The Water Pump is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays a key pump function by introducing water into the wash tub. Proper water circulation is necessary for effective cleaning.

Symptoms of a faulty pump include: 

  • Slow or no water filling during wash cycles    
  • Water leaks or drips due to cracked pump housing
  • Loud grinding or knocking noises during operation
  • Error codes for water fill related issues

Causes of pump failure can be due to regular usage over time, mineral buildup inhibiting flow inside the pump, or cracks developing in the plastic housing exposing internal components to corrosion.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Geofary, You would want to test to see if the drain pump is getting 120 vac to it and if it is then the drain pump would be faulty.

The drain pump has gone out on our washer. The part number off the part that's actually in the washer is W10130914 however, we are only able to find replacement parts for W10130913. A few places we've looked say that the part we are looking for and item 314 are interchangeable, but before I purchase a 100.00 pump I want to make sure we aren't wasting our time with ordering the wrong pump. From the pictures, they look like they are fine but I am worried about the volt/amp specification to make sure this part is strong enough since I can't find the actual part number I am looking for.

I noticed when I am done washing and spin the drum to make sure there is no clothes left in, that there is a swishing sound. I had been used to stuffing the machine and was told it would clean better if I didn't do that, so I started to do more loads with less clothes at once. After the washing is completed there is water left under the drum. I checked the drain plug and was basically pretty clean. There was about 3 cups of water left in the machine. When the pump was running it felt hot. I am not sure if that is normal or not. It was warm to the touch. It worked enough to go through all the cycles and complete the washing, but there is some reason it isn't emptying that last little bit under the drum. Prior to this I had gotten a F21 error a couple times. Long Drain. taking longer then 8 seconds to drain. So the tech sheet said it could be either the drain pump or the pressure sw. So should I change out both?

1 Answer

Cindy, It is normal for there to be a little water left in the outer tub when the unit is done washing. The inner tub will also have a solution in it which will cause the swishing noise as well. You will want to check to make sure that the drain pump is not clogged. and if the error keeps occurring then the issue will most likely be a drain pump issue.

Rick, If you are able to flip the connector over to connect you can do it this way. If it still will not fit then it will not matter which terminal goes to which and you can install the individual wires to the pump motor.

Dan for Model Number WFW8400TW02

I replaced the water pump after having several occasional error code F-21 and one F-33. All subsequent diagnostic tests and wash cycles have not triggered error codes. However, after draining normally for most of the drain cycle, the pump starts pulsing, the drain hose shakes, and you can hear water slowly trickling down the drain. Draining the tub takes much longer than before. I have reinstalled the pump a few times and cannot find any kinks or leaks in the hoses. Any ideas?

1 Answer

Dan, Would suggest that you check all the hoses to make sure that they are not clogged up. Also check to make sure that the wiring to the pump is good. The other issue would most likely be a faulty control board.

Hello Sherman, The pump should have a small locking mechanism that should be depressed while turning the pump. When the pump is rotated about 1/4 turn, it will release from the housing.

Josh for Model Number WFW9200SQA12

I need to replace the drain pump.. I've ordered and received from you guys.. watching the video I saw that the repair man unplugged the machine, and also turned off the water.. Doing this job myself I can not reach the shutoff's behind the units. My washer and dryer are stacked and I'm not physically able to move them on my own. My question is do you really need to turn the water off? If the machine is unplugged it cant and wont draw water right? I have drained all the water out of the tub and drain by taking the drain plug out of the existing pump.. so if I don't have to shut the water off I'm ready to make the swap. THX

1 Answer

Hello Josh. As long as you do not do anything to damage the valve or the hoses, then you should be fine not turning it off.
