Function & Importance of the Drain Pump
The washer drain pump is responsible for removing wastewater from the drum during the drain phase of the wash cycle. It actively pumps out dirty water through the drain hose, allowing the washer to proceed to rinsing and spinning.
A properly functioning drain pump is critical because:
-
It ensures complete water removal after each cycle
-
It allows the washer to advance through cycles correctly
-
It prevents standing water, odours, and residue buildup
Using a genuine OEM pump like WPW10661045 guarantees correct flow rate, electrical compatibility, and long-term reliability. Inferior pumps can lead to poor drainage, overheating, or premature failure.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Drain Pump
If your washer is showing any of the following issues, the drain pump may need replacement:
-
Washer won’t drain or drains very slowly

-
Unusual noises (grinding or humming) during draining

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
