The Washer Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is vital for draining water from the washer drum during the wash and rinse cycles. The pump forces water out of the drum and through the drain hose, ensuring that clothes are cleaned and rinsed effectively.
Symptoms of a failing Washer Drain Pump Assembly include:
- Water not draining from the washer, leaving clothes wet
- Unusual noises during the drain cycle, such as humming or grinding
- Error codes on the washer's display indicating drainage issues
- Water leaks from the pump area or from the washer
- The washer stopping mid-cycle due to drainage problems
Causes of a bad drain pump assembly can include obstructions from debris, wear and tear on the pump motor over time, electrical issues such as short circuits, or damage from improper installation or usage.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
Note: This pump has been redesigned and the mounting plate is no longer required. It now mounts directly to the base of the washer.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
The pump on my washing machine went bad William P. • El Paso , TX • April 26, 2014
It was a relatively easy fix. Removed the small access panel at the back of the washing machine after unplugging the unit. The pump is right there. Disconnected the two hoses to the pump, catching some water with towels. Removed three retaining screws, then realized I had not disconnected the belt from under the unit. Easy fix, tilted the unit and disconnected the belt. Put in the new pump , connected the hoses, then reconnected the belts. Works like new!
