If your washer is failing to drain or leaving water behind after cycles, this drain pump assembly is one of the most common and effective fixes.

Function & Importance of the Drain Pump Assembly

The drain pump and motor assembly is responsible for removing water from the washer during the drain cycle.

It works by:

• Activating during the drain phase of the wash cycle

• Pumping used water out through the drain hose

• Allowing the washer to proceed to spin and rinse cycles properly

Using a Genuine OEM assembly like W11396717 is essential because:

• It ensures proper water flow and pressure

• Maintains safe and efficient washer operation

• Prevents leaks, clogs, and motor strain

A failing pump can disrupt the entire wash cycle, leading to incomplete cleaning and potential water damage.

If your washing machine is showing any of the following issues, replacing the drain pump assembly may resolve the problem:

• Washer won’t drain or leaves water in the tub

• Standing water after the cycle ends

• Unusual noises (grinding, humming, or rattling) during drain cycle

• Washer stops mid-cycle or fails to spin properly

• Error codes related to drain or pump failure
