered a new 436440 Nexxt drain pump and the new one came with a manual drain hose and instructions stating the following: “Replacing 436440 Nexxt drain pump - Due to a vendor change, Nexxt drain pump 436440 is provided differently then before. The original housing is not available, replaced by newer housing with the manual drain hose port open instead of plugged (see drawing below for port location). To avoid leaking, current replacement 436440 drain pumps come assembled with the manual drain hose (with hose clamp and plug) – meaning replacement 436440 drain pumps must be installed with the hose. Since production washers didn’t include the hose, it needs to be stowed near the pump when the pump is installed. [picture of pump] Note: To avoid leaking, do not remove the hose, hose clamp or plug from the pump.” My questions: How do I stow it? Is there a plug assembly that should have come with it? Why will water not just drain out when “stowed”?
Answer Mark, The hose as a plug in it which would not allow it to drain. Where the front of the pump goes into the panel there should be a hole next to the large opening that the hose would go through. If there is not this opening then you will just lay the hose somewhere in the bottom so that it does not vibrate and wear a hole in it. Read More...
