This is an electric drain pump that removes water from the wash tub during the drain and spin cycles of a washing machine. It is typically mounted at the bottom of the washer and connects to the drain hose. Replace this pump if the washer fails to drain, drains very slowly, or makes loud humming or grinding noises during the drain cycle.
