Admiral Washer AW26K3A Leaking

The Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is responsible for efficiently removing water from the washer's tub during the drain cycle. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the washing machine operates smoothly by pumping out dirty water, thereby preparing the machine for the rinse and spin cycles.

Over time, drain pumps can become clogged or fail due to debris build-up, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical malfunctions. When the drain pump is compromised, it can lead to water drainage issues, affecting the overall performance of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad drain pump assembly include:

• Water not draining from the washer
• Unusual noises such as grinding or humming during the drain cycle
• The washer stopping mid-cycle or displaying error codes related to drainage
• Visible leaks from the pump area

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

The Hose Clamp is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. It secures hoses in place, ensuring a tight connection and preventing leaks in various systems such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators. This clamp is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the water or air lines it secures.

Causes of a bad hose clamp include wear and tear over time, exposure to water and detergents, or mechanical stress from repeated tightening and loosening.

Symptoms of a bad hose clamp include:

• Leaks at the hose connection points
• Hoses slipping off the connections
• Visible rust or damage on the clamp
• Reduced appliance efficiency due to leaks

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

The Washer Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is crucial for transmitting the power from the motor to the drum, enabling the washing machine to tumble and spin during the wash and spin cycles. The drive belt wraps around the motor and drum pulleys, providing the necessary traction and tension to operate efficiently.

Causes of a bad Washer Drive Belt can include stretching over time, which reduces its efficiency to grip the pulleys properly, or fraying and cracking due to age and normal wear and tear. Misalignment or improper installation can also lead to premature belt failure.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Drive Belt include:

• The washing machine failing to spin or agitate.
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation, indicating slippage or rubbing.
• Visible signs of wear like cracks, fraying, or noticeable looseness on the belt.

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

This hose clamp secures a rubber or plastic hose to its fitting to maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal. Replace a worn or missing clamp to stop drips and keep appliance water connections secure.

• Fastens a hose to a barb or port to prevent leaks
• Helps keep hoses from slipping off due to vibration or pressure
• Restores proper sealing when a clamp is rusted, bent, or stripped
• Common symptoms: water dripping at a hose joint, loose hose connection, or a clamp that won't tighten

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water when removing hoses
• Position the clamp just behind the hose barb/bead and secure with the appropriate tool
• Restore water and power, then run a quick check for leaks at the connection
