This Top Load Washer Drain Pump is located at the bottom of the appliance and removes water during the drain portion of the wash cycle. If your washer doesn’t drain properly, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. To access the part, start by removing the front access panel of the washer. Then, remove the hoses attached to the pump (be sure to place some towels down to catch any water). Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, and a putty knife. It also involves some disassembly of the appliance and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
