00144640 Bosch Drain Pump for Washing Machine

Drain Pump for Washing Machine

The drain pump is a genuine OEM part designed specifically for Bosch washing machines, though it also fits certain Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore models. Its primary function is to effectively evacuate water from the washing machine tub at the end of each wash cycle, helping to prevent the accumulation of excess moisture.

Common reasons for the malfunction of the drain pump include obstructions in the pump or the drainage system, which hinder the flow of water, deterioration of the pump's internal components, or the motor bearing becoming stuck after prolonged use.

Indications that the drain pump may be failing are:

- Incomplete draining during cycles
- Water left in the tub post-cycle
- Unusual sounds or vibrations from the pump area
- Drain hoses failing to empty or making gurgling sounds

This part is essential for resolving issues such as the machine not draining properly.
