1 Answer

Hello Dawn. If the pump is not clogged, and there is power to it, but it does not drain, you will need to order and replace the pump on the unit.

Nita for Model Number WBVH6240

I have replaced water pump in my GE frontloader washer Model #WBVH6240 twice already and now attempting to replace once again for the third time. I noticed that the first pump replacement part I purchased had a part # WH23X10028 and second pump had a part # WWH23X10026. This is my question(s): 1. Is there any difference in these two pumps and if so, what is it? 2. Does it matter which one of the two I use? Due to the fact that second pump (WWH23X10026) went out after only 1 year after installing, makes me wonder if this might have been caused by the fact that it might not have been the correct part. Another thing is the big difference in price between the two pumps. First one, pump (WH23X10028) was $125.00 and second pump one WWH23X10026) cost $30.00. Thank you.

Nita, The correct pump for your unit is part number WH23X10028 and if the wrong pump was installed this could potentially cause the pump to fail prematurely.

Raquel, If the pump is getting power to it but will not pump water out and there are no clogs then you would want to replace the pump assembly.

Hello, These have the impellers that you can feel the magnetic field from the permanent magnets inside them. This causes the impeller to rotate hard for about half a turn and then "pop" on around.

Hello Heidi. Pull out the unit and remove the back access cover. Then, remove the hoses and wires going to the pump. Remove the bolts securing the old pump and remove the pump. Install the new pump WH23X10028 in reverse order.

Hi Kat. Did you also remove the sump hose going to the pump that connects to the tub ? This is where the debris collect as well. You remove the pump filter from the front and clean as well. Check to see if the pump impeller is spinning loose on the shaft ? If so then replace the pump part # WH23X10028. Make sure there are no debris in the pressure switch hose going to the tub. Remove the top. Remove the hose from the switch and blow back into it towards the tub. If you have removed restrictions, then set the unit in a small wash. Fill and then advance it to spin. Has the door latch part # WH10X10006 locked ? If not it needs replaced. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Thank You.

Hi Matt. The new replacement part is an upgraded motor controller. It may have certain different characteristics but is the part for your model # if needed. We will need your exact model # to assist with the correct part #'s. Thank You.

Hi Mike. Yes, first thing you need to do is get the pump free or if it will not as you mention, then replace it with part # WH23X10028. Then you use a pitcher and fill it up with cold water. Then open the washer and fill it up to the baffle level (w/cold water). Then press cancel or drain. Do this a few times to insure you have flushed out the "over soaping" condition which made the pump cavitate and overheat, damaging the pump and showing the fault codes mentioned. E-23= water valve, pressure switch or off balance. E-30 = drain pump issues. E-31= Slow drain , possible restrictions. Thank You.
