WPW10276397 Whirlpool Drain Pump for Washing Machine

Drain Pump for Washing Machine.

The Whirlpool brand encompasses a range of products from Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool Drain Pump is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part that is essential for extracting water from the washing machine during its drain cycle. The pump is triggered after the spin cycle reaches a certain speed, effectively removing water. A malfunctioning or non-draining washer could indicate a blockage or a fault in the pump, which operates with 120V 60Hz specifications.

To replace the pump, you do not need to open the main body of the machine. Start by turning off the water and disconnecting the power. Carefully tip the washing machine forward, resting it on a padded surface to avoid damage. Next, disconnect the harness from the pump motor, remove the hose clamp, and detach the hose. Finally, unscrew the three mounting screws to take out the pump assembly. Replacing this part is vital for maintaining the washing machine's performance and durability.
