Whirlpool WP6-2022030 Washer Drain Pump OEM Part

I've never fixed a major appliance, so I was quite proud to be able to fix our washing machine. My husband likes to hire repairmen for such issues, but I like to avoid the cost if at all possible. First, I searched online for the cause of the washer not draining. Forums and youtube videos informed me that it was either a faulty pump or clogged hoses. After watching some DIY videos, I removed the front panel which revealed a fairly simple setup inside: a big tub, the motor, and a pump with two hoses connected to it. I removed the hoses and determined they were clear, so assumed it must be the pump (which looked totally fine from the outside). After getting the pump from appliance parts, I clamped the two hoses on, tightened the screws, and replaced the front panel. And I was thrilled after running a small load when I opened the lid to see the clothes completely wrung out and no water sitting at the bottom!

After removing 2 screws that was holding front panel on and removing panel, disconnected 2 hoses, removed 3 screws that were holding pump. Installed new pump, connected 2 hoses and it was done. Easiest replacement ever.

Check & replace drain pump.

Couldn't find parts for my Maytag washer; well over 20 years old. Called a repair guy to help assess, they wanted $400 to do the repair. Diagnostic fee was $80. Positive result was I got part numbers for the pump and belts and as usual AppliancePartsPros.com had them in stock. Even better was a video they posted about how easy it was to do the repair, so I ordered the pump and got belts just because I would have it all opened up, and did the repair in 20 mins, parts were an EXACT match. No more need to shop for a new washer, that should hold it for several more years. And I did it for less than half the cost. THANKS!

Here's the story. All my appliances except the dryer broke. Yeah. talk about bad luck. First I tried to fix the refrigerator. Replaced both motherboard and inverter board. Now it wakes up but the compressor does not kick in. Need another part. The washer, well I have to pull out the sink to get enough room to pull out the washer to fix it. Since the refriigerator is still in the middle of the kitchen, I don't need to tear apart another room. Nevertheless, let me say this, I love my "older" appliances and I am not ready to give up. Tearing apart the washer on a Saturday afternoon is just fun to me. So far all I did was replace an inlet device I bought a while ago. I need to replace the injector hose yet but the leaking is almost gone. But the great thing about appliance parts pros is they keep the model # on record. It was long gone off of my Maytag when I first needed a part and I had to do some internet research to figure out a reasonable guess and what I ordered fit so, yay! I'll just tell the other customers; do it! My kids watched me fix stuff in their growing up years. One tore apart his bathroom to remodel it. The other graduated from engineering school. I'd say one repair begets 3 successes. Buy the way, I also needed a mirror to see behind the machine.and the 2 hours was mostly climbing around the sink to get behind the washer.
