Jeff December 04, 2013 I have a 2 year old whirlpool washer. Not sure what model but it does not have an aggetator. When the unit is cycling back and forth with water in the tub it make a loud squeecking noise. Almost like a bearing or something. The water drains it just make that noise. Any ideas.

Jeff November 11, 2013 I have a Kenmore Calypso washer and the pump splines are stripped and the water will not pump out. I looked up the model # but the pump shown doesn't look like mine. The one I have looks like an older direct drive pump just smaller. What should do to find the right part?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Use the pump it offers for you model number. Most likely design change done on it. Read More...
Sarah August 27, 2013 for Model Number 8541816 There is a rubberbank in the pump and wont let the pump rotate. We cant get the rubberband out, is there anyway to dissemble the pump so we dont have to buy a new one? I would hate to pay $100+ just because of a rubberband. Model number is 8541816
1 Answer Hello Sarah. You can try removing the bottom to remove the rubber band, but if it leaks, you will need to replace the pump 285990. It is worth a try though on removing it. Read More...
Lealon November 19, 2012 I have a 2006 Whirlpool Calypso Washing Machine that won't drain. I have a guy come out and clear a clog, but I guess the clog also stripped the ring gear inside the drain pump. My home warranty insurance decided to cash out my claim, but it seems simple enough to replace on my own, after having watched how the guy opened up the washer (I helped him). My questions: 1) could I just replace the stripped ring gear or should I replace the whole drain pump? 2) if I replace the drain pump are there any special tools needed or other replacement parts needed to fix it? 3) for this model, is there a way to test whether I installed it correctly? 4) any other recommendations for this kind of DIY job? Thanks so much !!
1 Answer Hello Lealon. Based on the information you provided, you just need to order and replace the pump and motor assembly on the unit. There is no special tools needed, and it is best to lean the washer back, use a block to support it and remove the pump from the bottom of the unit with the power and water disconnected. Read More...
Tony October 16, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 110.22062101 My washer stopped draining water. I have located the pump and drained all the water from the unit. I would like to know if this is a water pump failure. Buying the pump which is 115 + shipping . It could be an expensive error if this is not the solution. There is no errors reported in the front panel. Thanks for your time to answer my question
1 Answer Hello Tony. Test for power to the pump. If there is power there, and the pump does not drain, replace the pump 285990. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello RK. You do not need to remove the panel, you replace the pump 285990 through the bottom of the unit, not the top. Lean the washer back and look from under the bottom and you will see the pump. Read More...
Rk October 03, 2012 for Model Number gvw9959kt2 What can I do with a ld error code? Looked at drain pipe and it is not clogged, but the tub is filled with water. Please advise.
1 Answer Hello RK. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you need to order and replace the drain pump and motor assembly 285990 on the unit. Read More...
Angie July 15, 2012 for Model Number GVW9959KL2 When I run a cycle (quick cycle for example) the machine runs for about 10 minutes then it starts leaking water from the bottom and the it stops with either an ob or an ld code. Does this mean the drain pump needs to be replaced? There is no water coming out of he hose.
1 Answer Angie, You're on track. A clogged or defective drain pump, could create the "OB" or "LD" error codes, and will need to be checked for articles stuck in the tub to pump hose 8054944 and 8054988 the pump itselft could be clogged as well. If all's OK, replace the drain pump 285990. Thanks Read More...
Russ May 31, 2012 for Model Number GVW9959KQ2 Notice about 3 cups of water below machine on floor. Removed bottom panel. Inspected pump. Area around the seal of the pump drive shaft was damp/wet. I see that the "pump replacement" is now a "pump/motor assembly replacement". Any advice /comments you could provide? Can you advise degree of difficulty to replace the entire assembly?
1 Answer Hello Russ. The pump and motor assembly 285990 is not to hard to replace. Just lean the washer backwards and remove the bolts, hoses and wires going to the old pump and install the new pump and motor assembly. Read More...
Chris March 05, 2012 for Model Number sears washer 110.22066102 The washer continues to come with an OB code. This code appears even when I run it through the cycle empty. I am asssuming it is the pump but would like to confirm this is possible when I know it is not out of balance and before ordering the repair pump.
1 Answer Hello Chris. If the unit is draining properly, then the pump should be fine. If it is spinning before the water drains out, you will need to replace the pump 285990. You will want to check the shock and suspension rods and make sure they are good, and the unit is not getting off balance. Hope this helps. Read More...
