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)

1 Answer

Rosemarie, You probably have a faulty drain pump motor WP25001052. There is no "control" on the drain pump, only a motor and the voltage to the motor is supplied from the machine control board 22004488. You may want to disconnect the red and white wires from the drain pump motor, insert or attach your meter leads to the wire twerminals, and select a spin/drain cycle and start the washer, If you read 120 VAC across the two wires the control board and wire harness are OK and you need the drain pump. If you don't have the voltage, you'll need to check the wires from the drain pump back up to the control board, and check Conn.P6 pin#4(red wire) for 120 VAC out of the control board, no voltage would indicate a faulty control board.

Hello Bill, This sounds like the unit has a clog or the pump WP25001052 is bad. These pumps aren't as robust as the other pumps they make and when debris gets to the impeller, it wastes the pump most of the time. You do need to remove both hoses and blow through them to ensure there are no clogs.

Hello Ward. The series are the first two numbers in the serial number. You can use those number to determine which pump WP25001052 or WP22003059 is needed for your unit. Hope this helps.

Vanessa M. for Model Number FAV6800AWW

I have a Maytag Neptune washer. It has stopped spinning and a fault code "Lr" keeps coming up. I had this same problem about two years ago and a repair man fixed it after three trips. I can't remember the part that fixed it but when facing the washer he put it on the right side of the washer. My husband could fix it if he knew what part it was. If you could help with this I would greatly appreciate it. When I purchase another washer, it will not be a Maytag, it will be a Whirlpool! Thank you, Vanessa

Hi Vanessa. Remove the power. Remove the back. Take the motor connector off. Use an ohm meter on the 2-gray wires. they should ohm out between 155 - 195 ohms. now check the black, white and brown wires. They should ohm out to 5 - 7 ohms between any 2 wires. Check all individual wires mentioned, one leg at a time against the motor chassis to see if any of these windings are grounded. If so then you will need motor part # is WP25001034. If all these windings test out good, then replace the motor control assy. part # is WP25001079. Thank you.

Sally, the ND code indicates the washer is not draining, or the water level switch is not resetting to the empty position. So, does the washer drain untill it's empty ? if not you may need a new drain pump WP25001052 and the water level switch is probably mounted to the drain pump 12001891 if my guess is right, depending on the model and serial number, Thanks and Good Luck.

Jennifer, The "ND" code stands for No Drain, or the control board is not seeing the water level switch circuit, reset to empty. With a noisy pump and a drain code problem, replace the pump WP25001052, and check the drain hoses for debris. The water level switch mounts directly to the top of the drain pump, check the wiring for loose connections, and the interior of the rubber cap and opening for debris,( lint or water/detergent deposits ) blocking the air flow to the switch. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Laz. Make sure the door is locking and the lock light is coming on. If it is not, you will need to check the control board WP22004325 located in the top of the dryer, and see if the R-11 resistor is burnt. If so, you will need to replace the control board and the wax motor WP22002119 in the machine. If it is good, you can check the spin enable switch WP22002162 and see if it is working properly. If it is not, you will need to replace the spin enable switch. If the door is locking correctly, you will need to test the out of balance switches WP22002044 WP22003302. Make sure they have no broken wires and the switches are working correctly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
