Steve W June 10, 2014 for Model Number MAH2400AWW (Maytag) I bought my machine used, it wouldn't drain, I found quarters in the pump housing. Now, the pump seems weak, slow draining... but I have no basis to compare. I also don't know what the impeller looks like when new, so I can't estimate the wear on the impeller from being run (for who knows how long) with quarters in the pump housing. I also have no way to immobilize the shaft to determine if the impeller is spinning on the shaft. My question is: If I connect the pump through a primed inlet hose to a tub of water, and connect a long outlet hose, and power it up... how much lift should this pump produce? How high will it pump water above the level of the supply tub? (I would like to perform this test before investing $100 on a new pump that I don't yet know that I need)
1 Answer Steve, If the pump is pumping water out at a steady pace at about 3 1/2 foot to 4 ft standpipe then it would be good. You will want to check the rest of the drain system to make sure that the there is no clogging from the tub to the standpipe. Read More...

David January 29, 2012 for Model Number mah2400aw I have found no pump is a very weak pump, I have put screen i rubber cone, and has worked 4 years without failure, and have cut front access hole in front pannel,made pannel cover to, but is there a better fix , very poor design.
1 Answer Hi David. They have updated the part internally as the impeller is better formed on the shaft and not to break and spin freely. It is part # WP34001098. Make sure the tub-to-hose pump is clear and there is a anti-siphon cap on the drain standpipe so the inner diaphram opens as the draining effect happens. Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked creating back pressure and the drain standpipe is not further then the use and care manual suggest. Thank You. Read More...
Joann N. September 01, 2011 for Model Number MAH2400A My washer will not start. It has electricity,but it will not start. Had a repairman come out and he got it to start. After he left I started to use it, water was standing in it and it has not start at all. Code come on nd
1 Answer Hi Joann. The nd code is no drain. Remove the front lower panel. Clean out the drain pump and incoming hose (sump hose) to the pump. Check to see if the pump impeller is stripped on the shaft and not allowing full speed pumping. Is there too much sudsfrom over soaping? This will cause a air-lock (cavitation) in the pump and it will not drain also. Then this will allow the pressure switch to close and tell the washer to start. The pump is part # WP34001098. Thank you. Read More...
Connie August 26, 2011 for Model Number Mah2400aww My washer seems to be working just fine untill it comes to draining, then it spins and makes a load noise but the water just sits there! I took a shop vac to the hose where the water normally drains and it sucked up all the water from inside the washer just fine . Could the pump be the problem? Or could it be something else?
1 Answer Hi Connie. These pumps tend to have issues with the impellor spinning loose on the pump shaft. This pump is part # WP34001098. Thank you. Read More...
Peter July 24, 2011 for Model Number MAH2400AWW Washer dosen't seem to drain, intead it makes a buzzing noise. It quits moving the washing cycle forward. Can I take the drian motor out and give it 110volts for a check? I hate to buy a new one if it is a contact or something else.
1 Answer Hello Peter. Yes, you can connect the pump to 120 VAC and see if it runs. If not, you will need to replace the pump assembly WP34001098. Hope this helps. Read More...
Joe May 30, 2011 for Model Number MAH2400AWW Are the vanes in the pump supposed to be symmetrical? Could coin damage cause uneven wear on vanes, thereby limiting pumping ability? In my machine the vanes are three different heights, is this a deliberate design? Can the vanes be purchased seperately to replace?
1 Answer Hello Joe. Yes. The vanes on the pump should be symmetrical. Otherwise the pump will not function correctly. The vanes are not sold separate from the pump unit. That part is WP34001098. I hope this info helps. Read More...
