Over time, it's common for drain pumps to degrade, which can lead to several issues including water leaks, strange noises, the machine not spinning correctly, or cycles not completing. Installing a new drain pump can often rectify these issues, thus restoring the washer's efficiency.<br /><br />The pump adheres to stringent performance standards set by the original equipment manufacturer. To ensure safety, it is advised to disconnect the washing machine from the power supply before attempting to replace the pump. Effective functioning of the pump ensures that water is expelled from the tub through the drain hose post-agitation, helping to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water and the risk of mold formation. This replacement pump is suitable for use with specific models from Whirlpool brands like Crosley, Inglis, and Roper.
