The Drain Pump is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is responsible for expelling water from the washing machine at the end of the wash and rinse cycles. Its motor and impeller system push water through the drain hose, helping to ensure that the washing machine empties completely.
Symptoms of a failing drain pump include:
- Water not draining out of the washing machine, leading to stagnant water pooled inside the tub
- Unusual noises, such as buzzing or humming, indicating that the pump motor is struggling
- The washing machine stopping mid-cycle due to inability to drain
Causes of drain pump failure typically include obstruction by foreign objects like coins or socks, motor burnout, or impeller damage. Regular maintenance, such as checking for debris in the pump's filter, can help prevent these issues.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
