The Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. Located within the bottom of the tub housing, this assembly pumps water out through the drain hose during drain cycles. Efficient water removal relies on a functioning drain pump.

Causes of a drain pump failing can include clogs or mineral deposits obstructing the impeller over numerous washes. The electric motor inside may also degrade from extensive usage cycles.

Symptoms of a bad drain pump assembly include:

  • Retained water remaining in the bottom of the washer tub
  • Slow or incomplete draining at the end of cycles
  • Gurgling or grinding noises from underneath the tub area
  • Error codes related to overflow or drainage issues

This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore front-loading washer models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Drain Pump Assembly (Part Number: OEM18022332)

Michael J for Model Number MAH5500BWW

My neighbor gave me her Maytag Neptune set. She said when it Spins it very noisy. After I installed the washer I ran a cycle through to hear the noise on Spin- It sounds like a jet-turbo- the clothes were dry, but when I turn the tub there's water in there that slouches around. I figured I needed a new Drain Pump Assembly- #AP4035317. I just installed it and have the same noise & water left. Any suggestions. If it's an electric question- How do I test it? Thanks for your help- MJ

Michael, the water sound in the tub is normal, Its a chemical/water solution to help keep the tub stable/balanced during cycles. As for the jet turbo noise, you'll need to replace the bearings which are now only available with the outer tub part number 22004465. Thanks!

Sylvia, Presumably, you checked the wiring and connections, and nothing was left loose or miss wired. Now you'll need to check the control board in the console, to see if there was a short to the circuits due to the water flood, and check and make sure the door locks and the spin enable switch produces a circuit to the control board. It could be coincidence that the lock or switch failed, and the washer won't spin.

Tony, If the water is leaking from around the pulley area, the rear bearing would be the problem and need to be replaced. Check the tub to make sure that there are no cracks in the tub. Check all the hoses to make sure that they are not leaking.

Hello Dave. If there is no clogs, and the pump is running, you have a bad drain pump and will need to replace it on the unit.

Larry for Model Number fav6800aww

Washer works great untill it hits the spin cycle, tries a couple of spins then stops giving a code uC, which leads me to the wet clothes of trouble shooting. Will not perform quick spin test with- out giving uC code. Which then leads me to the tube displacement sensor. There is no access panel on back and can't figure out how to get the top up to check for loose or broken wires. Then I get on line and eveything seems to point to the drain pump. How to I open the cabinet up to check for the simple things first i.e. brooken or loose wire? Hate to buy new drain pump and its the tub displacement sensor, ect..... Any suggestions. Multiple questions, I know, thank you.

Hello Larry, To get the top up on the unit you would use a putty knife inbetween the cabinet and main top and depress clip on either side. This will release the main top and you can lift it. To remove the front panel there will be 2 - 5/16" hex screws holding front panel in place.

Hello Andy, There will always be water in the outer tub of unit. This is for all models. Also your inner tub has water that is in the body of the tub which will make you think that it is holding water. When you turn the tub you should hear water. You can check to make sure that your drain is not clogged but it should sound like water in the tub.
